About Me


A SMALL SECTION ABOUT MYSELF...
I have been singing for more than 10 years Beach Boys' music with the Pipelines, the premium Italian Beach Boys band, and with these guys I've done everything, visited any kind of stage and met any kind of people. Long and superb experience that gave me so much!
I've been involved for long time in booking surf bands in Italy. I created and managed www.surferjoe.it in 2002, a very successful web community of all the Italian surf bands, distributing their music and promoting their activities. Lots of fun! With SurferJoe.it I've organized 2 international surf music festivals where I had the pleasure to book bands like Slacktone, Bambi Molesters and Surfin' Lungs, I've booked the first Dick Dale concert in Italy, the Surfaris, contributed to the Beach Boys' show in Milano, I recently promoted the only Trashmen's Italian event, and done many other small events and parties.

Suddenly I've suspended doing these cool things for a while because I've moved to Antigua, in the Caribbean... but it has all started again!
SurferJoe is now accepting surf bands from all over the world. The main domain has changed from www.surferjoe.it to www.surferjoemusic.com . The listing is absolutely FREE and it just bring you good promotion! Remember we are first of all surf music fans, we want to keep surf music alive!

Long time ago (and many pounds ago...):
a TV program with the Pipelines

A video of the Pipelines live on stage recorded
a few years ago at the Rolling Stone in Milano

I have read many reviews of this album and the version of Simon Zealotes recorded by the Pipelines for OmOm Records. YES, I wrote and sang the magic words "Surf me, surf me Jesus" !!

Wadadli Riders Summer 2007

Here’s a cool one... the cinema commercial of my computer company in Antigua

Influences: Drums
Joe Morello and Louie Bellson are my all time favorites, then many old-school drummers and present musicians I had the pleasure to meet and listen to. Anyway I love all vintage surf and rock 'n' roll music and that kind of dirty sound on the drums !!

Guitar
Too many artists and bands to list. Almost everything related to surf music, but the clean sound of a Fender Jaguar really makes me GO BANANAS !!
My favourite surf band? The Astronauts from Colorado.

Other
For all the rest Niki (my wife) and my mom have a lot of influence on myself... especially when they get upset for something I've done...

Sounds Like: All drummers who have the honour to play Ludwig Drums: fantastic!

Type of Label: None
