Vegas Beach

Surf Noir (n): A dark and twisted instrumental blend of Surf, Goth, old school New Orleans jazz and southern swamp Blues, with even a hint of country and a healthy dose of camp. Canada's own Vegas Beach are the self proclaimed pioneers of the Surf Noir genre. Vegas Beach is the latest project from Ricky Las Vegas, cofounder of the Vampire Beach Babes, and was formed from the ranks of now legendary New World Disorder. Their first album, Dark Side Of The Beach, was recorded live in only a few hours.With a new rhythm section comes an even stronger CD, entitled Share The Sand, which features 12 rollicking instrumentals. Vegas Beach continues to experiment with a quirky mix of surf and Gothic genres, plus a variety of other influences, creating soundscapes that slip effortlessly between the dark and the light. So pour yourself a glass of Lonesome Monkey, kick off your shoes, and pull up a chair on Vegas Beach.
