Surf Instro Review: The Cocktail Preachers-Nothing Much Happening...

This group, The Cocktail Preachers, hailing from the Chicago area, has put together an excellent debut EP, Nothing Much Happening....

They are successful in covering all sub-genres with an assortment of high-energy, power-packed surf tunes.

The use of the saxophone always creates a different dimension to the music. This is what will separate them from the pack.

There aren't too many surf groups that use the sax. This was too short for me, I enjoyed it, so I wanted more! I look forward to a full-length release.

Look for their work on an upcoming Del-Fi compilation called Surf Monsters, due out in late May.

A lot is happening in Chicago. Perhaps the title refers to the fact that they don't surf in Chicago, so nothing is happening? The future looks bright for the Cocktail Preachers. Somebody sign these guys so we can hear a full-length CD!
