Bio
Wind the clock back several decades and imagine a California summer of a much simpler time. Even if you weren’t around in those years, it probably isn’t all that tough to picture. In fact, you’ve probably seen it before on television or in the movies—whether it’s Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello injecting a dose of fun in the sun as part of their “Beach Party” collection of films, or perhaps on television in the ‘60s surfer girl comedic hit series “Gidget. ” And chances are, you’re probably familiar with the music of the era, too: the upbeat, heavily melodic and beautifully harmonic, carefree compositions from hit-making artists like Jan and Dean or The Beach Boys. Sure, that sort of stuff was prevalent during another generation. But, where did all those good times, positive vibes and simple enjoyment of a youthful life go? And how come they just don’t seem to exist today? Nearly a half-century later, San Diego-based beach surf-rockers Fight Fair hope that they’ll have answers in their battle to reintroduce the best of the beach: the playfulness, the parties, the people and, most of all, the pop-laced singalongs. And they’ve managed to encapsulate their fight to party in a eleven-track offering, aptly dubbed California Kicks. And who better to reignite this unique affinity of classic surf rock hit makers with the edge of today’s contemporary rock scene than this beach-based five some, who’ve deftly merged both yesterday and today, melding the band’s current punk influences with the records and lifestyle of the surf community from the summers of the ‘60s.
