Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rounding out a prolific year, 'Going to the Ventures' Dance Party' sees the group pivoting slightly towards the emerging Hot Rod music scene while maintaining their core surf rock foundation. The arrangements are bright, highly rhythmic, and specifically designed for teenage dance floors. It continued their unprecedented run of commercial dominance in the instrumental rock sphere.
