Longboard Ranch, (LBR) began in 1998. Our sound and style is that of the original early 60s surf bands. The motivating force in starting LBR came from Doug Appleton, drummer, and Bruce Duncan, Guitarist. In mid-2000 after our original Bassist, and other Guitarist left, we replaced them with Loyd Davis, guitarist, (who was a founding member of The Surf Raiders, one of the L.A. Surf Bands responsible for the upsurge of interest in Surf Music, which led to the "Second Wave"), and Chris Ireland, bassist, (who at one time, worked with Leo Fender at G&L Guitars)
One thing we all share in common, is a love of Instrumental and Surf Music which goes back to our early childhoods. As a teenager, Loyd used to travel down to The Rendezvous Ballroom to see early Dick Dale shows. Bruce was 8 years old when he first heard "Walk Don't Run" by The Ventures, It was 1960, and the song was climbing into the Top 10. Doug's older siblings used to listen to The Ventures, The Shadows, The Lively Ones, The Chantays, etc, etc, and even as a toddler, he was continuously exposed to, and grew up loving these bands and their music. Chris's parents had a collection of music that included Martin Denny, Henry Mancini and The Ventures and his love of this music has been a lifelong thing.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live frequently, performing around Southern California: The Los Angeles Zoo, The Autry Museum of Western Heritage, The Huntington Beach Surf Museum, The Lava Lounge, and many other public events such as street festivals, car shows, parties, night clubs & restaurants.

I've been listening to Ghosts At The Ranch,Code Red,Nuevo Durango, Behind The Wall, and more. I can't get the grin off my face. These are the sounds I remember when I was younger. Being here was a gas... Or a toke.... or whatever. I'll be back.
Excellent mood and performance. Great!

Attention Soundclick Users-
If you dont come to my site and listen to my new track "Gory" then a mythological beast will swoop into your room late at night and eat your soul. So just listen to it and save you and the beast some trouble.
