pollo del mar

American surf band Pollo Del Mar recorded Frank Zappa's 'Take Your Clothes off' on their "The Ocean Is Not For Cowards" album.

They also recorded Frank Zappa's 'Peaches en Regalia' for "Lemme Take You To The Beach", the Zappa Surf album on Cordelia records.

Ferenc: Pollo Del Mar is a 4 piece instrumental rock group from San Francico CA.

UM: What kind of music do you normally play? Are you a Surf kind of person or band? Is it your way of life? Do you really want to live in California?

Ferenc: We play guitar instrumentals with a heavy surf and ocean influence. And yes, we love living in California!

Ferenc: It has been frequently suggested over the years, but Alan is the first person to actually want to put it out.

UM: What was first: the project or your track? In other words, were you already playing ‘Peaches En Regalia’ before you heard of Alan's project, or did you start working on it after you found out about the project?

Ferenc: We have been planning on recording "Peaches En Regalia" for quite some time, but
this project gives us a reason.

UM: How did you choose the Zappa composition? Is it your favourite Zappa composition or just the one that needs a Surf Treatment?

Ferenc: We love the song, and prefer the version from "Mothers Live at Fillmore East" to the studio version.

Ferenc: I hope we don't get sued. Oh, and I found this quote from Zappa himself:
From an appearance by Frank Zappa on KSAN Radio in San Francisco on the Tom Donahue show. It was taped in November, 1968. The show included Frank and Tom discussing music, as well as Frank spinning records from his personal collection. During the course of the show, Tom brought up Dick Dale and the huge contract that Capitol had offered him at one point in time. This eventually led to these comments by Frank, which I found quite interesting:
"We can also look forward to a resurgance of surf music in the future...The type of music; the style of music may return. And there were some very interesting things happening harmonically in the surf/hot-rod type of rock and roll music."
