Hailing from San Diego, JASON LEE AND THE R.I.P. TIDES are a three-piece group who deliver a raw and edgy mix to the culture of instrumental surf music. Using a blend of vintage and modern equipment, they dial in a tone that is huge. The group has developed a dedicated fan base from local and national surf, skate and tiki sub-cultures.
Guitarist Jason Lee writes and records original music for television networks such as A&E, Discovery, Spike and more. Jason also teaches a surf guitar class dedicated to the tones and technique of the 60's at Tiki Oasis.
This record has a mix of high energy surf, instro horror rock and some extra surprises. Recorded, mixed and engineered by Jim Monroe of The Racket Room in Santa Ana, CA.

Just one look at that hairstyle and soon you realize he must be some kinda weirdo or a new surfin' gutar hero or... both. Anyway, JASON LEE and his crew had their surfin' instro debut on Dionysus this year and it's a cool one. Although Dionysus records is famous for its garage/surf slabs of Bomboras, Tiki Tones or Boss Martians, this is more in straight traditional 60's style reverb instro surfin' [No Fuzz/Wah extravaganza]. If you dig stuff like The Fathoms, OK Kings, Bambi Molesters etc. you should check this out!
