On their third release I think Los Ultraman finally found their groove. Their last two releases showed moments of interesting ideas that never quite found their way into something that worked for me. The opening track "Non DNA Man" immediately shows off where they've gone: a pastiche of familiar surf riffs with wild saxophone riffs slowly getting wilder and more effect-driven, eventually spiraling into some Sun Ra spaciness before kicking right back into gear.

After a great first day, it was time for a full 12 hours of surf groups from all over the globe.
This was my second year at SG101 and tell ya right off the bat: it's a ton of fun and if you've ever thought about going you should go.
Had a huge boatload of new-to-the-show stuff and actually ran out of time to play all of it! Some brand new stuff from Bande de los Apaches, The Men in Gray Suits, Los Apollos, Los Ultraman, The Mystery Men, and Surfyer!
