The
Coconauts are an out of this world reverb-drenched instrumental surf
band. These astronauts that were lost in time and space found their way
back to Earth during July 2009 and brought their classic sound from the
'60s to Arizona. With a large repertoire of originals and their own
take on classics, The Coconauts are sure to convert you with their
Coco-naughty sounds of the surf. So, bring a little reverberation into
your life, kick back and imbibe their intoxicating concoction of
multi-dimensional sounds of the summer of 1963.
The
Coconauts have been performing together in the
Phoenix area since 2009. They have performed at a wide variety of
venues throughout the valley including such places as the Rhythm Room,
Big Surf Water Park, the Arizona Taco Festival and Chase Field. It's
not just interesting places they've played, The Coconauts have
performed
with national acts like The Fireballs (#1 Billboard hit Sugar Shack in
'63, Bulldog), Deadbolt and Laramie Dean as well as with a wide variety
of local bands. The Coconauts have also performed live on FOX
10 News, Erratic Radio and the NSFW
Show (Episode 196 available on twit.tv).
Their fun attitude and catchy music fits into
any event.

"...Excellent
musicianship and excellent sounds permeate I Drove My Car To Heaven.
I absolutely love this EP."
"...I Drove My Car To Heaven is a beautiful, dreamy song, reminiscent
of starry moonlit nights, the Milky Way and the light fantastic.
What a terrific way to start things off while, at the same
time, pointing toward The Coconauts' new direction! I Drove
My Car To Heaven is so pretty that I nominate it to be on the 2014 Top
10 Instrumental Hits list."

"The
Lonely Coconaut - Terrific surf tune with a Spanish flair. The
Coconauts soak the speakers in a sea of reverb. The steady eighth-note
rhythm and bass drives The Lonely Coconaut in an intoxicating, yet
captivatingly urgent, direction. The lead guitar is beautiful. With my
headphones on, The Lonely Coconaut has an almost three-dimensional
sound and physical feel to it. How did they do that? Very cool. With
music like this, The Lonely Coconaut won't be lonely for long."
