The Shi-Tones Live Park Chalet November 25, 2004

Small combo guitar groups don't get much better than this. The Shitones are a surf-inspired band featuring Shigemi "Shig33" Komiyama on drums, Jennifer Burnes on bass, and Jim Thomas on guitar. The Shitones have been going strong for almost 10 years, performing weekly at the Beach Chalet for many years, and at the Sandbar prior to that. Jim Thomas, classically trained guitarist for the Mermen fronts this group. More interested in playing classic tunes from the golden age of surf music than the jamming psychedelic surf style of the Mermen this group is a lot of fun and must be great live.
Anyway here's a superbly recorded set with almost NO audience noise. A combo of old and new surf.

You can get ANOTHER great Shi-tones show here:

A big thanks to Xtabay for that show - and that fact that I "borrowed" some of his review since he said it better than me.
And thanks to the Shi-tones and the original taper for sharing this. Always cool when the bands let the fans participate. Support the bands, see them live and get their stuff.
