There's just no reasonable explanation why one of the greatest surf bands ever came from, of all places, the relatively sea-less state of Colorado but that's a fact. Extraordinarily popular in their home state, the Astronauts were not only a terrific surf band (their big hit GÇÿBajaGÇÖ, included here, is one of the finest guitar instrumentals of all time) but a pioneer bar band as well.
