Flying Guitars album gets Super strong review

Uncategorized

We’re huge fans of Conrad Swartz’s rocking and stylish playing on previous records and this is just as good. Great originals and a Ventures tribute in “Run” with WDR sequences. I think we’ve said it before but today’s Nokie Edwards! ****

writes Davy Peckett, editor of New Gandy Dancer magazine (“The magazine for rock instrumental music”) in issue 129, December 2017. If you know The Ventures, you know Nokie Edwards, their lead guitar virtuoso. There is no stronger compliment we could receive.

Two new Insanitizers videos on YouTube

Solving the Puzzle video on YouTube

Ghost Surfers video on YouTube

In both videos Conrad plays a Goya Rangemaster archtop guitar through a Traynor tube amplifier (visible in lower left corner of screen). “Solving the Puzzle” is a different performance of the same song on our “Flying Guitars” and “Guitar Adventures” albums. This is our only recording of “Ghost Surfers.”
