Great Instrumentals#3--The Atlantics: "Bombora"

Well, I went looking for something by the well-known group The Ventures for the next edition of Great Instrumentals but instead I found these guys--an Australian Band from the 1960's I hadn't heard before. So I played the cut.

It's damn good.

The video along with the tune is like a monochrome version of the classic documentary, "The Endless Summer" (1966). The Ventures will just have to wait their turn. These fast-strumming boys from The Antipodes--some of whom still are performing together so I gather-- have prevailed. Hope you enjoy!
