A podcast TEN YEARS in the making...
'Surf Dudes with Attitude' is the #1 podcast about the 90's teen sitcom "California Dreams". Okay, so, we are also the only podcast of its kind but let's not quibble! The show centered around a high school band as they navigate life, friendship and songwriting. Their choices are questionable, their fashion is exquisite, and their music is... well... we will let you be the judges of that. It's dated, sometimes cringey but also surprisingly wholesome?
Peat Rains and Zac Fable, two career musicians will meticulously and tirelessly break down all 78 episodes of this show. Peat was inspired at a young age to become a musician, partly because of California Dreams! Zac, well, he had never heard of it before being bullied onto the podcast. We'll be analyzing all of their musical business decisions from an industry standpoint. We'll be covering the songs and dissecting them based on music theory and our objectionable taste. Special guests incoming. Patreon/Discord also set up for bonus content including reviews of other band-centric TV and film, commentaries and Q&As.
Neither of us surf and we're actually quite agreeable people. Peat can't sing and Zac was homeschooled so he has no foundational understanding of how a high school operates. We're completely qualified here.

Peat - You Bred Raptors?
Zac - Fable Cry

WOOF! We got a racially charged, early 90’s, NUANCED episode to talk about. The gang gets history projects that focus on their family lineage. There’s zero music from this so-called band and a lot of storylines that age like fermented milk in the trunk of a scrapyard van. Tony fibs about his past when he’s confronted with slavery. Sly, of course, also lies but doesn’t learn as much of a lesson. Yes… that tracks.
This is the first of THREE very special episodes in a row. UGH! But, this is episode 311, so we are allotted at least one reference to everyone’s favorite rap-rock band from Omaha. Timbre is the color of your energy here at California Dreams! James had some choice words after watching this episode and Peat is still waiting for any of these cast members to return our interview requests. Come on! There’s catering! See you at Sharkey’s!!
Next Episode: California Dreams - 3x12 “Harley and the Marlboro Man”
