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
Production - George Howell

Following our in depth and eye-opening interview with Sir Zachary Throne, we jump in our Cessna plane and head up to Vancouver to talk about the short lived American band drama, “The Heights”.
The single season series focused on a young band navigating their way through life, love and surviving in an anonymous city surrounded by very-obvious-sounding Canadians. Zachary Throne played the keyboardist and gave us some slick insight into the production, music writing, overnight success and subsequent cancellation of this forgotten cult-favorite.
Peat and James are here to talk about the absurd amount of characters, instruments, sub-plots and 90210 connections this week. They also take a hard look at how different their life would have been had they had a dimly lit pool hall in their youths to hash out the trial and errors of adolescence. Hear how this northern sister show to California Dreams came to be and how, inexplicably, it lost the war despite having a #1 single under its belt.
Next Episode: California Dreams - 3x6 “The Long Goodbye”
