Details
On the SURFace (yes, we did that), Golems of the Red Planet take selections from John Zorn’s Masada and send them crashing through the reverb tank of a surf band.
Featuring members of Tin Huey, Half Cleveland, The HiFis, Unit 5, The Pointless Orchestra, Trial of Lucy and Flying Carpet People, this is very much not a normal band — and has no intention of becoming one.
Originally a studio-only project, the Golems are celebrating the release of their Hey Day Again album Surf Masada by taking it to the stage.
Turning up? Absolutely. Tuning up? Maybe. Either way… SURF’S UP (we regret nothing).
Jupiter 2 is a three-piece instrumental caper, fusing the echo-soaked swagger of surf rock with the hypnotic pulse of deep-space grooves. Emerging from Akron, Ohio’s underground scene, the band features drummer Mark Smith (Dutch Babies, Nite Klub, X_x), guitarist James Millar (Missile Toe, Peep), and bassist Linda Millar (The Crones, Peep)—all veterans of genre-bending projects like Zen Luv Assassins and the F-Models tribute band, S’Not Right.
Their sound is a cinematic collision of vintage sci-fi soundscapes, relentless rhythms, and otherworldly energy—equal parts beach party and alien abduction. Whether you’re catching a wave on some distant ocean planet or navigating Akron’s Route 8 at warp speed, Jupiter 2’s Intergalactic Surf & Turf is the ultimate soundtrack for your next cosmic adventure.
