Catching A Wave goes back to the 80's this week! All the songs this hour come from this awesome decade. We'll board the Catching A Wave Time Machine for the week of June 15th, 1985 to hear some songs on the Billboard Hot 100 including the song at the top. Beth Riley has a deep track from The Beach Boys in her Surf's Up-Beth's Beach Boys Break. We have a tune from the debut album by The Bangles that's celebrating it's 40th anniversary in our Good Time segment and we'll drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to spin some wax from the early 80's for our selection of the week (The Malibooz). Plus, 80's tunes from The Raybeats, The Untamed Youth, Duane Eddy, Davie Allan & The Arrows (featuring Dick Dale), The Halibuts, Jon & The Nightriders, The Surf Raiders, Surf Punks, The Surfin' Lungs, The Wedge and The Neptunes!
