642 The Lively Ones “Surf Rider” 1963

“When the Lively Ones were riding the crest of the surf-rock explosion in the early to mid-‘60s, guitarist Jim Masoner was known for his sometimes hyperkinetic stage antics. Jumping on amplifiers and hurling his shoulder into walls to help create outrageous guitar racket, Masoner would often discover that his jacket or pants needed mending following a typical sweaty show” (Jon Matsumoto, Los Angeles Times, 5/27/1996).
