Taking their cue from such '60s surf trailblazers Dick Dale and the Ventures, Aqua Velvets (which includes members Hank Maninger [second guitar], Michael Lindner [bass/keys/accordion], and Donn Spindt [drums], in addition to Corbin) are completely an instrumental band. 1992 saw the release of their self-titled debut release, which was largely a low-budget affair (recorded in the band's own home basement recording studio, with Corbin's guitar overdubs recorded in the back of a car!). Shortly after the initial pressing on their own label sold out, more releases followed -- 1995's Surfmania, 1996's Nomad, and 1997's Guitar Noir. In 2000, Corbin issued his very first solo release, Sounds From the Tiki Hut. ~ Greg Prato
