War Path

Davie Allan and the Arrows is a lesser known surf rock instrumental band, but unlike most, they are still regularly releasing albums.  Davie Allan grew up in the San Fernando Valley in California and learned his guitar skills while he was a teenager.  He and Mike Curb, who met while in a high school choir in Van Nuys, California, formed an instrumental surf combo.  Curb founded Cude Records in 1963 and released Davie Allan's first single on that label, "War Path".  Several other Davie Allan songs were released by the label under names like the Sudells, the Heyburners and the Zanies.
