Beachcoma started around 1980, Ian and Jem would get together for a bit of a jam playing some JJ Cale, Dire Straits, and some Shadows tunes, Nigel joined later bringing the sound from a late 1950's Hofner President Bass, and then things went the way of fast moving Surf style of music which then became there very own

This was the beginning of COMA..... In the early years of the band they used to get together with a friend called Jic (spelling?)on drums, then we heard about this young chap called Dave 
(commonly known as Chaz these days) he jumped at the chance to play with the Band

Coma then went on and did many gigs in their short 3-4 years together, and can claim a large amount of fans, and support.

While recording the Shotgun E P it was the record company who asked the boys to change their name to "BeachComa"

With many radio plays all around the world and in the UK, included on a compilation CD "Hang 11" they made their mark

"Surf music"

When a  couple of members moved to the Highlands of Scotland, the band then evolved into the Surfrats cutting down the full instrumental set with some added vocal standards and original material (not the same) they also had great success

But! the word is, Its BeachComa that can be very well remembered more, mainly for that very sound they can call their own.

Some members of BeachComa are considering a reunion some time please return and check this site for details...If you think that they should "do it again" send your feedback.
