Biography

In 2004 he continued to perform with The Surfaris and his other band, "Jim Fuller & The Beatnik" with a fan base in United States, Europe, and Japan.

There was simply no way "Wipe Out" was going to be ignored. Cut at Powell Studios in Cucamonga, the record begins with a cracking sound, meant to be a surfboard breaking in half (Berryhill's dad did the honors). It's immediately followed by a crazed laugh (that was the band's manager, Dale Smallin) and a falsetto voice: "ha ha ha ha ha, wipe out," before Wilson's trademark drum solo—imitated by countless drummers and, to the chagrin of many high school teachers, students banging it out on their desks—and Fuller's guitar lead kick in.

He was also a studio musician, and performed on many other artists' such as "The Seeds", rock, folk, and blues songs throughout his career, performing vocals, lead and bass guitar.

Following the Surfaris' split, Fuller briefly played with the Seeds, of "Pushin' Too Hard" fame, then rejoined the Surfaris. The group has come and gone with varying lineups since the '60s.

He is featured on "Hollywood's Rock Walk of Fame".
