Dick Dale Fansite

Dick Dale and Quentin Tarantino are a match made in heaven. The dramatic music that opens the blockbuster film, Pulp Fiction was written and performed by Dick Dale, 1960’s beach music icon and founder of Dick Dale and the Del Tones.

From his first performances at the famous Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California to the high tech world of Hollywood movie making, Dick Dale has never lost the passion for music that is evident in every note he plays. When Dale met Tarantino, Tarantino told him, “I am one of your biggest fans, Misirlou is a masterpiece.” Tarantino went on to say, “I would love to have your permission to make a movie that will complement the master piece of Misirlou.”

Dale states that after he saw Reservoir Dogs he knew that Tarantino was “No Bullshitter.”
Pulp Fiction made its debut in October of 1994. It was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture.
Dick Dale is still very active in the music industry and recently released works which include “Tribal Thunder” and “Unknown Territory.”
