The holiday classic "Christmas In Malibu," released in the fall of 1988. The Rad Dudes were formed in the fall of 1988 by producer Joe Klein to record and perform the holiday classic "Christmas In Malibu" which was released to radio only as a holiday single that year. The group recorded one more track, a cover version of the classic summer hits "Surfer Girl" and "A Summer Song" and disbanded in 1989 after a record deal with a major label could not be secured.
