A picture of our show yesterday at the Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, great stage and very nice people there. It went pretty well for a first show, looking forward to the next one this Friday !

The Blackball Bandits are ready for their Halloween show tonight at the Bootlegger's Brewery ! The set-list will include a cover of one of the best Halloween surf songs (as voted on this forum), "Haunted House of Rock" by the Satan's Pilgrims.
Happy Halloween to everyone !

A video of our show yesterday at the Santa Ana 4th Street Market, covering a very classic :

It was fun to have our friend Romain playing the trumpet ! Unfortunately our drummer was out of town, but we managed to play anyway with drums tracks.
Next show will on February 12th, at the Karman Bar in Laguna Niguel, this time (hopefully) as a full band :

Dear friends,
We have just released our first EP, "Confrontation on the Extraterrestrial Highway", available on Bandcamp (download and CDs): https://blackballbandits.bandcamp.com/releases
6 songs, including 5 originals and a medley of Ennio Morricone western themes. Some of you might have already heard the demo versions of these songs, that were recorded before the band was complete. Here we are now, as a full 6-member band on this release (our trumpet player doesn't appear on the cover, he was absent at the time and avoided the abduction).
We celebrate this by a "mini-OC tour" this week-end, with a show at Spikes Bar and Grill in Rosemead on tomorrow Saturday 17 (with Jason Lee and the Rip Tides, Black Magic Beach Party and the Tiki Creeps), Surfin Sunday at the pier in Huntington Beach (starting at 11 am), followed by a show at the 4th street market in Santa Ana at 2:45 pm. 3 chances to see us if you're around OC this week-end, and why not get a CD of the EP
We'll also have a special release for Halloween in a month or so, with some spooky surf at the menu ! More news very soon !
