The Break with Martin Cilia, 1st April 2011

The Break & Martin CiliaTHE BREAK
A Double Dose Of Pounding Surf
with Martin Cilia (The Atlantics)
Manly Fisho’s – Friday, 1st April, 2011

When the three remaining members of Midnight Oil formed Australia’s most exciting new surf band last year with Violent Femmes bass player Brian Ritchie, their first club date was at a packed-out Manly Fisho’s. The guys returned in November for sold out shows with mates The Hoodoo Gurus. With Fisho’s set to close its doors any day now, fans have one final chance to catch The Break’s incredible live performance at the venue. The Break have been busy touring their strange and wonderful brand of interplanetary surf since the April release of their hugely acclaimed debut album ‘Church of the Open Sky’.  With stand-out performances at major festivals across Australia, including Byron and Woodford and a now legendary appearance closing ABC’s Spicks and Specks, The Break is fully amped and ready to party. The band will be available for meet and greet/signings after the show.


The Manly show offers a double helping of surf with a bill that includes The Atlantics’  surf rock guitarist Martin Cilia, whose live set will feature fellow Atlantics Michael Smith and Jeff Cripps and will include classic favourites like ‘Bombora’ as well as tunes from Cilia’s solo surf guitar albums.


Kicking off the evening will be Central Coast singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Moldre whose swag of catchy indie pop songs are perfectly embellished by the impressive skills of percussionist Adam Lang on suitcase drums, lap steel and banjo. 

 
Tickets for this show are priced at $20 + b/f in advance and $25 on the door.
Pre-booking strongly recommended at www.moshtix.com.au,
300 GET TIX (438 849) mobile www.moshtix.mobi and all moshtix outlets

Radio show seeks music to air

Aloha, all.

I am looking for promo CDs of surf music bands to air on my "Island Time" radio show.  If you would like to send me anything, here's my address:

P.O. Box 1269, Kilauea, Hawaii 96754.

My show originated on KMXT public radio in October, 2000, and is about to be revived there. I frankly was unaware of how many bands are producing great music in the old style, and I would like to air your music to the "Island Time" mix.

Thanks!


Graphic Artist Wanted

You may have noticed SG101 has changed! Yes, that's right we switched over to all new software with a new design by Ken Dushane. As we settle into the new digs and squash the bugs, I have a request for all you graphic designers. 

I'd like to get a new set of "news topics icons" for the new site. I'm willing to pay you for your work, and give you credit on our colophon page. Please send me a quote and perhaps a sketch of your ideas or a pointer to existing work. 

You can see the existing topic icons on the news category page
