In an effort to build a stronger audience for surf music and the bands that have been performing the Midwest Surf Spy and Spaghetti Syndicate, Dave Davies of the AmpFibians and Don Schott of Don't Fear the Reverb have teamed up with Bob, the owner of the
Mahogany's (formerly known as Lucille’s - the blues club) in LATONIA SPRINGS KY. The monthly SURF NIGHT will try to feature a minimum of 3 performance groups per night with one of them being "friends of surf" vocal groups. This would include Rock- A - Billy and Link Wray style bands. The SURF EXPLOSIONS need to be better attended and this is one way of consistently increasing audience awareness in the area, we have BIG plans. Right now there is minimal money on the table to be able to get groups in from other cities that are not direct "neighbors" to the area. We plan to keep the invitations open though, as the SURF EXPLOSIONS have had groups like: Roger and the Wraybands, The Surge, The Madeira, The Volcanos among the local favorites. We want to continue having great regional talent appear as well but because MAHOGANY'S is a small capacity family owned establishment, we intend to keep it as a home base for "fans" of surf in the area. These show's happen at 8 to 8:30 right after the
WAIF 88.3 ROCKIN' & SURFIN" SHOW (6-8 each Saturday) and streaming
here.
We hope to get an area fan and festival base going here not unlike the Blues Society (that Don had a part in).
