having multiple personalities sometimes works in my favor!!

permits me to be, as they say, in (at least) 'two places at once' !!

octo-men a great band:love ralph's red rider jazz-masters where did you get them red pick up cover:man, i have never seen those things before very cool.........

Thank you Tim. I couldn't find any red pickup covers so I bought a can of red krylon and painted the covers, knobs and trem cap. I wouldn't have touched it if it were an AVRI, mine is a CIJ. I really love this thing and the neck is fantastic!

I am on the other side of another great SURF-ROCK SHINDIG last night at OTTO'S SHRUNKEN HEAD

really mixed it up, with 4 different takes on instrumental 'surf'

first up, THE CHILLERS from New Jersey, who mix garage, and bar-band rock into their surf set;

here they are performing HANG TEN FROM AVALON, one of 4 videos I shot last night:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpKQa_GfbPo

second up, the MATT RAE TRIO from Connecticut and dare I say it, Wappingers NY; here is band that slips some soft jazz, a splash of blues, alt-country, into their surf music set

this video has captured them performing BIG JIM'S BOOGIE:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsTBMVXdovM

the third band, local fave-raves THE COFFIN DAGGERS, put on a wonderful shot; this band like to lean heavily into the 'dark side' of surf, as witnessed here in the video I took of them performing BREAKING TIDE:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPW91MfXxQc

things concluded with another New Jersey band, BLUE WAVE THEORY, whose take on surf is peppered with prog-rock references; but here's a fairly straight ahead trad take on SLEIGH RIDE:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk8DZ6JO6Ro

thanks to all the artists, the wonderful staff at OTTO's, and all the fans who came out on a brisk night to fill the room -- old, loyal, returning, and new!!!!

you don't have to go to the ocean to hear the surf, you just to go to one of my SURF-ROCK SHINDIGS!!

Thanks for recording and posting the excellent video of our performance at last weekend's Shindig! Your cinematography skills are fantastic!

Blue Wave Theory
Cool

it was real cool when you guys broke into that XMAS classic, I gotta tell ya

my little CANON camera is really amazing

I am having a blast doing these videos

trying to get as close to the action as I can

thus giving the viewer an opportunity to come pretty close to see and feel what I am experiencing

truly great show you put on,

UNSTEADY FREDDIE

http://www.facebook.com/unsteady.freddie

not sure if everyone is aware of this, but MISTER NEUTRON has decided to call it quits

this has been posted in other places in the last day or 2

but note: their last show I am honored to announce will be at the next SURF-ROCK SHINDIG on January 3 2009, which also happens to be my yearly Birthday Shindig extravaganza......starts at 6 pm, last band is Midnight....and as already announced, that last band is VIVISECTORS' GULAG TUNES

so it's turning into a special night

hope some of you West Coasters might want to consider a trip East for this one!!

SURF-ROCK SHINDIGs at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD are booked through February 2009

I am starting to fill in shows all the way to June 2009

remember---the shows are every first Saturday of the month; in 2009, shows will start at 9 pm instead of 10 pm, and the 4th band will go on at Midnight instead of 1 am

so check a calendar and let me know if U wanna jump in for any of the months March thru June 2009

write me off-line, schizofredric@yahoo.com

cmon and safari with me,

I have gotten the go-ahead to put on a special START-OF-SUMMER SURF-
ROCK SHINDIG at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD, 538 E 14 St., NYC

The date: JUNE 20 2009

Start time: 7 pm

OPEN CALL FOR 6 BANDS

ONE BAND ON THE TOP OF THE HOUR, EVERY HOUR

45 MINUTE SETS

LAST BAND GOES ON AT MIDNIGHT

any interest?

then write to me at:
schizofredric@yahoo.com

I suspect this will fill fast, no one was given any advance notice,
so first come, first 'surfed' (ouch, couldn't help that!!)

UNSTEADY FREDDIE

P.S. IF YOU ARE SET TO PERFORM IN EITHER THE MAY OR JUNE 2009 SHINDIGs, AND YOU ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN JUNE 20TH, LET ME KNOW...I WILL PUT YOU ON A 'WAIT LIST' SO AS TO GIVE OTHER BANDS A CHANCE TO PLAY A SHINDIG AT OTTO's; I WANT TO FINISH THE LIST OF 6 BANDS THAT ARE COMMITTED 100% BY NEW YEARS EVE, SO IF THERE ARE STILL OPENINGS, THE MAY/JUNE BANDS WILL BE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM ON JUNE 20TH. THE IDEA, OF COURSE, IS TO KEEP ROTATING BANDS, TO KEEP IT FRESH, AND TO ALLOW AS MANY BANDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE MONTHLY FUN

http://www.facebook.com/unsteady.freddie

CHECK OUT THE LINE-UP FOR MAY 2 2009!!
