WhorehayRFB Joined: Jun 12, 2008 Posts: 3331 Huntington Beach, CA	Posted on May 06 2009 01:27 PM January 1994, Dick Dale with the Eliminators at the Coachhouse, San Juan Capistrano. Took my bro-in-law (20 years my senior) for his birthday & I knew he dug surf. I was the only person there under the age of 40 who wasn't employed by the venue, I think. — Radio Free Bakersfield--60 Minutes of TWANG, CRUNCH, OOMPH. http://radiofreebakersfield.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Radio-Free-Bakersfield/172410279636 http://www.sandiegojoe.com/rfb.htm Top

JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on May 06 2009 01:47 PM Did you get a chance to catch the Surf Coasters in Vancouver in 2005? In my opinion that was the best show that I ever saw them play. I forget the name of the club. It was an Australia/New Zealand club. Great audience and great set despite gear issues. Top

pyrobob Joined: Apr 27, 2006 Posts: 251 Auburn, CA	Posted on May 06 2009 04:35 PM I saw Dick Dale open for the Beach Boys at Kanocti Harbor in Clearlake, CA in "98 (I think). I walked by Dick out on the street but was too afraid to approach him... After that, the Hypnotic IV were my 1st introduction to a surf music scene that still existed outside the 60's & Satan's Pilgrims. Bob Top
verbaddict Joined: Feb 14, 2007 Posts: 47	Posted on May 06 2009 04:46 PM The Space Cossacks @ galaxy hut in Arlington VA. I was at first annoyed that a band was setting up in such a small bar, it's like 50 seats tops. Once they started playing I was amazed at the talent and the style of music. Until that point I really did not realize that other people in my age group liked surf music. Top

insectsurfer Joined: Mar 22, 2006 Posts: 363 Los Angeles	Posted on May 07 2009 11:30 AM My 1st surf show, uhh, besides us by ourselves, was playing with 'The Raybeats' in NYC at a club called 'Hurrah!s' in 1980. Very jazzy surf! Leader/bassist George Scott had never heard of Davie Allan and i was gonna make a tape for him, but he sadly OD'd soon after (to be replaced by Danny Amis ,current Los Straitjacket). We opened up for The Ventures in 1982 ,in Wash, DC, that was great, and the next year they played @ the Washington Monument w/ the Beach Boys! "yes,hope for America', I thought!! Top
