I am so jealous. This festival looks out of control good. The Madeira, Los Twang Marvels, The Kilaueas, and Pollo under one roof!? Those four alone would blow my little mind! Everyone there needs to take tons of photos and video, and show reports! |

Tim, I don't know who that is! But I'm VERY excited to finally meet Wannes (WR), Rev and Docter Legume in person, as well as see Unsteady Freddy and all the Pollo gang again! There will be a lot of good vibes around this weekend... Have a great trip all who are traveling tomorrow! —Ivan |

Where are you guys staying? Pollo & Madeira. I'm at Hotel Grand Lucca, and need a way from Livorno to the festival for me and my wife. Help. Rev Hank —Canadian Surf |

Skeeter: It is called Faction - they describe it as "The Music Of Action Sports" - but they do a special program on Sunday mornings called "Cowabunga Uber Allies" and it is all surf and related stuff. Pretty neat. And oh yeah.. Go Madeira! |

Here are some photos from the rest of the Madeira tour of Italy (following the Surfer Joe fest). We played another five shows in six nights. I don't have very many photos that would be of general interest. But here are a few good ones.
July 28th, Trieste - an amazing open-air venue right on the Adriatic sea, with a huge stage and a powerful sound system. Probably our second best show of the tour (after our gig at the Surfer Joe fest, which was definitely the highlight). There were probably 120-150 people there (more people came in by the end of the night compared to the photo), which was remarkable given that it was a Tuesday night. And playing in the face of the night seawind, watching the moon disappear into the sea, was an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Unforgettable.
The Wet-Tones from Trieste opened for us. They played a great set, I really loved it! Surprisingly, they didn't play any songs from their fantastic debut CD from a few years ago, and even more surprisingly they sounded more Euro-instro than surf, playing a bunch of Spotnicks tunes and similar, mixing in (I think) three Los Straits covers. Still, they were excellent!
We got a big laugh at this sign (they were 0-for-3!!) outside of the beautiful almost-beach-front club in the resort town of Viareggio, north of Livorno, which seems to usually book cover bands. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bad omen....
Lorenzo's Toyota Corolla which fit five of us, a Twin Reverb, a reverb unit, two Strats and a Jazz bass, a snare drum and kick pedal, a box of merchandise, and a suitcase and a few bags containing the clothes (including the stage clothes) for all of us for three days during which we criss-crossed northern Italy, following Hanibal's route of rape and pillage! (No, not really...) Anyway, a true wonder of Japanese engineering.... (However, Italian drivers are completely crazy...)
A fiesta-red love-fest (from our last show, in Rosignano).
Pure gear porn....
The last supper of our tour. On the left - the Madeira; on the right, the Wadadli Riders, with whom we were fortunate to play the last three shows of our tour.
The Wadadli Riders in Rosignano - it was a Vespa Convention show! Outdoors, on a perfect summer night, with the perfect view of a medieval castle high on a hill right in front of us (see below). What a way to bring to an end an unforgettable ten days.
There you go! —Ivan |
