Planning to get there Saturday with a Ventures guitar and semi-adequate skills for the Rumble Jam! and hang around for Sunday. Major guitar auction here in eastern NC (only 20 miles from my house) on Saturday morning keeps me from showing up Friday. Hope I can get one of those. Or two. Mosrite87 |

I've worked out an arrangement with the Bar Manager to have an open Surf Party Jam here at the Time Out Lounge / Sports Bar at the University Inn, 1301 North Fordham Blvd., Chapel Hill, NC from 2pm to 4pm Saturday May 30th. 9th Wave will provide amps & drums, bring your guitars, bar will be open & be serving my favorite, PBR specials! Fans, friends & musicians, y'all come on down & have some fun! From the Surf Side, Mike PS: call me if you have any questions or get lost, on my cell at 860-428-4638 — |

Hope I get there in time for that Surf Party Jam, but guitar auction down here in "little Washington" could run for 6 hours. Guess I'll just have to win a bid early and get on my way soon as I can! |

Wow! What an opening night Big Ups, Crispy !!! All your hard work and countless hours is paying off big time. Thank You! And a Big Thanks to all the bands traveling from all four corners to play the summit! Clearly, without y'all, this is a non event. Real nice to see several SG101'ers again. Great to see/meet many others for the first of hopefully may times to come. Anyone who has ever been knows the Cave is not a big place, but it is cozy and friendly. Makes for a real intimate evening among pals - and if anyone isn't a pal when you get there, chances are good they will be by the end of the night. The bands were great, music amazing, and the people - well... the best. You may have seen Crispy's zany idea to help send sponsors Flip Video out with a bang by having anyone/everyone in the crowd film the Space Rangers 4th song - which I, along with many others obliged. I think Crispy is gonna try to make some sort of video collage of it. There were a few filming much of the evening, including the house video, which I know Crispy is working to make available to the bands (minimum) to do what they wish with it, and hopefully more broadly as part of the event. I didn't get video footage other than the Rangers song #4 myself. Sorry for that to those who couldn't be there. I know how much I enjoy seeing film of shows from all other areas. I did, however, make it a point to get a few snaps of every band. Hope'd to get some PotD quality, but someone with a "real" camera (not my point-and-shoot) will prolly have to help there. Anywho, enough jibber-jabber from this happy boy. Here's a shot from each of the first night bands. Each band really brought it last night. Night Two bands - Bring your "A Game"! These first night guys (and gal!) really set the Summit off right. Jack Maverick & His Wild Rebels

Awesome wrap up, Fady. It was great to meet some folks in person and listen to all these amazing bands! I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to last the whole evening (knowing my 18-month-old was going to wake me up at 6am). But, I had a great time while I was there. See some of y'all again tonight!

I've got to agree with Brian--everybody really stepped up to the Aqualad level of ass-kicking last night. It was great to see the Mystery Men?, The Krektones and 9th Wave kick it up...well, a bunch of notches from last year, and they were all pretty darned great last year to begin with. It's great to see bands feed off each others enthusiasm for the art. I had a nice, if brief, time with the Space Rangers yesterday, taking them to WUNC to play in the studio, where I introduced them to the magic of a Fender Bronco played through a Tube Reverb Unit ("It's so small--and it's all tube?"), And my Ampeg B-15 ("Sell it to me--now!"). I also got to get them--and the Yankee folk in 9th Wave--a proper taste of Southern Cooking at Bullock's Barbecue. They loved the fried chicken, and were fascinated by the Eastern Carolina Barbecue ("looks like tunafish--but it's not--not at all!"). And every one of them came up to me after the Aqualads blazing set with a huge smile and two thumbs up. I'm sorry they had to leave early, but they hinted that they were very up for the idea of coming back next year. Tonight should reach a massive level of rockin' insanity, between Daikaiju, The Coffin Daggers, Noseriders, and the Atomic Mosquitos, not to mention all the contests and jams going on with Phatlynx tonight. Friday was great, but I think it will be topped! --Crispy |

Well, well, well. Another night to behold @ the Instro Summit. Once again, a H U G E thanks to all the bands traveling from New York to Alabama and lots of places in between! Really super to see folks giving so much to make this happen. Quite a treat! To borrow Crispy's words... "From A to Z." Kicked off by a great "Trad" set of dedications and tributes by the original line up of The X-Rays playing as The Surge! to the mega psycho Kabuki theater shredding of Daikaiju and everything in between - and I do mean ~ e v e r y t h i n g. ~ It was a night like no other, to be sure. Special Thanks to Mr. Eddie Katcher for providing the super sounding, eye-poping, jaw dropping back line for the night! Gonna start calling you the Milkman... cause you always deliver. Got to meet more SG101'ers I'd not met before, saw some familiar folks who'd not been able to make Friday, and I had the immense pleasure of a 2nd night out with some of the nicest people around - a crew of supper supportive SG101 community stand outs who made Friday night and last night too. Big shout out to "mom_surfing" who threw down with Crispy and the boys on the Play as Wack as Link Wray / I'm Branded solo contest - the only one to have the courage to get up there and do it. Rocked it Big Time ( ! ) and won a very well deserved suitcase chock full of swag from all the bands and more. You go Grrrrl!!! No new records for the rumble jam, and strangely no takers a'tall for the Bass-off... Anywho - One more night to go and more greatly anticipated bands still to play. Prolly gonna need a nap today to make it to the end, but I'll be there. What a great weekend this is proving to be! The Surge! Bu Hao Ting

Sunday night was another Instro-crazed night in Chapel Hill and another lineup from Alabama to New York. It's amazing that so many people & bands came from so far away to make this happen all 3 nights. Lots of great song choices and mix of flavors for the evening. The night began with some smooth cuts and warm sounds from the first 3 bands, and closed with a well planned high-octane final 3 to send Instro Summit 2011 out with a bang! Hats off to you, Crispy - 2011 was another great year for Summit!! I'm sure that as all the travelers (bands and attendees) get back to their home towns, settle back into their week that they will chime in with their experiences and highlights. In the mean time, I'll wrap with the final set of pictures I took Sunday night. Killer Filler The Third Expression The Monterreys The High Five Revival Blood Red River Kill Baby...Kill!

We finally made it back into good ol Alabama a short time ago. What a great weekend. We started it with a wonderful show in Atlanta. Then, we followed it up by playing a house show at at the residence of Mark Kuhn from Voodoo Court in Asheville. Then, we topped the weekend off with an insane night of music in Chapel Hill. I swear, Sunday's Instro Summit was filled with some amazing bands and we could not feel more honered to have been a part of it. It was great meeting everyone at the show and we have to send a personal thankyou out to Crispy. He really out did himself. —THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.
