Our move to Indy is rapidly approaching and I figured that now would be a good time to start seeking out surf fans/musicians in the area. We should be moved into our new house (about a mile west of Garfield Park) and fairly settled by the middle of July and I'd love to find some folks with similar interests to play and talk about music with, hit the local guitar shops with, etc.
I've been playing guitar for just over 20 years (surf/instro exclusively since '95), but I still hesitate to call myself a "musician" - "guitar player" seems more appropriate. I'm open to anything from casual jamming with another person to playing with a band, provided most gigs are local due to work and family and day-job obligations.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in I can be reached via e-mail at: midwestsurfer@live.com or through a PM here. I'd love to start communicating with some other surf fans in or near Indy soon!

Well, it was great to meet and talk with Curtis (Doctor_Morbius) this weekend. We know practically no one in our new hometown, so it's awesome that the first person we met is a fellow surf/instro fan, a Fender enthusiast AND one hell of nice guy!
If there's anyone else in or around Indy who'd be interested in getting together be sure to get in touch with me - I know well that surf fans are few and far between, but I'd sure like to find as many as possible!

Hello! My name is Tim and I live in Cincinnati....not too close but still within driving distance. I'm a very big fan of surf and all things reverb. I just checked out a band from here called the Ampfibians, and the guitarist hipped me to some kind of surf fest going on in Oxford Ohio, which is northwest of Cinci and not too far off from you. Not sure when it is, but you might check them out on reverbnation. I too moved here from somewhere else.....in my case, I came here from California. So, in order to deal with this midwest weather, I reside in my virtual reverb tank.
Anyhow, welcome to hell.....I mean the midwest!

I'm on the Indiana side of Louisville. Today I took my electric bass to a local shop to get the action adjusted & the neck checked for adjustment. I start lessons in early January '13. Maybe I can join you guys someplace next year and jam.
