Well, for US it's certainly a record. For the Denver Beer Company's block party on Oct. 11, we played from 3 to 9 pm (six sets), with the usual brief set breaks after each set. We had enough material, and the pay was very nice, but we wondered what it was going to be like physically. Interestingly, since the crowd was huge, boisterous, and very positive in their reactions to a surf band, each set seemed to go by more quickly and easily...and I made sure to keep the water going, and to sit during every break. Turned out fine, although there was some pretty solid napping on Saturday.

Holy moly, 6hrs of surf music and still a non affiliated audience? Sounds like a perfect day. Congratulations. — |

That's the way we're looking back at it, Sancho: a perfect day. Outdoors, nice stage, pounding out surf/instro at a good, strong volume level, with hundreds of hip customers who are rocking out happily to all the tunes. We couldn't have asked for a better day! |

Actually, about 70...but it felt like 10,000. |

Thanks for asking, Noel. So far, the only one we've found is one of those little Vine videos someone posted online. We're playing one of our originals, "Malibu". |

Give this one a shot, Noel. You have to scroll down the page to find the one titled something like Jam at Denver Beer Co Royal Aces... Last edited: Oct 22, 2013 09:19:39 |

Yes, that's what those little Vine videos do - they only run for about 10 seconds. We're hoping that other videos from that gig will pop up somewhere... |
