I was in San Diego last weekend and saw an article about the swami in the local free weekly: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2015/feb/04/lists-swamis-new-trip/ If you're thinking of going to the Casbah show in SD on Sun, I'd suggest getting advance tix. Yeah, SOS (Sold Out Surf) is pretty LOL, but John is a local boy and his past bands (Rocket from the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu) are VERY popular in SD. Earthless (who I saw last Sat at the Casbah) was SOLD OUT. And ironically, their drummer (Mario R) was in those past bands w/John. Earthless another local band made good, tho more in the stoner/psych/jam mode (but INSTRUMENTAL!!). |

Thanks Jeff! Now that was a fun show to be a part of! It was so great that Jonpaul, Warren, Jeff and his girlfriend made the trek south to make the show. It was also great to see Nick (Sofa_King) again. Thanks so much guys! That was our first show in a while (since summer of last year). So a sold out show at the Casbah was a good fying pan to get thrown into! As far as Swami John Reis and the Blind Shake go, I was literally blown away by their set. They absolutely killed. I have not seen so much raw power in a surf set in a very long time, if ever actually. The songs are great. Really great. And the Downstroke Overlord was in full effect playing a really cool custom guitar from Madrid guitars. It was also great to see John unleash a blackface Showman + matching reverb tank. His sound was beyond huge. The band that John chose for this project could not have been selected any better. The Blind Shake are such a great band and I have been digging their other records immensely. I highly recommend their latest, Breakfast of Failures. I was basically pinned next to Jim Blaha, guitar player for The Blind Shake, the entire show. His on-stage energy is truly infectious. He is a wizard of sound. He went back and forth from a Telecaster to a Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. The icing on the cake of the band though was the sax player. He really added a dimension of primal raw surf tradition to the sound of the band. Overall, the set was truly inspirational. John Reis has struck gold for the fourth time with this project. I picked up Modern Surf Classics on vinyl at the show. It will sit alongside my Drive Like Jehu Bullet Train to Vegas 7"
