Thanx Jeff, and it are 6 bands, so we are a real festival! And if you feel the need, we have a great couch to crash on! You can share Rumble's pillow and he is even willing to share his Guinnes! —www.alohasluts.com |

I'll be there! Even though I take issue with the idea of not needing a bass player Btw, "Black Django's" is a very Dutch way of writing "Black Djangos" —Surfin’ Europe – Surf gigs in Europe Last edited: Nov 29, 2021 17:46:52 |

Female bass players are really needed... you can't have enough in your band! One of the best bands I ever had the joy to play guitar in! And not only because of the nice two ladies! We even played some surf classics (Pipeline, Misirlou, etc)... And regular Aloha Fest visitors will recognize the location: Sounds Record Store, the best and biggest indie store in the NL! Oh and if you want to guess what song I'm singing.... a surfpunk version of John Denver's 'Leaving on a surfboard'....

Well, the only thing I can advice is getting a booster shot. I think that from feb 1st your last shot has to be less than 6 month old. But 'they' the damn government can chance the rules all the time. Nothing is sure at the moment! We had a lock down shut down a couple of weeks ago, so every thing was GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO! The town even organised a 5 week festival to promote live music in bars and pubs. We were the first band to play (at Haloween_, man the place was so packed.... 2 weeks later, another lock down. Festival over.... We played 4 shows in just 2 weekends after the lockdown was ended and then it was over again. We even lost our rehearsal room, because it couldn't be rented after 17 hrs! Everything you organise is a big risk, I willing to take it for Aloha Fest 5 and we have a 20 year aniversary for the the band. And to be honest, I'm not taking the financial risk, the venue is.... But we always have lots of visitors from all over Europe, with flight tickets, hotel reservations, etc. If you have a good travel insurance, you should be fine! Even the ticket costs we will give back. https://www.facebook.com/alohasIuts/videos/252605913597842 Samurai wrote: — www.alohasluts.com Last edited: Dec 14, 2021 11:49:32 |

Best wishes Jeff/Biktikidude! My (vaccinated) wife caught it from a visiting (vaccinated) friend who had just tested negative. They spent their time together outside only. This is serious stuff! Luckily she only had "normal" flu symptoms for a couple days and seems to have recovered fully, but it is no joke out there. |

Best wishes from me, too! I really wish I could go to Aloha Fest 5, was it was so much fun the last two times I went. But in addition to the pandemic I also have to wrap up a three year project in March, which besides finishing articles and writing reports will also include hosting a conference (which will in all likelyhood only happen online). So I seriously doubt, that I will be able to make the trip, but I'll keep my hopes up till the last moment... —Los Apollos - cinematic surf music trio (Berlin) |

We’ll see. Some countries in Europe close the borders for us again even for the fully vaccinated. Booster shot is not available in Ukraine yet.

Just let me know if you want and can come, I'll put you on the guestlist, so you don't have to worry about tickets not being refundable. When there isn't an alternative date, Grenswerk mostly refunds all tickets. —www.alohasluts.com |
