This tour sees the band delivering a brand new release - a 5 track CD-EP called "Ruins". Here is the scoop on this hot slab of digital goodness...

The Madeira - Ruins CD-EP

Hot on the heels of their debut full-length CD comes a great new 5 song CD-EP by The Madeira. Released just in time for their 2006 West Coast tour, this disc features covers of songs by Dick Dale, The Treble Spankers, Paco de Lucia and The Surf Coasters, but done in a way that sounds 100% like The Madeira! Pick this up from the band on their West Coast tour, or pre-order through Double Crown (ships August 1st).

"Turn the knob to 10 and break it off!" -Baja Marty

Yeah, the Whistle Stop show just plain rocked. Even without the humidity I was still wet in the pants by the end of the night. I had gotten my singer to come out see what the music behind the influence of our band was all about. Last night was great display.

But I was left waiting to see the Soul Train dancers materialize from the graphic on the wall...

Great show and enjoyed meeting Jeff - BigTikiDude and seeing Kristena again.

-Redd Tyde

First off, Pitcher House show last night was great, eventhough it was a swealtering hotbox. Tons of people, possibly many lurkers, intently watching the show. All bands were great--Madeira kicked off the show in high gear, then the Insect Surfers followed up (after their 20th anniversary show last week), and Slacktone played a ripping set, eventhough it was cut short at a half an hour.

Today at the museum, Glasgow Tiki Shakers played one of the best sets I've ever seen and the Madeira followed up with an hour and 20min. blistering set. Both bands did a great job, despite the heat. The Madeira dedicated the 3 Dick Dale songs(Nightriddin' The Victor, and Taco Wagon)
to John Blair, who was in attendance for the rare west coast appearance of the Madeira.

After the meet and greet with all of the fans and record-setting merch sales, the band followed me to my place for BBQ and exotica tunes on the stereo while we chatted, and Drank great Mai Tais made by Kristena. Kristena will post the picture below: of Ivan testing out Ran's reverb tank on my crappy Kramer guitar in my living room. They were grateful for time to relax and hang out after 3 days of road travel, hectic playing schedules, and heat.

Three shows down, two more to go for me!

will do Brian, still bummed your not out here, but you have seen them already so it's not quite the end of the world, as if I was missing them out here. Although I'm sure you would have dug the hell out of the show with Insect Surfers and Slacktone last night.

Not to take anything away from any of the other excellent bands, in my view this was hands down the best band I have ever seen play in the surf instro style. I was hooked within the first five notes. This band is tight. Ivan is second to no one on the guitar, DD included. He can only be described as a virtuoso. An amazing talent.

Patrick on rhythm is superb. His style reminded me of The Shadows.

Maderia lived up to the hype & are an absolute must see. They deserve to be proud of their music

a bit of cross forum reviewing here. I was asked to do a review on cowabunga so here is the link to the review there.

Hope Brian doen't get mad I posted the link to this thread, I thought we want surf fans here, and cowabunga seems to have some that don't know about sg101 yet. Forgive me for my bad if you didn't want that.
