Posted on May 31 2008 09:28 AM
coming off a great show last weekend on Sunday May 25th at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD, FRANK WOOD and I have decided we should do this more often....
so we're announcing an ongoing series of shows under the banner of THE UNSTEADY/WOOD 'BEACH BALL'
The next one we have scheduled is AUGUST 31st, the SUNDAY before LABOR DAY. Reminder: these BEACH BALLs are part of Frank's regular SUNDAY series called 'WIND-DOWN SUNDAY'
Like we did on May 25th, we will present 7 instro bands, on the hour, every hour, starting at 6 pm; the last band goes on at Midnight. And Frank's weekly 'SOFA KING "WILDE" JAM' follows, and all surf musicians are welcome to participate
So far, booked for the next BEACH BALL on AUGUST 31st are:
9 pm, MISTER NEUTRON
11 pm, THE SEA DEVILS
that leaves 5 openings
If you and your band wanna play on AUGUST 31st, write me off-line at schizofredric@yahoo.com
I thank FRANK WOOD for being such a great guy and working with me to present these surf-beat showcase extravaganzas. And of course I thank the surf community for its enthusiasm and support; and God Bless OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD (in particular Nell and Steve Pang)

THE RECRUDERS have moved to 7 pm, instead of 6 pm
Thus, I have open, still.....6 pm

any takers?

BUMMER NEWS
just got an e/mail MISTER NEUTRON cannot appear at the AUG 31 'BEACH BALL'
that means:
1) the 9 pm slot is open -- any takers?
2) a new poster will be created once I secure a replacement band
so I am gonna leave the poster up everywhere it is, and update it, when the time comes
any band (surf instro please) is free to appear, even if the band is playing a SURF-ROCK SHINDIG close to that date
write me off-line
