I have uploaded a series of videos from the Unsteady/Wood Beach Ball held at The Delancey on November 7 2010, which was a benefit for Ottos Shrunken Head our favorite tiki bar that had recent severe fire damage. These videos capture the fun spirit of the evening, for sure!
First up was, THE OCTOMEN. Here is a video of the band, led by Rattlesnake Ralph, performing with the featured dancers, The Alien Surfer Babes. The song is appropriately called, ALIEN SURFER BABES. This is the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXk-TxMtRpo
Second band to perform were The TarantinosNYC. I have 2 videos by this great local band. One is an original, called, POSITRACTION {direct link = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zaft5jVmvLM}. The second one is the LINK WRAY classic, ACE OF SPADES. The Alien Surfer Babes joined The TarantinosNYC for this number. Link = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MydjxlT4M5Q
Third band to hit the stage were THE COFFIN DAGGERS, and did they deliver!! Here are 4 videos by this killer sci-fi/spy/fuzz/psychedelic surf band:

THE HEINOUS MR. HYDE

Last but not least, the epitome of unsteady EL MUCHACHO!! Joined on stage by burlesque dancer Brooklynbaby Doll, they had the crowd, as usual, dancing and rocking. Check them out performing 2 tunes: BANGALORE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRlH2Rza4z0, and the trad surf gem, MR. MOTO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfzfNC9uAi8, in their inimitable style.
A SPLENDID TIME WAS GUARANTEED FOR ALL.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the cause and have a fun time. Shout-out to Frank Wood for moving the show to THE DELANCEY so as to keep the show alive, and, in turn, make it a benefit for OTTOs.
