e-mail from Matt Quilter of the Reventlos,

As many of you already know, Victor Vector of the hugely influential Instro group Man or Astroman? has been hospitalized in rough shape, and, as is typical for a lot of musicians, has limited or no health insurance. A benefit concert is to be held tomorrow to help with his expenses. PLEASE make time to attend and assist a great musician!

An incredible line-up is scheduled to perform Sunday, March 27, doors open at noon:

1pm, Bodysnatchers
2pm, Point Doom
3pm, Secret Samurai
4pm, The Reventlos
5pm, The Tequila Worms
6pm, High Tides
7pm, The Insect Surfers

It all takes place at Suzy's in Hermosa Beach. Lots of door prizes, tons of fun for a good cause. See you there! Thanks!!!

wow, cool deal,
thanks Whorehay.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Thanks to all of the bands, and thanks to those who came, and contributed.

We made some pretty good Money for Johnny, aka Victor Vector,
and all that showed up had a great time.

I admit that is was a short notice for Promo time.
But I wanted to strike while the Iron was hot.

Thanks BTD & Bands for another great reverb-drenched day!

Next time I'll try not to win all the raffles Big Razz

Marty's fingers must be sore today after playing in 3 bands.
The Reventlos were amazing again, even without Rick. One day I'll get one of those shirts when they have a Large.
The Champ-sized 200 watt solid state Quilter amp was unbelievable, loud as a Showman, great tone and reverb. It weighs about 5 pounds. It's true. If they become available for sale I will definitely be looking to buy one.

Marty Tippens was indeed the 'busiest man in showbiz', doing triple duty with the bands on Sunday. After rocking a light blue Danelectro longhorn bass w/ the Reventlos (and that's some complex stuff!) he busted out a strat with the allstar band 'High Tide". At the end of their set they were blessed with the surprise appearance of Paul Johnson, and they provided him with one of his best backup bands i've ever heard, doing incandescent versions of Mr. Moto, Apache,Squad Car, and Baja....

HAD A GREAT TIME!!! THANKS TO JEFF FOR PUTTING THIS ON, INSECT SURFERS AND HIGHTIDE DEFF MADE THE NIGHT!! IT WAS GREAT SHARING THE STAGE WITH THOSE GUYS

I shot a few videos and pix. But I had to leave after 2 bands performed b/c I had purchased tickets (long before this Benefit was announced, I'm afraid) to see ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVRES in the DARK in San Diego (they were killer, as when I saw them earlier this month in NYC).

So watch for the videos and pix in the next couple of days. I got a lot of sleep to catch up on

JEFF / BIG TIKI TUDE -- bless U for all you do for this twang-drenched genre!!

I took these pics on my cell phone using some different photo effects. I think the app is called "Vignette". The pics didnt really come out well, but since nobody else is posting pics, I'll post mine.

And my phone/camera died by the time the Insect Surfers got up to play, so no pics of them. Dave was wearing some leather pants, a country shirt, and a leather cowboy hat! Maybe its good I got no pics of it hahaha Big Razz

Again, the pics aren't good quality, and i was mostly just messign around with different effects. Enjoy...
