UNSTEADY FREDDIE
Unsteady Freddie, known as "The Ed Sullivan of Surf", is a passionate cheerleader for the instrumnental surf-beat music genre. This is due to his wildly popular Monthly SURF-ROCK SHINDIG concert series which he has been running successfully at a tiki bar in NYC called OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD, plus his internet radio show, TWANG SHEBANG. He also archives a lot of live music events, which can be viewed at his YouTube Channel, http://www.youtube.com/unsteadyfreddie.

LOS POCOS LOCOS
Los Pocos Locos are a surf rock band from Long Branch, NJ. Their music ranges from the mellow, classic California surf sound to the extreme heavy , tremolo picking of Dick Dale. Mix in a little mariachi Mexican madness, and you have Los Pocos Locos.

BONGO SURF
Bongo Surf is a band based in New Jersey. They like their surf primarily in the genre's "first wave" - a/k/a "traditional", or "trad" surf. This essentially means their live performances are peppered with wonderful instro surf-beat tunes from the early 1960's.

THE GREAT WHITE CAPS
Epic surf rock, skewed with a punk rock sensibility that creates an experience akin to a “science fiction super hero skinny dipping in the ocean.” The band is from "Beach Rock from Dutch Country" a/k/a Bethlehem PA.

Needless to say I am very excited about this show. Can use help in getting the word out. Being that it is a Sunday night, I've set it up with The Saint so that the music will finish not too late (10:00 pm or thereabouts)
SURF MUSIC back at the JERSEY SHORE!!
CHEERS,
UNSTEADY FREDDIE
