Everybody liked it a lot! Great great musicians! Fantastic guitar work! I also loved JonPaul watching and hearing bass playing! Perfect for my ears! Lorenzo: Perfect surf drumming! Sounded like Ghoulash in a big wave. Very good! The arrangements are more than regular Surf music. What I like a lot in the band is the humour on stage. Great funny showmanship by Dave for sure!!! Very nice days here in Berlin. Thanks for coming!!!!! ...one question: Where is the Jazzmaster? ralf do you mean the splendid white jazzmaster? i don't know what you talking about... — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top
JONPAUL Joined: Apr 29, 2010 Posts: 2460 Venice, CA	Posted on Jul 15 2013 02:48 PM Having a mellow day off in Milano today. Walking around and gasping at the grandeur of the duomo. Having dinner at the Milwaukee 50's Diner! The show in Ulm was one of the very best on the whole tour! It was so wonderful to see all of the guys from The Space Rangers again in person and have a chance to experience their home base! Just about a week remaining. Starting to get sad that it has to end. Hoping to catch up on the blog tonight if we get back to the hotel at a reasonable hour! And, once again, I cannot express how great the world Surf family is--everywhere!!! We're all very fortunate to know one another! — Insect Surfers The Tikiyaki Orchestra The Scimitars Lords Of Atlantis Fiberglass Jungle - Surf Radio Top

Perfect sound and high energy performance, really great written and well played songs ("orion canyon" is my new favourite)... and it was great to see this guys after 3 years again... btw, the new album is fantastic. You are awesome!!! Last edited: Jul 16, 2013 13:01:24 Top
JONPAUL Joined: Apr 29, 2010 Posts: 2460 Venice, CA	Posted on Jul 19 2013 07:55 AM Things are definitely winding down a bit. We just arrived to the beaches of the Adriatic Sea, where we finally have a chance for a breather and to rest and enjoy the sun, surf and sand! It's crazy hot, but there's a nice breeze coming off the sea. We've had a string of long driving days, so the fresh air is truly welcome.

Don't come back. Its terrible here. All the food is gross. The weather is shite. The traffic is soul crushing. The surf music crowds are smaller and less energetic. Disclaimer: The above statements are not made in jest. I'm serious. I miss Europe! But if you do come back, bring me some Cuban rum from Duty Free (something I totally forgot to do) ;) Oh, and update your blog, slacker! Top
JONPAUL Joined: Apr 29, 2010 Posts: 2460 Venice, CA	Posted on Jul 23 2013 07:30 PM Well, we're back home and recuperating from our incredible journey across Western Europe! It'll take some time to fully digest all of our amazing experiences, but a few initial SG101 related thanks are definitely in order right away!!! Ginormous thanks and praise to Dave Arnson for having me be a part of such a wonderful music-making experience! I am truly proud to be an Insect Surfer and to have brought such a unique sound to Europe for the first time. Major kudos and thanks to Bernard Yin for being the consummate professional, learning so much material in such a short time and sharing so much tour wisdom with the rest of us newbies! It couldn't have possibly been as great without you! And really, the biggest thanks must go to The International Ambassador of Surf, Mr. Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini himself, without whom none of this could've happened in the first place! Deep thanks for having us over for the festival, for arranging the tour and for putting in an absolutely stellar job on the drums! We are all eternally grateful! A HUGE shout out to those of the SG101/International Surf family that made it to a show, hung out and/or bands we were so very fortunate to play with!

simoncoil Joined: Sep 28, 2012 Posts: 897 Berlin, Germany	Posted on Jul 24 2013 03:34 AM I'll say it one more time: It was so much fun having you guys play over here. Honestly, the day after the Bassy concert I was at a party with that friend of mine and we literally forced everybody there to listen to "Vaquita" on Spotify. And we copied all of Dave's dancing moves. Now get some rest, and then finish that blog! — Los Apollos - cinematic surf music trio (Berlin) "Postcards from the Scrapyard" Vol. 1, 2 & 3 NOW available on various platforms!

Obviously keeping up with the blog in real time was virtually impossible, but my plan is to catch up with it anyways once I have time-- Hopefully as soon as possible once I get through a couple of immediate pressing deadlines. No, we didn't see FFC live, but were fortunate enough to have Senor J and Matto present at the Kinky Star show in Ghent!
