These two videos were taken at the Nomad Bar in Austin, Texas at the third annual Surf By Surf East Festival. We opened for Boss Jaguars and King Pelican...two great bands that we thouroughly enjoyed watching and dancing to until nearly 2am.

"Journey To The Stars"
"Biometric Data" (by The Irradiates)
"Sultans Of Surf".

That Sultans cover is awesome. What a great choice to do as an instrumental! Your lead guitar player on that song is playing so many tasty licks. Wow!

I also really dig the Ventures cover. Journey To The Stars is a great tune. You nail the lead parts! I don't know that last tune though. I dig it a lot. Its got a great surf punk vibe.

Thanks for the great feedback! It was definitely an experience.

We also have a video of us doing "Sex On Fire" by Kings Of Leon as an instrumental surf song.

Currently doing instrumental versions of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" and Billy Idol's "White Wedding", too.

Wow! Nice all around, but those Dire Straights and Kings of Leon covers are something else.
