Are you folks finding any increased interest in surf bands in your areas? The Royal Aces in Denver have an unusually packed gig schedule coming up for this summer...and we're not even good-looking or hip.

Just played three weekends in a row- all money makers too. (Except for the Surf Museum- a freebie, but we sold CDs very well!) Also picked up more gigs by playing those gigs- also paid! Private-for-hire functions. — |

We have 3 lined up for July/Aug with the expectation of a couple of more. All 3 are outdoor festivals, which we much prefer in the summer to sweaty clubs. Rev —Canadian Surf |

Hot Rod show mid June with pinup girl competition right on stage while we play. July brings an outdoor festival and hopefully surf fest in August. Hopefully more! —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

Last year we did lots of carshows and rockabilly meetings. This year mostly mainstream festivals! Not more gigs, but larger audiences (we hope), more money (we wish) and cooler beer (we want) www.alohasluts.com |

We've got a few great gigs booked for the summer, and a few more in the works. https://www.facebook.com/coffindagger Last edited: May 27, 2016 12:31:42 |

We may actually have our first show! We just started playing together. We only found a rhythm guitar player a week ago... It's kind of nice to have a deadline this early in the band. — |

That's great, keep us posted! Our gig schedule for the summer is not so great but also fantastic. Not so great: We have no local gigs at the moment. Family and work schedules are prohibitive at the moment, so we're recording, forward momentum. Surf music getting more popular - I think it is. We have a few new bands in Nashville, younger folks as well so there's a new audience. Whether or not this audience accepts us older guys remains to be seen but it's a good thing to have more Surf bands in your home town. Cheers, http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

I'd say Ivan is in the lead at this point! I also forgot that I have two gigs with Killers from Space this summer. —Paul |

Very enjoyable responses to read, everyone. For the Royal Aces, after playing at one Denver venue a few weeks ago, the manager called and asked if we would play there every Saturday in July...and that was in addition to an already busy gig schedule. We'll need a lot of naps, but it'll be a great way to spend a summer, and clearly a lot of you will be having the same kind of fun. |

Three gigs next week, and three more later in the summer. We played last night at our town's annual festival:

Trying to find gigs, but emails go unreturned. 
(One other Madeira gig in late September, just past the summer cut-off, and potentially another one or two - also, one definite Troubadours gig (a private party), and potentially one public one.)
