Great photo, thanks! Although those guys in the background look rather two dimensional!

It was great to see you again Uwe! Thanks for rocking out in the front the entire show! One thing I’m really coming away with from these passed two tours (39 shows) is how much I like the Quilter blocks. I had the chance to use the version 1 Bass Block, a Bassman 100 and a Tone Block 202 in many different situations—varying sized rooms with vastly different acoustics, volumes, and speaker cabs—-and in the end, everything considered, I see absolutely zero reason to tour with a giant, heavy tube amp. Touring this much is an entirely different set of circumstances that have certain practical requirements. Like it or not, weight, portability, consistency, stability, sound-technician convenience, adjustability actually matter. Also, believe it or not, the TONE coming from these things is not a compromise. They actually really do sound GOOD! In a live situation, I never once felt that anything was lacking and that I preferred to use the Bassman 100. If anything, it was the other way around. Several nights when using the Bassman 100, I was too limited in eq adjustability to compensate for the issues of the room and inherent acoustics. Also, FWIW, time and time again, audience members, other musicians and sound techs all commented on how good those heads sound in a live situation. —Insect Surfers |

What a night! So amazing to be back at Darrell’s with our brothers in arms The Boss Martians! They absolutely killed it in true BM high energy style! What an honor to share the stage with such pro veterans, who also happen to be some of the nicest guys anywhere! So great to see so much Seattle surf family representin’—The Delstroyers, The Cosmic Wrays, The Viking Surfers, Tien, and so many more! And..I have to give very special and grateful props to Mark Klebeck of King Of Hawaii, who couldn't make the show but generously made the time and invited us to his coffee and doughnut shop Top Pot for a wonderful hang! If you're ever in Seattle or vicinity, do not hesitate to visit one of these fine establishments! —Insect Surfers Last edited: Jul 10, 2022 18:43:12 |

Last night in Tacoma was truly special! Tim Wilson (Don Wilson’s son) was in the audience right up front and we had a chance to spend some quality time with The Peterson Brothers—the ones making the first serious documentary on The Ventures. This thing has been a true labor of love and is going to be mind-blowing to say the least! Please watch for updates and follow here…..https://www.walkdontrunmovie.com/ —Insect Surfers |

Hey! Sorry for not keeping up on this more frequently. It's been a whirlwind of a busy time, to say the least! Most importantly, sincere THANK YOU to everyone that made the effort to come to a show, purchase merchandise and offer support and encouragement of any kind! The three of us appreciate it more than you can imagine and it goes a LONG way towards keeping the morale and passion of 3 humble surf musicians trying to spread the gospel of true surf music! —Insect Surfers |

You've been a busy bassist. I've been trying to keep up via YouTube posts and all. These bands are lucky to have you. |
