Capital City Surf Clash 2 Date and Lineup!

Proud to announce this year's lineup for the Capital City Surf Clash!

We were wondering how are we going to equal last years event, but I think we did it. No beating around the bush, this years event we are bringing you:

Slacktone
The Pyronauts
The Me Gustas
Surf Monster

A four band bill that will satiate even the most reverb hungry fan of the surf/instrumental genre. What can we say about Slacktone that hasn't been said before. Formed in 1995, this band houses three individuals that should not be in the same band. That is too much talent for one group! Ha. Members, Dave Wronski, Dusty Watson and Sam Bolle bring you what is arguably THE modern surf band. Energetic, tight tunes that'll have your ear holes ringing with delight.

Hailing from Nor Cal and joining us for this years edition, The Pyronauts. This was the band that made us realize, hey, we can be ourselves and play surf/instrumental tunes?! You never know what you are going to get with these guys. Stage outfits and antics is par for the course, but it is the incredible playing that'll draw you in.

Opening this years event, Surf Monster, coming to you from San Francisco. These guys know how to put a show on and will have the crowd swaying and moving with original tunes and their take on tunes we all know.

We will get an advance ticket link up asap, you do not want to miss this years event. Now, make sure to put this on the calendar and we will see you at THE Sacramento surf/instro event of the year!

Reverb, set, Capital City Surf Clash!!
