STORIES FROM SHAMEHILL PROUDLY PRESENTS 'SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT'

De Ilpendams/Purmerendse surfrockformatie Stories from Shamehill presenteert op zondagmiddag 15 november haar eerste EP "Same same but different" in Pop- & Cultuurpodium P3 in Purmerend.

De EP is onder de bezielende leiding van Pablo van de Poel (zanger/gitarist van Dewolff) compleet analoog opgenomen en gemixt in de Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio in Utrecht.

Na lovende kritieken uit de binnen- en buitenlandse surfmuziekscene, wordt het nu tijd om dit heugelijke feit met de eigen achterban te vieren.

De vier tracks - van eigen hand - worden deze middag door middel van videoclips gepresenteerd. Uiteraard verzorgt de band een live-optreden. Daarnaast wordt de middag muzikaal omlijst door twee (surf) dj's.

Open: 15:00 uur
Aanvang: 15:30 uur
Vrij entree

NSSR is very pleased to announce the addition of the very first female DJ to North Sea Surf Radio. Starting July 18th DJ Mz. Siren will be presenting her weekly show "Surf Shot" which will be broadcast every Saturday at 21:00 CET, after Django Deadman's "Hangnine FM". "Green Cookie Beach" will move one hour back to 22:00 CET.

Mz Siren's time is split between a small fishing town called Hastings on the South East coast of England and her secret lab drifting in space from where she broadcasts Surf Shot. She is the bass player in The Sine Waves and Thee Jezebels.

She also co-promotes The Fratcave with her partner Project X from The Sine Waves, they try to ensure visiting European surf and garage bands stop off at Hastings and entertain the locals at their monthly shindig.

We are pleased to announce that the 8th Annual SurfGuitar101 Convention will be taking place on Saturday, August 8th, 9am to 8pm, at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge in Garden Grove, California! Please note the venue change this year!

Once again we have assembled an amazing lineup and have continued our tradition of hosting international bands. This year we have the incredible King of Fuzz Guitar, Davie Allan, celebrating the 50th year of his musical career! We have two bands from Spain: The Longboards and Els A-phonics (who knocked them dead at the Surfer Joe Festival in June). Also on the bill are California legends The Eliminators, the young and brash traditionalists The Volcanics, and the new hotrod surf band Boss Fink (featuring members of The Ghastly Ones and the Huntington Cads). Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia we have the progressive instrumental band Moonbase. From a time and place unknown we have the sci-fi stylings of The TomorrowMen. And it wouldn’t be a true surf guitar convention without the legendary Paul “Mr. Moto” Johnson of the groundbreaking 60’s band The Belairs. Finally we have an all-star tribute to Jim Messina and The Jesters featuring John Blair (Jon & The Nightriders) and Ivan Pongracic (The Space Cossacks, The Madeira).

Also new this year will be a live broadcast and stream courtesy of KFJC and Cousin Mary! KFJC will be broadcasting on 89.7 FM in the Los Altos Hills area as well as streaming audio and video on the ‘net at kfjc.org!
