Hello gang--

Just wanted to give y'all a heads up on an upcoming show featuring NOKIE EDWARDS of the Ventures, along with my tribute band VENTURESMANIA and many more special guests!

Venturesmania (myself, Garrett Immel of the Ghastly Ones, Mel Bergman of the Phantom Surfers/Go-Nuts, and Chris Sprague of the Sprague Bros/Go-Nuts/etc.) have recorded a great new album with Nokie Edwards, entitled "BOUND AND SIDEJACKED AGAIN!"  We're proud to say that it sounds like a great unreleased 1965 Ventures album, and if you dig the 1960's Ventures sound, you will love this new album.

The CD release party (and your first opportunity to buy this great new CD) will be Dec. 3rd at Joe's Great American Bar and Grill in Burbank, CA.  The show will get started around 9 pm, admission is $15.  No advance ticket sales.

Come see a genuine legend up close and personal!  A great night of guitar instrumental rock and roll!

Ellie and I are pleased with these five new tunes, which should be played loud and with beverage in hand.  We hope you enjoy.

Josh Hickman's new solo CD "This House Is Haunted!" is now available! Harkening back to the kids' Halloween records of the 1960's-70's, it features music, stories, madness, and mayhem! Email thenoblegasses@gmail.com for a FREE advance copy! AND The Noble Gasses will appear and give away copies of the CD on October 28 at Captured Aural Phantasy Theater's Panorama Of Horrors Spook Show at the L.A. landmark old Union Theater, now the Velaslavasay Panorama Theater!

As announced at the SG101 Convention this summer, Surfer Joe will open a bar & diner in Livorno, Italy, dedicated to surf music and fun. The location is on the sea, Terrazza Mascagni for those of you who had the opportunity to come to Livorno before and have visited the town. We have been working extremely hard for more than 6 months to get this location that we consider very cool and unique.

Tune in to the Shrunken Head Lounge this Sunday Oct 9 8-9pm for a cool new show.
