The TomorrowMen signed to Double Crown Records

The TomorrowMen and Sean Berry, of Double Crown Records, are pleased to announce that we've entered into an agreement for our upcoming album, "It's About Time!", will be Double Crown's newest release! We've almost finished mixing the songs and are hoping to have the discs in our hands before the KFJC SF Bay Area Battle of the Surf Bands this May 14. We are extremely proud to be on a label that includes so many incredible bands, including two of my favorites The Madeira and The Kilaueas. The album is produced by Ferenc Dobronyi and he's done an amazing job. Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to release date.

The Lava Pups is a collaborative effort created out of our love for surf and rock instrumental music and desire to have fun.  Our debut CD shows the influences of Dick Dale, Link Wray, Duane Eddy and Paul Johnson. The songs range from in-your-face double-picked, glissando-ladened garage surf like "Sea Witch" to the sweetly dissonant ballad "Pacifica Blue."

Please Donate to the Victor Vector Fund

Victor Vector, aka Jonny Shamen, came down with a severe case of pneumonia right after the Man or Astro-Man? tour wrapped up. He's been in the hospital for over a week now. As with most working musicians, he has no health insurance. In addition, he has a wife and young child. His family could really use some help. Please take a moment and send a few bucks his way. Thank you!

The Break with Martin Cilia, 1st April 2011

The Break & Martin CiliaTHE BREAK
A Double Dose Of Pounding Surf
with Martin Cilia (The Atlantics)
Manly Fisho’s – Friday, 1st April, 2011

When the three remaining members of Midnight Oil formed Australia’s most exciting new surf band last year with Violent Femmes bass player Brian Ritchie, their first club date was at a packed-out Manly Fisho’s. The guys returned in November for sold out shows with mates The Hoodoo Gurus. With Fisho’s set to close its doors any day now, fans have one final chance to catch The Break’s incredible live performance at the venue. The Break have been busy touring their strange and wonderful brand of interplanetary surf since the April release of their hugely acclaimed debut album ‘Church of the Open Sky’.  With stand-out performances at major festivals across Australia, including Byron and Woodford and a now legendary appearance closing ABC’s Spicks and Specks, The Break is fully amped and ready to party. The band will be available for meet and greet/signings after the show.


The Manly show offers a double helping of surf with a bill that includes The Atlantics’  surf rock guitarist Martin Cilia, whose live set will feature fellow Atlantics Michael Smith and Jeff Cripps and will include classic favourites like ‘Bombora’ as well as tunes from Cilia’s solo surf guitar albums.


Kicking off the evening will be Central Coast singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Moldre whose swag of catchy indie pop songs are perfectly embellished by the impressive skills of percussionist Adam Lang on suitcase drums, lap steel and banjo. 

 
Tickets for this show are priced at $20 + b/f in advance and $25 on the door.
Pre-booking strongly recommended at www.moshtix.com.au,
300 GET TIX (438 849) mobile www.moshtix.mobi and all moshtix outlets

Radio show seeks music to air

Aloha, all.

I am looking for promo CDs of surf music bands to air on my "Island Time" radio show.  If you would like to send me anything, here's my address:

P.O. Box 1269, Kilauea, Hawaii 96754.

My show originated on KMXT public radio in October, 2000, and is about to be revived there. I frankly was unaware of how many bands are producing great music in the old style, and I would like to air your music to the "Island Time" mix.

Thanks!
