KFJC Radio presents the Fourth KFJC Battle of the Surfin' Bands. Organized by the bands to thank KFJC for it's continued support of obscure genres like surf music, this is also a celebration of live music and a gathering of fans to check out new talent, and old favorites. While some of the bands have been playing for longer than a decade, toured extensively and have multiple releases, a full half of the bands on this year's bill were formed within the last two years, confirming surf music's ongoing popularity. Each band gets a 15 minute set to show off their finest material and distinct sound, and any band that makes a memorable impact on the audience is a winner at this battle.
