Sunburn Surf Fest

After a successful start in 2023 it’s time for a new edition of Sunburn Surf Fest!

image

On Saturday, 23 August 2025, the Little Devil in Tilburg (NL) will see another red-hot lineup:

El Ray DK
El Ray really needs no introduction here. Well known for mixing their dynamic, cool, punked up surf tunes with a spoonful of rock’n’roll and a tad indie to make everybody happy.
Better Surf Than Sorry!

The Biarritz Boys NL
Looking sharp in their suits and performance, The Biarritz Boys swing their surf set until the sweat drips from the venue’s walls, turning every dance floor into a salty surf zone.

Los Chukukos DE/CH/CL
The Jungle Surf trio from Santiago de Chile and Germany, who intoxicate the senses with psychedelic Cumbia and reverberant Surf and Garage.

The Malbehavers NL
From the beaches of Tilburg, these locals like to throw a sonic beach party, inspired by their surf heroes.

Sunburn Surf Fest – Scorching hot surf music

Out of the Chute and Kicking Up Dust! New Website Launch! MONDOGUITARO.COM

image

In the interest of going after some shows, Mondo Guitaro paid some sketchy dude in his basement to cobble together a website. He was totally overpriced to begin with, went way over budget, ignored all of our input, and proceeded to miss every development milestone along the way. In the end he delivered, but we had to wrestle the thumb drive loaded with the website code, out of his greasy, Flamin' Hot Cheetos-stained hands.

Mondo Guitaro is basically 1/2 of El Mirage (still going strong btw!) with Murph switching from drums to guitar and playing with Fady as an instrumental guitar duo. A traditional four-piece surf combo is LOUD by definition, and Mondo Guitaro is aiming for lower-key, lower volume, indoor gigs at taprooms, restaurants, wineries, etc. More deets on the website for anyone curious!
