Hi Pollo fans,
Next Sunday, May 15, Pollo del Mar returns for our 8th appearance at
the Bay to Breakers Race in San Francisco. The music usually starts
around 8AM and we will play for about 2 hours. I know it's early, but
if you come, I guarantee you will get an eyeful! Bring a camera... Try
to take BART (or bike) and be aware that the race screws up traffic
through the city. (We will be at the corner of Hayes, Fell and Market
streets.)
The following Sunday, May 22 we return to Surf Sundays at The Hotel
Utah with L.A.'s The Insect Surfers. The Insects have always been a
huge inspiration to us, and their shows are always a blast. They will
have a new "Best Of / Rarities" CD for sale. Opening the show are The
Pyronauts. The Hotel Utah is at Fourth & Bryant in San Francisco. The
baseball game starts at 5 that day so there will be plenty of free
parking, and the Hotel Utah will have their BBQ going. Doors at 2,
show at 3 in the afternoon. The Insects have two other NorCal shows in
Monterey and Auburn, check www.insectsurfers.com for details.
On May 29, Thee Parkside in San Francisco is cooking up a Luau BBQ.
They promise "fruity drinks, maybe even some burlesque dancers and
bunch of surf/garage/gogo bands" - including PDM, The Coppertones and
a band from San Diego I have wanted to see called Monster from Mars. I
am not sure what time we go on, please check the Pollo gigs page for
more details.
Coming up in June, a 4 band surf show at The Brookdale Lodge; the
Second Battle of the Bands (featuring Rick Escobar of the Woodies(!)
and 12 surf bands); and a special "Guitar Player Magazine Presents"
show at the Boom Boom Room in SF with SLACKTONE!
Thanks,
Ferenc
Pollo Del Mar
