I really don't like to "review" the concert events I produce and promote
but I gotta tell ya, last night's SURF-ROCK SHINDIG at 'OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD'
was totally killer
this was THE SHOW of shows
special thanks to OTTO's for letting me do this on a once-a-month basis!
we had a great turn-out, the music went to 3:15 am (with people screaming for
more!)
So just a few words -- God bless the artists (in order of appearance) who gave
and gave to such an amazing evening:
(1)TARANTINOS/NYC
www.tarantinosmusic.com
it says on their website:
We specialize in the great crossfade between 60's-70's Surf, Soul, Spy and
Spaghetti Western that makes 90's gangsters somehow more hip, more appealing
than if they listened to actual 90's music
and indeed they delivered just that!
(2)THE ATOMIC MOSQUITOS
www.atomicmosquitos.com
These 4 dudes played a blistering set, complete with sound bites from classic
movies. I had never seen them before, although we met in December 2004 at a
SURF-ROCK SHINDIG I had put together at JAXX in West Springfield, Virginia.
Very grateful they made the journey from the Md/D.C./Va Beltway to play for us
in NYC. Intense, wondrous hyper-surf. Just awesome.
(3) THE NEBULAS
www.thenebulas.com
Holy holy shit! Every time I see these dudes shred I cannot believe my eyes
and ears. They played a SURF-ROCK SHINDIG last yeat at 'THE CUTTING ROOM' in
NYC (with the SURFALICIOUS DUDES - talk about power surf!). These gentlemen
came down from New England to be part of this special night in the Tiki Den of
Otto's and I am also so grateful to them for being there. Rippin' high-speed
intensity - I am still trying to come down from this.
(4) THIS SPY SURFS
www.thisspysurfs.com
What an amazing way to finish off the evening! T-99 has got to be the coolest
cat swinging a surf axe - walking all over the room on his wireless, and in the
end, the crowd begging and screaming for more. Finally had to bring things to a
close at 3:15 am! This is band ya gotta see live to fully appreciate -- I call
them "film noir surf" and they haven't yet said I shouldn't! This is a
different take on 'surf music' but man, it works for me (and countless others
who were still at the club).
My SURF-ROCK SHINDIG has now become a once-a-month even every first SATURDAY
of every month! And I thank OTTO's for that! We're gonna keepi building this -
twang it, and they will come!
Next up is JANUARY 7 2006:
SHECKY & THE TWANGTONES, MISTER NEUTRON, COFFIN DAGGERS, VENICE BEACH MUSCLE
CLUB
members of many other bands were also in the house:
THE RETROLINERS, VENICE BEACH MUSCLE CLUB, 9TH WAVE, HOWLIN' THURSTONS
this was the scene to make
this will be the place to be each first SATURDAY of the month
as I left OTTO's close to 4 am, the snow was falling in the Big Apple, making
for a beautiful ending to a sweet evening
thanks to everyone in the Yahoo Groups who also journeyed to be there
