First off Let me say this was Not a surf show. Although the members
of the band were(Norm from Ghastly Ones on Vocals),(Chris Barfield,
and Steve Hill from the Huntington Cads/Finks),(Dave Drummer from
the Bomboras),and one other guy on Keyboards not sure who).
The Music was more along the lines of Spooky Frat rock, Chris
was playing a Epiphone semi hollowbody through a Fender Deluxe
Reverb. But not much Reverb or Volume coulld be heard. The major
instrument was the Keyboard(vox sounding on some songs,Harpsicord
on others. They were all Vocals, I'm assuming a mix of covers and
originals. But i'm not up on Garage/Frat rock so I couldn't really
say. Except that they did Screamin' Lord Such's "Jack the Ripper"
and "The Crusher" that the Bomboras used to finish the shows with.
Both Vocals of course.
The stage set up was kinda borrowed from the Ghastly Ones
with the Graveyard fences and chains, and 2 Tombstones on each side
of the stage. They all wore White Tuxedo tail coats with white top
hats and white pants. With about 4 or 5 Black lights Lighting them
all up really bright. Oh and they had Black masks on to hide their
faces.
It was fun, and alot of people were there. Met San, and Kristina
who are both posters on the yahoo groups. Ran and Dale came up from
San Diego,and we carpooled up to LA from OC. While it was a good show,
we were alittle disapointed that there was not even one spooky surf
song. All very R&B flavored and well done. But no rippin' drippin'
spooky surf songs.
But Norm, and Garret said that they'd totally be into getting
back together if the Satan's Pilgrims would be touring, to do a show,
or shows together.
I guess it's a good thing Brian Neal didn't make the trip out to
see the show. I think he would have been very bummed out.
I'd like to hear what some other people thought.
Jeff(bigtikidude)
Yes, Jeff gave an aproximation of the show. I would have liked to hear
more surf, but it sounded more like the Witchdoctors, which I never
bought because I did like it as much.
The venue was crowded and everyone in front of me was over 6 feet tall,
so I barely got a glimpse of the band. I did get to see the costumes,
though. I liked the whole get-up.
Despite the fact there wasn't "surf," I thought it was pretty fun and
goofy. I had a great time, met some new people, and finally got to meet
Jeff. I actually saw a friend of mine there, which was a shock. It's
not exactly her scene, but someone had invited her.
I took some pics last night with the camera phone, but I don't think I
got anything good. If I happen to get a good photo, I'll post it (is
this the group that doesn't allow attachments?)
Thanks for letting us know about the show, Brian.

Kristena,
there is a seperate section in the yahoo groups to post photos.
Log into yahoo, and go to the group you want, then on the left hand
side click on the photos link.
Hope there is a few that come out, they did look cool that night.

Thanks--I've been working on school stuff, so I haven't taken the time to
