That sounds like a hell of a show. Too bad I'm stuck here in cloudy, landlocked Ohio! Oh well -- I guess I'll have to just head downstairs and TURN UP the REVERB! :dude

My pal (and former band mate) Dusty Watson is the finest surf drummer on the planet (h%*l, he's just a great drummer period) and Dave Wronski is a monster guitar player.

Slacktone is not to be missed...riding the tube of modern surf music. Wish I could be there... so I'll just CRANK "Coffin Closer" and dream of that Gomez with the 15" cabinet (and my oil can delay for just a bit more "atmosphere").

Wow! That would have been a blast! I was an avid body surfer in my teens and was at the beach 4-5 days a week in the summer. My first "Business" was making skimboards and skateboards in wood shop at school.
My best friend just put out the Micky Dora book. The amp show needs more surf vibe! Cowabunga! :BEER
