It's a SURFIN' SMORGASBORD! Sonic Swell presents: THE FIRST FORBIDDEN ISLAND SURFING MUSIC FESTIVAL! Sunday August 1, 2010, $10, 2PM doors open, Music at 3 Advance tickets available through BrownPaperTickets.com Surf Music, the instrumental soundtrack for generations of wave riders comes to the exotic island of Alameda on August 1, 2010. A music indigenous to California with a beat like the relentless tides of the Pacific, Surf has made fans and influenced musicians worldwide. Since the early 60s when songs like "Pipeline" and "Wipeout" topped the charts, the reverberated instrumental sound's popularity has waxed and waned, but continues with a hardcore following that won't let it die. Quentin Tarantino's 1994 cult classic "Pulp Fiction" brought surf music back into the spotlight and relaunched the career of Dick Dale, and his anthem, "Miserlou", spawned the "Third wave" revival, inspiring a whole new generation of double pickin' gremmies. Forbidden Island owner Michael Thanos and music booker Will "the Thrill" Viharo have made this island destination, already popular for its world class mixology, a Mecca for touring surf bands and their fans. This timeless brand of pulsating "marine-music" suits the rich tropical/nautical decor of the lounge, and though the sound is much more aggressive than the typical tiki bar exotica you might expect, it makes for a lively, retro-rockin' atmosphere, especially when combined with the exotic elixirs Forbidden Island is famous for. The plan now is to make this initial four-band exposition the first of many future annual, weekend-long events featuring bands from around the world. Headlining the Surfing Music Festival is Alameda's own Meshugga Beach Party, who can proudly call themselves "The World's Greatest Jewish Surf Band." Dressed as Rabbis they perform traditional Jewish music in a heavy reverb surf style, perfect for dancing the hora in your baggies. http://www.meshuggabeachparty.com/meshugga/index.htm The Wadadli Riders are a trio of Italians who live in Antigua, because the Carribean swells are better than the Mediterranean surf. The band frequently tours Europe and this show is the first stop of their summer US tour. http://www.myspace.com/wadadliriders Frankie & The Pool Boys is a new group created by Ferenc Dobronyi, leader of the Bay Area's long running psychedelic surf band Pollo del Mar. Dobronyi wanted to play in a style reminiscent of his early 60's heros, so he assembled the finest players around, including drummer Naotaka Seki of the Surf Coasters, who will be flying in from Japan for this tour. http://www.myspace.com/frankieandthepoolboys Straight outta San Pablo come The Deadbeats, the youngest surf band on the scene. Their style is blistering, ear popping, speed surf. The Deadbeats are the future of surf music– passionate about the genre, with the chops to take it new and wonderful places. http://www.myspace.com/deadbeats63 All this, and for extra saucy, sizzling sex appeal - live Go-Go dancers! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! FI's own Suzanne Long presents FOOD CART MANIA! Totally killin’ surf bands all day and go-go dancers not enough? How about a sea of gourmet food carts all day at Forbidden Island? Join us for an East Bay convergence of amazing food carts that will completely blow you away.
