Sonic Swell and Forbidden Island present: Surf's Up, kids! Pig Out, Don't Wipeout! Surf Music, the instrumental soundtrack for generations of wave riders comes to the exotic island of Alameda on August 6, 2011. Headlining this year's Surfin' Smorgasboard, all the way from Rome, The Bradipos IV. Their sound is Vespas and Morricone, Bardot-au-go-go and Sixties Beach Party. This is their first USA tour. The Secret Samurai work the antipodal influences of passionate Spanish guitar and frenetic Japanese Eleki into a heavy and aggressive trio sound. This is not Gidget's surf music, but an evolution of Dick Dale's crunchy Middle Eastern melodies. The Secret Samurai released their second CD, "Zanshin" earlier this year. The Surfside IV, come to us from Phoenix Arizona, where there's about a thousand miles of beach before you hit the ocean, for an exclusive Northern California appearance.. They are red-Fez wearin' lads with a garage-party dance beat. Heavy on the trad style, their latest CD is called "Ballad of the Tiki." 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. Their new CD, "Day of the Deadbeats will be available at the show. PLUS!
