Winter Surf Sessions: A Concert Festival! Hard core surf music for hard core surfers and all their friends,and their friends’ friends, and THEIR friends’ friends, and… well, you get the picture! Winter Surf Sessions is bringing in the surf! Led by Pollo Del Mar guitarist Ferenc Dobronyi, Frankie & The Pool Boys are a surf “supergroup” featuring Dusty Watson (Dick Dale, Agent Orange, Slacktone, etc.) on drums and PDM’s Jeff Turner on bass, along with frankiethepoolboy.jpgcameos from Shigeo Naka (Japan’s The Surf Coasters), Dave Wronski (Slacktone), Ivan Pongracic (The Madeira, The Space Cossacks), Mel Waldorf (Meshugga Beach Party, Los Mel-tones) and 2008 Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bob Spaulding (The Ventures). The sound is strictly old world warm, no distortion boxes or digital reverbs were used. The styles range from reverb drippin’ trad (Teke, Teke, Teke, Johnny Fool) to Spaghetti Western (A Man Called Dirt, Finito Bandito). Slacktone is widely recognized as America’s best surf instrumental band. Their sound is a hyper-kinetic mix of melody, speed and jaw dropping technical skill. Formed in Los Angeles in 1995 from a group of surf band veterans, they have since released four albums and toured Europe six times. Slacktone’s music is featured in TV shows like the WB’s Summerland, MTV Real People, Fox Sports Network, Boardwild, and they were the house band for the MTV’s “Rock N Jock Superbowl Party”. They wrote and produced music for 5 Slim Jim extreme sports commercials, and also worked with Subaru for the release of their new sports vehicle, Baja. They have played at numerous outdoor sporting events including the US Open and OP Pro surfing events, NORBA mountain bike races, and several snowboarding events.
