3 sets, 3 hours and not sharing stage time with other bands ... nothing but the Insects in a small, intimate venue. Kind like a room party, just with better drinks! I can't wait!!

Did you mean to say "toungeage" ?

Kevin,
you going to the Monterrey show?

This just in!!!!!!

The first 25 thirsty, hungry for instrumental maniacs that make it to the very special Forbidden Island matinee show will receive an exclusive 'made for Forbidden Island' Live Insect Surfers CD!!!!!

The CD, Lyve in the Valley of the Sun, which documents a live Insect Surfers gig on June 5, 2004, has long been sold out!!!
More info and track listing HERE

16 crazy live tracks for free!!! Just for showin' up!!!

As an added bonus, each CD has been given a personal artistic touch by Insect Dave himself!

So......be sure to be one of the first 25 through the door to receive this very special gift!

+

And, just another head's up regarding the Forbidden Island show...3 sets means LOTS of songs rarely played live anymore, very special cover songs NEVER played live before, and a chance to hear just about EVERY BRAND NEW SONG that will be on the upcoming new Insect Surfers album. Folks, this just plain doesn't happen very often, and the band would love to share the new lineup and material with you!!!

Really hope to see you there!!! Remember...Saturday, October 23, 2-5PM, Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge!!!
Come celebrate Forbidden Island and instrumental rock n' roll with your friends from down south!!!

Can't make the Saturday show at FI, but might make the Sunday show in SF before heading across the pond to Brother Cleve at FI.

have a good trip, and shows guys.

Jeff(btd)

Can't make it for the Saturday show, but I'll see you on Sunday at the Hotel Utah!

L

SO glad that there are tons of folks who love Forbidden Island and will go there not only to support the bar but luck out and get to see you guys in such an intimate settiing.

Cant wait to see you JonPaul!!

Hope your show tonight was a great one and you have energy left for the rest of the weekend :)

Soooo excited to have the boys in the house today! Jonpaul and Adrien are both personal friends of mine and this show has been in the planning stage for some time now. The band intends pulling all the stops for this and they've assured me that the Forbidden Island show will be the crown jewel of their Norcal tour. Mahalo!

The Insects are rockin' a packed house! Damn, these guys are good!
Highlights will be posed on You tube (in a week or so)

that was an awesome 3 hour set! I hadn't seen The Insect Surfers in about 10 years! Also in the audience were SF artist Dave Sturm and now-Pleasanton resident but former king of Surf Music on the airwaves in LA, Jim Dunfrund. Jim ran Surfwave on KXLU for about 20 years!!
For the last Insect Surfers set there was an all-star jam. First Martyn of the Mermen http://www.mermen.net/martyn.shtml sat in on one song, then later Danny of Meshugga Beach Party and Martyn joined in on a Link Wray tune http://www.meshuggabeachparty.com/

Insects are playing right now at Hotel Utah with Mach IV and Thee Swank Bastards
I hope they all come over to Forbidden Island after!

I was lucky enough to catch them at Forbidden Island and The Hotel Utah shows. Great shows guys thanks for coming up North.

For those that missed this incredible show, there are now 3 videos on You Tube, that really capture the energy and excitement of the performance. Enjoy!

Again, a huge MAHALO to the Insects for scheduling this incredible 3-hour show at Forbidden Island. Their award-winning CD is already on our jukebox and we look forward to their return in the not-too distant future.
