Summer really is a state of mind, especially during the cold months in Southern California. Nothing can prove it more than the right live musical soundtrack. For many fans the world over, this soundtrack is Surf Music, the instrumental genre created in the early 60's by legendary bands such as The Belairs and Eddie & The Showmen. Helping to keep this instro torch alive and well are the members of the online forum http://www.SurfGuitar101.com, who have put together some of the most significant live Surf Music events in recent years. The 2nd annual Winter Surf Fest will continue along these lines, featuring an entire day of the reverb-drenched goodness, complete with rare tribute and reunion performances, and the US public debut screening of the new Surf Music documentary film Reverb Junkies. This special Sunday event coincides with one of the most important music weekends in Southern California that includes Deke Dickerson's Guitar Geek Festival
and the NAMM trade show in Anaheim,
and the So Cal World Guitar Show at the Orange County Fairgrounds.

2nd Annual Winter Surf Fest Highlights:

A very special US public debut screening of the brand-new Surf Music documentary film Reverb Junkies at 10AM, with the filmmakers present. DVDs of the film will be available for purchase.
A tribute performance by John Blair (Jon & The Nightriders), Dick Dodd (The Belairs, Eddie & The Showmen, The Standells), Jim Frias (The Nocturnes) with High Tide, to the great Surf Guitar pioneer Eddie Bertrand (The Belairs, Eddie & The Showmen), who recently passed away
A Rare Belairs reunion performance featuring original members Paul Johnson, Dick Dodd, and Jimmy Roberts with special guests
A rare Southern California performance by modern Bay Area Surf masters The TomorrowMen
A performance by Surf/Garage/Frat band extraordinaire The Volcanics
A performance by San Pedro traditional surf maestros The Riptides

Was wondering if you have set the times and order the bands will play.

In this updated trailer of Reverb Junkies, there is no mistaking the identity of Jeff Big Tiki Dude but

Is that Exene of X at the 20 second mark? Can't quite hear the name.

Yes that was Exene at the SG101 convention a few years back.
She is friends of Cathrine of the Space Cossacks, and came to see her.
I gladly put her on the guest list.
:wink:

The TomorrowMen will be playing a 5 song mini-set of acoustic surf music during our slot. It was a big hit at Forbidden Island last year so Jeff asked us to reprise it at Winterfest. Let us know if you liked it or not.

Here's a sample... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ignmDr6bW-I

I agree.

Well I just finished up negotiations and Sunday I’m officially OUT ON PAROLE. Free to run wild in the streets and I can’t think of any other place I’d rather be than at this event!

I’m looking forward to this and especially the Tomorrowmen acoustic set.

BigTikiDude... You've met the man, now see the movie !!

And thank you for the awesome event. :)

To see First Wave legends like Paul Johnson, Dick Dodd, and Jim Frias playing with Second Wave pioneer John Blair, along with sets from the best of the Third Wave like the TomorrowMen is mind boggling.

Thanks for the kind words guys
you are tiki peeps that get it.

I really enjoyed this event . All the bands were very good and just in general the vibe all day was awesome! Cool folks and no egos, just good ole chill-n-out.

Reverb Junkies was great and I picked up my copy at the show. I feel it does a good job at capturing the community feel present a these type of shows.

BTD, his crew and the Starting Gate staff did a wonderful job… again. I'm very happy that I made the trek up to this event after a late show the night before in San Diego.
Thanks!

Also big props to John O for making the SD Tomorrowmen show the night before too. That’s dedication!

John O,
welcome to the Trifecta surf club.
I've done that Many times.
fun to see a band do 3 sets over a weekend.
usually each show has enough difference to make it worth while.

Now, you gotta come to Nor. Cal. the weekend before the Convention,
to become real hard core.
:wink:
