No, no I don't
But if you book a hall and a men's hotel w/ and elevator I could have three great surf bands there by the fourth of july.
If they're the only requirements, I can provide this.
As long as one of them sounds like the Reverend Horton Heat.
No that...
...would be pretty special.
He's/they're playing the Astoria 2 onthe 6th August too!
can't get the Rev but
can get some real surf geezers.
I have been hounding Iggy Pop on his myspace to fuck it all and form a heavy surf outfit- have you heard his "Repo Man Theme" - fuck o dear he missed his calling.
I wish there were
I was practising my Ventures riffs only the other day.
Barden's
always put this kind of thing on. I think the night is called Gypsy Hotel but I could be mistaken. I'm sure the Barden's girl can tell you.
Fabulous Penetrators?
They're kinda rockabilly.
Death Ray Trebuchey
they're a bit gypsy-er, but amazing fun. Often to be found in Barden's Boudoir.
Two ..
..fine suggestions
Cheers
Just remembered
Urban Voodoo Machine.
The Bookhouse Boys

Agreed. they are bloody great. Have a listen to the track G-Surf on their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/thebookhouseboysofficial
PETE MOLINARI
There is a great single out at the moment by this guy called "I Came Out From the Wilderness" from his album Virtual Landslide. Great song, a bit of Rockabilly in there i think.
