The Pitcher House in Hermosa Beach will be opening its doors to a
tsunami on March 24th when it presents 4 of the most acclaimed bands in
the contemporary surf instro scene. JON & the NIGHTRIDERS, SLACKTONE,
the SPACE COSSACKS and Pollo Del Mar all in one night!
 
John Blair of the Nightriders is often cited as being the man who
single-handedly brought this genre back into style in the early 80's.
His credits include writing a book on the subject and providing the
entire liner notes for Rhino's 4 CD set, Cowabunga - the Surf Box. Their
album Moving Target was just voted Album of the Year ('99) in Pipeline
Magazine. They will also be appearing at the monumental Rendevous
Ballroom Reunion show March 26th at the Galaxy.

Slacktone has recently been profiled in Guitar Player Magazine and their
drummer, ex-Agent Orange member Dusty Watson also happens to be Dick
Dale's drummer! This powerhouse of a trio has to be seen to be believed.

The Space Cossacks hail from Washington D.C. and are making a special
trip out here at the behest of Mr. John Blair for the Rendevous Ballroom
Reunion show. Their album Interstellar Stomp was voted Best Album of the
Year in Surf Music USA. 

Pollo Del Mar is from that peculiar and wonderful breed of San Francisco
instro bands with a style all their own. Their new CD The Devil and the
Deep Blue Sea has just been released by MuSick Recordings, a label known
for its cutting edge instro releases.
