Saturday, August 13 – Surf Guitar 101 Festival in Los Alamitos!

Mark your calendars now, Saturday, August 13th 2011 is a date you will not want to miss! Join us for a celebration of live surf music in the heart of Southern California!

We are absolutely pleased to announce the headlining act will be none other than Satan’s Pilgrims! We are also excited to continue the tradition started last year by hosting bands from outside the United States. This year, visiting from foreign shores we will have The Razorblades (Germany), The Bradipos IV (Italy), and The Blue Demons (Canada)!

As before, we will host a special “Legends of Surf” jam, where members of original 1960’s surf bands will play the classics in the genre. You won’t want to miss this! Past years have featured members of The Belairs, Eddie & The Showmen, The Chantays, The Lively Ones, and The Crossfires. This year we are going to feature the music of The Belairs, Davie “King Fuzz” Allan, and a tribute to Eddie Bertrand!

We’ll also have a large vendor space featuring CD’s, vinyl, t-shirts, DVD’s and more!

All of this is happening Saturday, August 13th, 2011 at The Starting Gate, 5052 Katella Avenue, in Los Alamitos, California, 9am to 8pm. Tickets will be $25 at the door. Kids 16 & under are free!

Here is the complete band lineup for the convention:

  • Satan’s Pilgrims – One of the most popular and influential modern surf bands, these caped musicians hail from the Pacific Northwest, home of the Ventures, The Sonics, and The Wailers.
  • The Razorblades – All the way from Germany, you’ll dig their fast and loud take on surf music.
  • The Bradipos IV – From Italy, you’ll love their traditional surf and spaghetti western sounds.
  • The Cocktail Preachers – This Chicago band indeed preaches to the faithful the sounds of surf, exotica, and Mai-Tais.
  • Daikaiju – This Kabuki masked band hails from Alabama, and plays a high explosive, rocket-fueled progressive form of surf music. One of the most talked about live acts on the scene.
  • Meshugga Beach Party – Who knew? Traditional surf music combined with Jewish folk songs! You have to see to believe these chosen surfers from Northern California.
  • The Deadbeats – One of the hottest and youngest surf bands today, these kids like to play old school surf music loud and fast!
  • The Blue Demons – From Toronto, these wrestling super heroes will take you to the mat with their pile-driving take on surf and garage music.
  • The Tequila Worms – Another young band, these guys hail from Anaheim, California, and sound like The Ventures after getting in a car crash with Link Wray!

Lou Beach, Alpha Lubicz and Sam Lubicz are connected via DNA ( father, daughter, son), glue, scissors and X-acto blades and a love of cutting and pasting. They make collages of depth and beauty that chronicle their journeys through the subconscious, creating imagery that is strongly graphic and narrative, telling tales that alternate between the immediate and the mysterious, visionary speculations on pop culture, comics, death, sex and personal history.

Over the last 30 years Lou Beach’s work has been featured in major magazines as well as on countless record and cd packages, book covers and advertisements. A much-admired pop icon of Los Angeles’s wild era of illustration in the 1970s and 80s, Lou Beach has remained a vital force in today’s competitive world of popular art, creating imagery for clients as diverse as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Utne Reader, The Paris Revue, MCA Records, Random House, McGraw-Hill and Houghton-Mifflin among others. A tour of this self-taught collagist’s mind reveals a delight in visual puns and a direct link to such greats of the medium as Hannah Hoch, George Heartfield, Max Ernst, Romare Beardon and Tadanori Yokoo as well as influences from popular culture. His collages have also landed on record covers for Weather Report [Grammy nomination],The Carpenters, The Neville Brothers, Dave Alvin, Dr. John, Ethel Merman and Blink 182.


Lou Beach was born in Gottingen, Germany in 1947, and his name is actually the phonetic pronounciation of his real last name, Lubicz. His Polish parents were unwilling guests of the Nazis–his father a prisoner-of-war, his mother a slave laborer. In the 1970s, he began his career as a record cover illustrator. In the 80s and 90s he was a beloved instructor at Art Center College of Design and Otis. He has recently collaborated on a short book of fiction with author J. Robert Lennon, and a book of his short stories will see publication through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in December 2011.
