Whoever has heard the Madeira live cannot forget them! The band is amazing, one of the most exciting surf music experiences of the moment. It is a very aggressive sound: heavy guitars, strong melodies, exotic atmospheres, you cannot miss the Madeira. Their latest album, Carpe Noctem, has been a blast, definitely one of the top productions in 2008.

The band will be touring Europe on the very end of July, for more info you are very welcome to call us. The tour is promoted and managed by Surfer Joe Music.

This is good stuff my friends! The DVD explains how surf music was born from a drummer point of view, hosting 4 great musicians who really discover all aspects of being a surf drummer. Playing surf drums is much more than just doing the surf beat, you need to see this!
Apart from this you will find in the movie many curiosities and information regarding the surf sound in general, presented mainly by Paul Johnson.

This DVD will surely be available at the Surfer Joe's booth at the Summer Festival 2009.

The Italian Pipelines, from Livorno, have been one of the top beach bands for almost 10 years, playing on every kind of stage and public with an amazing set of surf and beach classics. The band suspended their regular activity 4 years ago, although there have always been many requests to see them playing again.
Maintaining a link between underground and popular music, switching from big events to small venues, the Pipelines became quite popular in the business collecting very good successes. One of their last shows at the X-Tra Palace in Zurich had 2000+ people...

Well, the Pipelines will be available this summer for a few "reunion" gigs. They will appear at the Summer Festival on July 24 together with their long time friends the Bradipos IV from Caserta.
Surfer Joe is managing the booking, so please ask us anytime about dates.

This is recent news: surf legend John Blair joins the famous Eliminators! First performance at the Big Kahuna Surf Jam which happened last Saturday 31st January.

John is a real living legend: since the end of the 70s has been promoting surf music and its history and culture, writing books and reviews, playing as Jon & The Nightriders for years as one of the most important surf bands of the second wave. He has inspired many new bands to start playing surf music and given new energy to artists who thought surf music was dead.

Remember John Blair at Surfer Joe Summer Festival 2008 with Wadadli Riders and Daddy-O Grande.

We know Dick Dale's thoughts about music, but anyway I feel like posting this. This is why I love this man, his music and his attitude. He's the BEST ever ! Our surf music business is small... but it has a big heart. Let's keep it going my friends !!
By the way, we are glad to see Dick back on stage on these very days.

Rev Hank, lead guitar of the Canadian Urban Surf Kings, will definitely be at the SJ Summer Festival. He will present a nice set of USK songs with some Italian friends on bass and drums (maybe Wadadli Riders?). He will be on stage on Sunday July 26, but wait to see the definitive festival schedule for confirmation.

Ok, we could call John Blair the greatest expert of Surf Music's history. Since long long time ago he has been collecting, archiving, studying and describing this music phenomenon in all its aspects, trying to involve new musicians and diffuse the interest about this fantastic genre.
John has now released the 4th edition of his "Illustrated Discography of Surf Music", an incredible add-on to anyone's library and something every surf music's lover must have!
As long as we know this new edition includes new material, hard cover and new attracting graphics, and, most important, an amazing quantity of content and information starting from the beginning of this music.
You can buy the book at Amazon or - for whoever will come to the next Surfer Joe Summer Festival - you will be able to buy it at the Surfer Joe's booth.
Have fun!
