August marks the triumphant return of Charlotte, North Carolina's
The Monterreys. Not only were they the first group to headline the inaugural Southern Surf Stomp! but will be the first to do so for a second time. The trio plays a powerful brand of surf with a world music influence, guitarist Johnny Stewart also a flamenco guitarist. After losing their previous bass player Leon Daniel, which is now working on his solo project
The Wrecks House amongst other things, they were fortunate enough to be joined by Aqualads' (and now Southern Surf Stomp contributor) Jeremy DeHart. Reinvigorated by the change, the band will be bringing fresh songs, their fabulous new record "The Pharaoh", and even a different look with them to Kavarna.
Bruce Joyner is a legend in the underground garage rock scene with his seminal work with The Unknowns and will also be returning to the Stomp for a second time with his band
Bruce Joyner and Atomic Clock. The front man has a larger than life presence and having seen he and guitarist Tom Byars perform in different configurations with various groups over the past decade or so, I can honestly say this iteration is by far the best I've ever seen. They nearly blew the roof off the place last time and people were practically begging me to have them back.
