Southern Surf Stomp! presents Phatlynx (NC), Gemini XIII, and Air Wolves

North Carolina's Phatlynx are the ultimate southern fried homage to Link Wray...and the other white meat.  In reality they are so much more, cooking up styles from surf, rockabilly, and R&B.  Crispy Bess, the group's leader, is a rock legend of epic proportions having played with Southern Culture on the Skids, Uncle Tupelo, and Tiny Tim...yes, THAT Tiny Tim.  Bess is also the organizer and promoter for the world's largest instrumental music festival, the Instro Summit.

Gemini XIII are relative newcomers to the Atlanta surf scene although member Lester Dragstedt has played a big role in the punk world since the 80's with his band The Nightporters.  The group started primarily as a cover band but has since focused on some very strong originals.  I am a big fan and supporter of this group and see some great things in their future.

Air Wolves feature former members of the Love Drunks and Can Can, and play gritty garage punk a la the Stooges.  The Wolves recently released their debut CD recorded by our friend John Breedlove from Hip To Death.

Southern Surf Stomp! presents the Monsters of Surf featuring DAIKAIJU (AL), Kill, Baby...Kill! (AL), The Mystery Men?, and El Fossil

This show is bound to be our biggest and wildest yet.  Unlike May's all vocal lineup, June's stomp features four instrumental groups that can be heard on the recently released compilation "Monsters of Surf".

Seeing Daikaiju is not just a concert, it's an experience.  These masked maniacs are the hardest working surf group and have performed all over the world. 

Kill, Baby...Kill! is one of my absolute favorite bands on the planet.  These apocalyptic surf punks from Alabama are at the top of the game their songwriting, musicianship, and performance.

Who are The Mystery Men?  No one really knows for sure but they are sure to bring their eclectic blend of surf with a triple guitar assault.

El Fossil plays a noisy sort of thrash surf.  These guys are just a blast to watch and if the music doesn't move you, the witty stage banter will be sure to keep you smiling.

Second annual Surfin' Saturday at Atlanta Food Truck Park

This excellent event, organized by Jamie Galatas of the Mystery Men? and sponsored by our very good friend The Surf King Surfwear, takes place before the next Stomp and features seven of the best surf groups the Southeast has to offer.  All ages are welcome at this free event, where you can sample eats from the finest food trucks in the city while sipping on your favorite beverage you brought from home.
