Hey Ran, we'll be going to this. Looking forward to hearing your band as well as the Surf Coasters.
Anyone who would like to stop by our place beforehand is more than welcome. We're about 10 minutes away from the venue. If there's interest, we can have food/drinks here. Email me for directions if you need them.

Hey all,
There's a Taco shop just across form the place, might be Benny's, and it's not that good. I don't know of any ones I can reccomend in the area. Even the Roberto's on El Cajon blvd. was disappointing (as opposed to the excellent one in Chula Vista).
If any of you won't be too tired after the gig, feel free to come by to our place, where drinks will be served.
Of course, I appologize if I look a little cranky before the gig (I probably will be), it's not always that your second gig in a band is opening for one of the most energetic, talented and well experienced surf bands in the world (The Surf Coasters).
See ya there, and thank for coming,
Ran

Thanks A LOT to all the TC gang that showed up at the gig, the place was packed despite the heavy rain, the enrgy level was high, and although we were no match for the Surf Coasters, we got a lot of compliments on our gig. There wasn't a lot of room for wondering around and I was busy with tearing down the gear, but i wanted to personally thank Polynesian Pop (who made the long trek down to SD, in rain and traffic, I assume), Alnshely, Monkeyman (they probably had to battle heavy traffic coming down from North County SD) and the ModManas. I appologize if I forgot anyone. Tonight we'll be going up to Suzy's at Hermosa Beach to see the Surf Coasters play with 2 other GREAT bands Slacktone and the Migs. If you're in the area, check it out.
Thanks for the support guys...BTW our next gig is planned for May 1st at the Huntington Beach Pier 1pm-2pm with 4 other bands.

Ran, that was a good show but the WhistleStop needs a stage, or at least a folding drum riser. Maybe the next time you play there you could strap milk crates on your feet to raise the band over the crowd while allowing you to still walk around... I'm sorry that we couldn't stay for the Surf Coasters but I had to be at work today, I had to leave while you were still tearing down & didn't have a chance to say "Hi".

Ran, sorry I couldn't make it to the show. Too much shit comin' down here at home right now. I promise to make it to the next one (even if I have to crawl naked through broken glass and burning cactus).

Ran,
You guys sounded excellent. I can't believe this is just your 2nd gig with the band. The Surf Coaster were also unbelievable. I wanted to try and make it to the Hermosa show but I'm still recovering from last night's late night drive home.
So when's your CD coming out?????

I think that's a Thursday, so I'm probably not going to make it up there, but all the LA Ohana should think about it. A great band with a good sound.

Yep, it's a Sunday. I didn't have a calendar with me when I posted before so I tried counting days on my fingers, and obviously lost count somewhere...

Ran-
Great show, you guys were tight especially for your second show.
Surfcoasters were amazing, best surf show I have seen since Los straightjackets.
I agree, a stage would have been nice at the whistlestop, the surfcoasters are not real tall dudes.

kick_the_reverb & band had a great groove going at the Whistlestop. I echo the sentiments of others here in that I can't believe that was only the band's 2nd gig. We really enjoyed the show and it was definitely worth venturing out in the pouring rain. Surf Coasters put on a great show as well. A nice TC turnout...I spoke with all the TC peeps except sirginn, where were you? Keep us informed of future shows Ran.

Modmana- I was lurking with some friends drinking a newcastle. You probably saw me, I was the wet guy. Sorry I did not get around to meeting everybody, I was just happy I was able to motivate and make it to the show, I had just worked a 36 hour shift.
