Playlist for Friday, June 30, 2006


SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always a local artist!)
The Awkwards -- Rising Star
(Minimum Maintenance Music; Obese Pirate)

This month's Surf Stomp at the Hexagon Bar made the local City Pages A-List of recommended events as we kicked off our third(!) year of these things! The Awkwards, Baron Von Otto Matic and host band Big Surf provided the live goods in fine fashion while RRR's Jean spun surf and hot rod tunes between sets throughout the night. Despite being a holiday weekend, and several great shows elsewhere in the Cities that night, we had a full house at the Hex and one of our best Surf Stomps yet! Joining Big Surf next month will be guest band the Woodpeckers, with their instrumental spy-fi sounds. Zounds!
