The Curse of the Bull Kelp Surfers! Portland Public House. NOW WITH ADDED VIDEO!!1!
They were warned, but did they listen? A surfing expedition went awry when our heroes were caught in a freak typhoon! Taking shelter in a welcoming coastal cave, the ill-fated Surfers disturbed a Sea-Witch from her thousand-year hibernation. Her wrath was unmatched and the Bull-Kelp Surfers were forever cursed to scour the ocean depths for crashing drum breaks, deep, salty basslines and reverb drenched guitars! Hold onto your manatees, folks! It's going to get rough!
Delicious beer! Dance moves! A skeleton! More rad guitars than you can shake a stick at! Come on down and have your face melted!

Yes that artwork is sublime! We are very lucky Surfers indeed.
So come on down. Entry is almost free, we just demand a small (but permanent) fraction of your high end hearing.

Sadly not for me, I can't afford to lose any more off the top, next time though....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

The offset and oddball guitar collection sounded surf perfect and respect to your drummer; he's a monster!
As I left, Strummers was being mobbed by a swarm of cuties. Good to see you taking one for the Team, mate!

Sounded great!
When you're playing in a band like this, do you have to be super careful of staying in time with everyone else and not playing bum notes? With the amps so clean, and upfront in the mix, there would be know where to hide, would there?
