CANCELLED: Original Famous Twang Sundays: Live Country Music | Potrero Hill

On Sunday, October 23rd Original Famous Twang Sundays welcomes The Deadlies, The Reefriders to Thee Parkside.

The Deadlies bring a bright blast of sound evolving from the California surf scene and roadhouse honkytonks, and swing with free-wheelin’ references of the best of punk & rock – raw, real and FUN! Self-titled “The Deadlies” marks their fourth release. With recording assistance from legendary producer Jack Douglas and mixing done by Seattle’s mix-master Tom Hall, listen and enjoy the fun, high energy anecdote to over-effected pop and cerebral metal doomdum. The band features entertaining vocalist and rippin’ guitarist, James Patrick Regan, Napa Valley’s KVYN 99.3 FM “Good Morning, Bob!” radio host Bob St. Laurent grooving the Bass! The two rebrand the power-pop surf sound and are loaded for bear with chops and hooks making them the Deadli-est of Surf bands.

The Deadlies performed more than 100 dates last year, completed the 10th TV season on “Creepy KOFY Movietime” airing Saturday nights. They are the House Band on Sacramento ’s KMAX 31 TV show, The Car Czar and the official rink-side house band for Pro Rollerderby Team, the San Francisco Bay Bombers.

The Reefriders have been entertaining music fans throughout California with their solid surf-style sounds. The three-piece instrumental guitar band serves up quite a collection of surf music including hits from the classic early 60s surf bands like the Ventures, the Astronauts and the Bel-Airs, to the red hot scorching sounds of Dick Dale. Covering surf classics like Pipeline, Misirlou, and Surf Party, the Reefriders take their audience on a joy ride through time with wild music as popularized in the movie Pulp Fiction. Just when fans begin to enjoy a taste of some mellow surf tunes, such as from the 60s cult classic surf movie “Endless Summer”, or the modern tune “Talking to Trees,” watch out – because things heat right back up with the band’s creative and powerful renditions of tunes by modern instrumental legends such as Los Straitjackets, and Jon and the Nightriders, as well as other killer surf guitar classics and original compositions. It is the Reefriders’ mission to transport their audiences through a sonic world where music is fun and “really cool”.
