As this frigid winter chill finally relents into a tentative thaw, why not take a mental spring break with this surf rock show packed with languid summer vibes. Salisbury, MA’s the Televibes wax you up slick and take you out to the deep end. Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion heat things up with scorched earth style surf: stark and uncompromising guitar meandering 40 years through the desert. Boogie Boy Metal Mouth mixes things up with cutting experimental rythmes strewn amongst noisy sonic detritus. SMFA bad boys Midriffs cap things off with more punchy up beat hits perfect for bubbler rips. With so many slippery riffs, crashing cymbals and stark, pummeling rhythm patterns from these solid local acts, you’ll practically feel the hot sand between your perma-frostbitten toes.
