WOOOOOOOOOO!

Derk Brigante here to let you finks in on a little secret... As you know, The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 brings you some of the most choice trax in Surf music and also some hella rare stuff unheard of elsewhere in the world of Surf podcasts! The Big Derboski likes doin' his fair share of theme shows too, ranging from simple themes throughout the episode, like SWINGIN' DRUUUUMS with all sorts of drum-centric surf trax, to going full-on BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!!! with Derk Tracy in... WOO DUNNIT?

Coming August 21 on the next full moon, I have a really special episode for ya... I got together with my buddies Matt Groopie of the King Beez and Alex Pulec of The Nursery and we pooled our resources together to make a REAL KOOL episode of the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000. We're gonna wax nostalgic and throw down some real ol skool and rare SURF RECORDS!!!

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! A FULL VINYL RECORD EPISODE OF THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000!!! DANG

We played everything from Dick Dale to The Ventures! OK, that doesn't sound any special at all... But it was The Ventures covering Johnny Cash! I KID I KID! We played some real obscure stuff and a lot of lesser known songs by the likes of Link Wray , Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys... YEAH, Matt pulled a fast one and played some Beach Boys on the BIG SURF but I let it slide this time. I'm talking a lot about what we played and so instead of leaving ya hangin', let me give ya a little sample of what is to come.

Alex, Matt and I each threw down a track of our choice for this preview. My track features HOT DAMN with their cover of Take It Off! I found this little-known gem of a 45 at Sonic Boom in Kensington Market for a dollar. I played the A-Side, BEAVER SHOT! on the full episode so make sure to tune in to hear some HOT DAMN! Matt played Duane Eddy, a heavy hitter in the instrumental scene and his track FUZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Alex ended our set off with some Jack Nietzsche and the perfect song for those starry nights that will be fading soon come September, SONG FOR A SUMMER NIGHT! WOOOOOO

BIG THANKS goes out to my buddy Tyler Ball for assisting us in recording and providing the turntable equipment necessary to record this episode! THANKS T-BALL!!!

It's always a fresh catch of instrumental music here on the Big Surf and The Big Derboski is never one to disappoint. We've been going all sorts of crazy with the past few episodes, going BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL and catching an old radio drama, WOO DUNNIT? Following that, we prepared for war with the GREAT LAKES SURF BATTLE SPECIAL checking out all the bands that would be playing at The Great Lakes Surf Battle and some others that have played at battles past! AND FINALLY, last month, we did a little bit of globetrotting to bring Surf from around the Earth in THE WORLD WARRIOR! I've had enough of all the themes and what-have-you so I threw together a real good episode with some of my most choice trax. No theme or idea in particular, just some SURF... NUFF SAID!

DERK TRACY IN... WOO DUNNIT?

WHAT'S THE HAPS, HO-DADS!

So, listen up! I was listening to my little alarm clock radio, trying to find some far out stations here in Hell City. Things weren't looking too good; I was hitting a lot of Top-40 and crap like that so I dared to... VENTURE BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!

Now, rumor has it, that to go far beyond the left of the dial, all the way past 88.1 FM is to stumble upon the static of a dimension not unlike our own. But to play beyond the eighty-eight is a dangerous game... The static can scramble your static, the commercials can turn you crazy... The Big Derboski ain't one for tall tales so I turned that dial till I could turn no more and went... BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!

I stared into the abyss and the abyss stared back... and you know who I saw?

DERK TRACY, NUMBER 1 PRIVATE EYE!

I heard a strange recording come on when I was surfin' the static so I managed to snag it with a few leftover mystic tapes I bought from an old electrician that was also a practicing voodoo doctor. I was able to get the recording nice and clean though I can't say the same about my soul... but damn this sounds good! DIG IT!

Eight Annual Great Lakes Surf Battle!

WOOOOO WHAT GOES ON HERE?!

I'll tell you what goes on! The eighth annual Great Lakes Surf Battle, right HERE in Toronto, Ontario! The Great Lakes Surf Battle was made to bring together some of Toronto's, and Canada's, finest surf bands under one roof and blow said roof off. The Great Lakes Surf Battle is like the playoffs of Canadian Surf music... NO, the WRESTLEMANIA of Surf music in Toronto. Local bands like The Blue Demons, Luau or Die, The King Beez, and even charlie browns from outta town, such as The Reverb Syndicate, The Robots, The Dead Beat, and Los Oxidados (all the way from Mexico City!) come to The Great Lakes Surf Battle to strut their stuff.

Here's the poster and the line-up for The Great Lakes Surf Battle and MAN what a line up!

You better RSVP for the event on Facebook here!

I recently sat down at The Cadillac Lounge, the home of Eight Annual Great Lakes Surf Battle, with The Blue Demon and Dano Villano of The Howling Bullets, the founders of The Great Lakes Surf Battle and got to talkin' about Surf Battles of yore, neat anecdotes, and what's going on this year!

MISSED OUT ON THE INTERVIEW?? BUMMER! maybe I will post it later ;)

This Great Lakes Surf Battle is shapin' up to be a real WILD WEEKEND so keep tuned to The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 to bring you the news on the biggest event for Surf music in Toronto! WOOOOOO!
