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!
