I bring you finks the absolute best in Surf music! From the west coast of California to the Great Lakes of Toronto, Ontario, with a few stops in between, I bring the SURF! HOLD ON I'M NOT DONE YET, As the Reverb Syndicate say, worse things happen at sea, especially when yer hangin' ten! I'm not content to just sit here on this island and claim I play "surf from around the Earth". I surf the seven seas to bring the music from all over the world! BUT I wanna go local... Back to Toronto for a moment and talk about some of the bands that I dig there. The NINTH ANNUAL GREAT LAKES SURF BATTLE IS COMING UP AND IT'S SHAPING UP TO BE AN ALL OUT WAR! TWO NIGHTS, TWO STAGES, TOO MUCH SURF WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OH WHO'S THE FELLOW "DJ DERK"? I BELIEVE THAT IS ME! shame I couldn't get my last name on there but when you go by several monikers like The Big Derboski does, yer bound to cause a bit of personality crisis WOOOOOOO NONETHELESS I will be there FRIDAY NIGHT playing some serious Surf tunes for all of you Toronto finks!

Here's where I have a BIG conflict of interest! Normally I like to place bets on who I think is gonna win the battle but it's gonna be a REAAAAAAAL tough choice! FRIDAY NIGHT IS ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTING! I got two bands in the battle that I'm rooting for, that being The Gnarly Ones and the King Beez. OOOOOOOH MAAAAAN!

I went to see The Gnarly Ones back in January at Magpie Tavern and they packed that lil bar to the gills. All the finks there just tore the floorboards up! Lotsa fast and loud surf with some real BAAAAD SAX!! I just caught The Gnarly Ones again at The Cloak and Dagger a week or two ago and they may as well get into the demolition biz because they tore the roof off the place! The Big Derboski don't get scared very easily but I'm afraid of what The Gnarly Ones are gonna do to the Cadillac Lounge...

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN IS THE KINGS OF METAL... SURF! THAT IS THE KING BEEZ! I've caught 'em a few times when they stop into Toronto and though they're a coupla BEEZ, they ALWAYS BRING THEIR A GAME!! Last Sunday after I had won a pinball Tournament...
*pinball tourney pic*
I dropped into Clinton's Tavern to catch the King Beez and it was one helluva show! The King Beez put everything they had into their show and put on one of THE BEST SHOWS I HAVE SEEN IN A DAAAAAAAAMN LOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME! Matt Groopie shreds with the best of 'em and with the way he was playing, I'm surprised his kustom guitar didn't set on fire what with the speed he was shredding at! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU SHOULD KNOW MATT GROOPIE YA FINKS he was on the Surfphony of Derstruction once with my buddy Alex Pulec of The Nursey and The Big Derboski too! We had a helluva time playing surf shellac DIG?

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: Episode 8 - FAT STAX OF WAX by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

WOO Dunnit? ... RE-Dunnit!

YO FINKS on this day, April 25th, back in the year 2013, during the early days of the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000, I was listening to the radio and I spun a little too far to the left and went BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL! I heard something that I never heard before...

It was friggin' weird! I mean the dude looks like me... and he sounds like me... but geeze louise, what's up with the Private Eye schtick? HEH beats me but I dig it! I also dug the music I heard too. Lots of really cool surf that sounds like it could be out of an ol' film-noir detective film or even some James Bond secret agent man flicks. I liked what I heard when I went BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL so I recorded it and gave you finks a chance to listen to something real kool. But back then, I didn't have the equipment and experience I have now so the recording left a bit to be desired... So I figured, ya know what, I know what I'm doing nowadays, why not go and fix up that ol' recording to celebrate WOO Dunnit's one-year anniversary? So that's what I did and here it is for you now!

WOO Dunnit?... Re-Dunnit! by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

All nice and polished up for you finks! Aren't I such a nice guy? HEH! Here's the playlist that I pieced together. I hope you dig a lil bit of spy surf!

Some new stuff has been coming to light. If you've been tuned in to the Big Surf, some real wacky stuff has been going on... First, it was the end of the world...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 EP12: THE END by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

Then I found myself stuck in the Nuclear Apocalypse...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

But I can't be stopped and so I travelled through the atomic wasteland in search of a time machine hidden in an old arcade...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD PART II Episode 14 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

That arcade being Bumper City. Before the end of the world, it was a real bustlin' arcade packed to the gills with pinball!

Bumper City - Down at The Arcade by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

I found the time machine but things didn't quite go the way I wanted to and I ended up getting lost in time and space. I found out that there is this place, the uh... "The Axis of Time". According to the research I've been doing since I have arrived here, "The Axis of Time" exists between time and space, essentially the center of the universe and there is this big ol' computer, I think it's operating system DB683, that monitors all sorts of alternate realities that contain their own history and characteristics and, of course, their own Big Derboski!

Surfphony of Derstruction SOULED OUT by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

What a guy! "Hollywood" Derk Brigante's ego has gotten a little big what with all the hot air he's blowing. Can't complain about the tunes he plays, though it's take-it-or-leave-it for me when it comes to the black'n'white.

Mr. Hollywood is the man with the most to boast, it seems! Enough about him though. this overgrown NES out here in the Axis of Time, DB683, has informed me that it monitors all the realities and works to prevent any time paradoxes from coming about and screwing everything up. That's apparently where I come into play. I was supposed to remain in the nuclear wasteland and have some bad stuff happen to me (I swear this computer despises me) but I decided to challenge fate and travel back in time to a time before the end of the world. Preferably a coupla hours before I showed up at Count Von Derkula's party so I could go to the beer store! I really should have brought my own beer instead relying on the generosity of the ghouls in attendance...

Surfphony of Derstruction B000 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

Because whatever I drank led to a pretty nasty paranormal hangover!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: Episode 11 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

 But from what D683 told me, if I had successfully gone back in time, gone to the beer store and turned down Satan's brew, I could have been in big trouble. Instead of the end of the world in my reality, I could have caused multiple realities to collapse within mine due to time paradoxes, me existing on multiple planes within the same universe, what-have-you. I don't know man, all this DATA that DB683 spews out makes my head spin. I just wanna hang ten! I'm gonna keep doing that no matter where I am, when I am, or how I am! WOOOOO! I'm Derk Brigante, not quite live but still alive here in the AXIS OF TIME and I will be bringing the surf to YOU every full moon when the tide is high baby! Keep tuned in for the next full moon on May 14th!

The Surfphony of Derstruction Presents: Lost at Sea

YO FINKS IT IS MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! THAT'S PRETTY COOL! This is my lil BRO SHANE JACKSON BIONDI CAN YOU DIG IT???

THAT'S RIGHT THE BIG DERBOSKI IS A BIG BROTHER AND IF YA MESS WITH HIM... YA MESS WITH US!

KNUCKLEHEDZ ... WE RECYCLE!

Are ya wondering what we're sittin' in? It's Shane's '40 GMC HOT ROD

BAD ASS!!

OK WHAT THE HECK AM I DOIN' HERE?? Well, as a small b-day present to him and TO YOU FINKS I GUESS, here's a lil something I cooked up...

The Surfphony of Derstruction Presents: Lost at Sea by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

Now, if The Big Derboski can be serious for a moment as this particular podcast doesn't really call for all the stylin' and profilin' necessary for a regular ol' episode of The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000. Yeah, this lil podcast is considered... off the record, in a way. I compiled a bunch of songs that have a real deserted island sound combined with crashing waves and the sounds of the surf... not only surf music but the sorta stuff ya hear by the ocean. Real calming stuff. So, if yer looking to chill and reminisce about the warm weather or you need some music to watch girls by on the beach then Lost at Sea is right up yer alley. I don't do any talking, just lots of surf, real nice! So just turn on, tune in and mellow out when you're... Lost at Sea.

SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000... AFTER DERK

UH OH!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, BABY!

DAG YO! The Big Derboski is out here wilin' in the nuclear apocalypse! How did I get down here? Well, it's a long story and I feel like regalin' this old tale so grab a seat, fink, cause it's time for a tall tale, ya dig?

OK so back in October during Count Von Derkula's nightmare mash on the Surfphony of Derstruction B000, I crashed the party to have a good time with all the ghouls 'n' ghosts. Never one to turn down a brew, I accepted a drink from Mr. Mephistopheles, SATAN HIMSELF. My judgment was a bit clouded from the bloody marys that Count Von Derkula was servin' up OK? So I downed the drink and, lemme tell you, I had one helluva hangover. Not only that but SATAN cursed the drink in order to open the gates of hell on Earth, using me as the vessel. This was documented on Episode 11 of the Surfphony of Derstruction but a little exorcising took care of that problem. That though was only one small part of the big picture though... The damage was already done even though I gave the ghouls a good ol' heave-ho and the dawn of the earth's destruction came to bear. I was not quite live but still alive on Episode 12 of the Big Surf to give you a low down on what was going down! All hell broke loose in Hell City and, as a professional, the Big Derboski sought to bring Surf to you finks despite the apocalypse... and here we are now!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

The Big Derboski is back in the new year, THE YEAR 20XX to bring you more Surf from around the Earth, although the Earth is not what it once was... Oh no, it's now the NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE OH MAN!

Despite the nuclear winter that much of the world has been thrown into, I'm doin OK... good enough to bring you more surf on this full moon WOOOO!!!

The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: The Lost Tapes

This episode comes from back in 2011 after I had left CJAM. A couple of months after I graduated and left the Windsor, I took a shot at putting together a new Surfphony podcast that could also be played on CJAM weekly. My plan was to get a couple of episodes complete then send them over to CJAM and continue making episodes. It didn't come to fruition as it turned out making 1 hour podcasts once a week was pretty tough. Now, the Big Derboski is going to confide in ya so I hope I can trust ya... Haha, it's all good! OK, to be blunt, I wasn't quite happy with these episodes and just didn't feel like they really lived up to my expectations. I haven't touched them since I made them but they're cool to listen to and see where a few ideas came from and to look at the evolution between live on CJAM 99.1 FM and not quite live but still alive here on the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000!

THAT'S MY LITTLE PRESENT TO YA! T'IS THE SEASON FOR SURFIN' YA DIG?!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: Episode 5 - GREAT LAKES SURF BATTLE by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

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!

WOO Dunnit? by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

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!
