"480 Minutes" - new Surfer Blood

Tune in today for your chance to win tickets for the upcoming Lumerians/Wax Idols show at The Chapel tomorrow (Saturday, June 8th).  When you hear a song by either band during today's edition of 480 Minutes (9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pacific Time), get in touch (contact info below).  It promises to be a great gig, so buy advance tickets here and, if you win, make a group event out of it and bring friends with your already purchased tickets!

Just for the record, last night I fill-in Djed a funk/soul/R&B set at Bottom of the Hill spinning music by the likes of Lulu, Funkadelic, B.T. Express, Spanky Wilson, The Bar-Kays, and a couple of dozen other artists.  By most accounts it did not suck.

Today's edition of 480 Minutes will see the debut of new songs by CSS (São Paulo, Brazil), Eleanor Friedberger (Brooklyn, NY), Feathers (Austin, TX), Grey Gordon (Fort Wayne, IN), The Mantles (San Francisco, CA),  Mixhell (São Paulo, Brazil),  The Multiple Cat (Davenport, IA), Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds (Washington, D.C.), Rogue Wave (Oakland, CA), Sonny and the Sunsets (San Francisco, CA), Surfer Blood (West Palm Beach, FL), and What Model Citizens (Brooklyn, NY).
