Playing at the Surfer Joe Summer Festival for a surf band is the best thing that can ever happen. Especially for an Italian band, that fights every day, is simply amazing arriving there and discover many surf bands! After 5 hours of travel, we arrived at Fortezza Vecchia in Livorno. It seemed a film western scene! We were scared because a mexican guy could kill us in every moment! Instead hawaiian shirt, shorts and sunglasses were the uniforms when people started to came at the location.
Guitars, stands, reverbs, vinyls and vintage clothes were around us. At 6 o'clock we started with our soundcheck and at half past we started our set. We were very excited and Diego on the first "one, two, three, four" was really insecure but playing the first song he felt the atmosphere very amazing.
We are very happy because the present people appreciated our strange surf sound, a mix of western and fuzzy (dance in one moment!) attitude. After us on the stage: Los Fantasticos (UK), The Wavers (IT), Psycho Surfers (IT), The Space Rangers (ND). At 9 o'clock on the stage were Surfer Joe and His Boss Combo a really amazing Italian surf band. The headliners were The Bambi Molesters (CRO) actually one of the best instrumental surf band of world. One hour-set that made people became crazy!
