Mercury Lounge Surf Night
Thursday, May 31, 2007
The historic Mercury Lounge in Goleta the Goodland is having a surf night this Saturday, June 2nd which includes a Glas film and the the bands Kelp and Riptide.
This Saturday, June 2nd, relax and get ready for a great evening of surf music and film with long-time Mercury favorites Kelp. Before and after the musci, we are proud to present the new glas film project - FIELD OF VISION.
Kelp plays modern surf music and traditional classics from the heyday of the surf scene. Coming out of the garage above Rincon Point in April, 1996, Kelp has played up and down the California Coast. Like the mix of songs, a mix of traditional spring reverb with modern digital enhancements and stereo amplification gives Kelp a big and thoroughly modern sound. Influences range from the inimitable Dick Dale and Paul Johnson to modern bands such as The Mermen, The Insect Surfers, Brazil 2001 and Savage Republic.
Opening for Kelp will be our own Johnny Morneau's band RIPTIDE - A new Santa Barbara surf band featuring members of RAM-BUNK-SHUSH. These boys are seasoned pros and we cant wait to hear what they've got going on.
Field of Vision: a surf travelogue that follows the glas team riders and other standouts along a dreamlike journey.The film carries you from the tip of the Baja peninsula up the California coast and out to the Hawaiian Islands. Take a look deep into the sights , sounds and thoughts from the journey with detailed attention to dramatic angles, lighting and color themes.
