Thalia Surf Presents: The Wax Ball Vol. 3
January 9, 2012
Thursday, January 12th @ The Marine Room Tavern, Laguna Beach CA
With Live Performances By:
Quest?ons – A new prog rock band that hails from right here in Laguna Beach and consists of 4 incredibly talented rockers, who also rip at surfing and being rad.
Matt McCluer – Vocalist and guitar player for the band The Sweet Sweet Things, McCluer is a Costa Mesa man with a twangy blues rock style all his own. He’s so far released 3 solo albums with no end in sight and may be bringing some special guests along with him to play.
The Wax Ball is a monthly music showcase hosted at The Marine Room, Laguna’s oldest bar [1930s] which happens to be owned by the towns mayor. Laguna is world renowned for its artists and creativity, but the town is void of any good music. 80s night and reggae parties dominate the scene and the local surf community has been forced to head out of town for good surf rock, punk, blues, and garage. The Wax Ball, presented by Thalia Surf and sponsors, will fill this void, bringing something to Laguna Beach that hasn’t been here since the 60?s, music worth seeing, supporting, and following.
The Wax Ball happens once a month, on the second Thursday, and is bringing a refreshing and eager crowd to The Marine Room. There is literally nothing else happening in terms of music anywhere in or surrounding Laguna and we feel that Thalia Surf and our friends are the ones who will do it the best.
Supporting sponsors include: Brixton, Raen Optics, and Deus Ex Machina

Thursday Tunage: Greensleeves by The Lords
January 5, 2012
Get ready for the German rock group from the early sixties and who are still around today, just not the complete original lineup. These guys were a semi-comedy troupe of a band, kind of like the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band of Britain (another great mid sixties band). The fact that these dudes are dressed like pirates and have medieval haircuts really makes this live footage of them in 1966 all the better.

Thursday Tunage: Black Water by Timber Timbre
December 29, 2011
December in California this year has been nothing short of epic. We decided to post this song up for all of you who aren’t getting what we’re getting: sunshine. Hailing from Canada, eh, we present Timber Timbre, and their song Black Water, which was released this year on their album Creep On Creepin’ On, a haunting, swampy album that has some pretty awesome tracks. Try these guys out, you’ll dig this one!

POLYESTER – A Surf Film by Jack Coleman Now Available
December 20, 2011
Polyester Surf DVD is when true visual expression meets the artistry of surfing. The film features the surfing life of California’s Al Knost.
Polyester is independent filmmaker Jack Coleman’s first feature length surf film, running time is 35 minutes. The film is a completely independent production, with no branding. Shot, edited, and produced entirely by Jack Coleman. A surf film captured all ‘in camera’ with no digital imagery or after effects. Polyester took one-year to complete. Featured locations in project were Mainland Mexico, Central Baja, and a lot of the famous Southern California surf spots that Alex frequently visits. The supporting casts of surfers in Polyester include: Ford Archbold, Tanner Prairie, & Jared Mell. Both Jack Coleman and Al Knost are currently living in Costa Mesa, California. This new surfing DVD features an insane soundtrack as well with tunes by White Fence, Ty Segall, The Growlers, Tomorrow’s Tulips, old Vincent Gallo, and some other awesome tracks. We at Thalia Surf truly believe Jack Coleman is on to something here, Polyester is definitely ahead of the game in terms of film making, editing, and production. Pretty hard to believe this is Jack’s first film.

Hey Folks,
Quality Peoples is working on a very cool project in collaboration with Hand Me Upsand PEACE. Hand Me Ups is raising $7500 to come down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (where I live) to help rehabilitate PEACE’s community center, which sorely needs it. You might recognize PEACE, we donate a portion of our profits to them They are a non-profit organization that provides all kinds of education and services to the communities in the Puerto Vallarta area. Hand Me Ups’ project is called “The International Helping Hands Tour and Puerto Vallarta is the first stop.
Hand Me Ups’ fundraiser project is set up with a bunch of awesome pledge levels (similar to Kickstarter). Quality Peoples is donating a limited edition collaboration tshirt we created with Hand Me Ups and we are also donating two designs from our Spring Summer 12 collection which isnt out in stores yet. Cast of Vices and Fresh Words are also donating items and the higher pledge levels have some great items as well.
Hand Me Ups has a great video about introducing the project and more info here:

Sincerely,
// Ed

Thursday Tunage: The Mighty Hannibal – Jerkin’ The Dog
December 15, 2011
We introduce to you the mighty turban headed soul sensation known as The Mighty Hannibal. This track ‘Jerkin’ the Dog’ was recorded and released in 1965, a rad soulful, teen dance craze song. His life has been just as outlandish as his turban getup, becoming a soul singer, a pimp, a heroin addict, and yes, an elephant thief. Nonetheless he’s a timeless artist that brings the soul ’round hard. Other good tracks: ‘The Truth Shall Make You Free, Fishin’ Pole, and Hymn No. 5.
