surf rock weekend!
Posted May 8, 2012 - 12:08 pmLots of twangin was goin on this past weekend in New Jersey AND North Carolina. First, we returned to our favorite Jersey saloon, Roxy n Dukes Roadhouse. We shared the evening with some very swell dudes, The Brigantines. You should take a second to check them out. It was Cinco de Mayo and the beers were goin round n round til we hit the stage. We blazed through some of our most high energy tunes and met lots of really nice people!
Following those good vibes was a nice long car ride to Chapel Hill, NC. We rolled up with plenty of time to feast and yeast at Carolina Brewery before heading to The Cave for the 2012 INSTRO SUMMIT! The guys and gals who attend the summit LOVE instrumental surf music so much that they nearly cleared out our CDs at the merch table! While there we were fortunate enough to catch some great bands like The Monterreys, Thee Icepicks, and The Concrete Rivals!
thats all for now, I need a nap!

While we’re at it, we’re throwing in a Hawaiian styled Luau in our hometown of Bethlehem, PA with Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica.
Next month, we continue to entertain beer lovers at the Harrisburg Brewers Fest! That will follow, of course, our first ever UnSteAdy FrEdDiE Surfin’ Safari at the Saint in Asbury Park. Now, all the while we are playing these great shows, we will be locked up in the basement preparing ourselves for our fourth ever performance of our live soundtrack to the movie POINT BREAK.

wet dogs and moosehead!
Posted April 27, 2012 - 2:33 pmWhat could I possibly mean by that, you say? Well, if you were at Some Kind of Jam 7 last night, you would know! Aside from sharing the stage with Muppet’s Titanium Stardust Machine, we were lucky enough to co-headline with rain and wind! That however, didn’t stop the kids from dancin and having a good time.
Big thanks to Jibberjazz productions for having us at another one of their festivals. Also, make sure to check out UNregular Radio from Boston. They were streaming our entire set live last night on the internet, and they plan on re-airing it in the near future!

The Ventures changed my life
Posted April 5, 2012 - 11:35 amNeedless to say, as a surf guitar player, The Ventures have had an amazing influence on what I do. Well last night I was able to open for them with my fellow White Caps, and we get to do it again on friday. What is happening! I am so stoked!

Hey everyone,
Looking forward to the next four days bringing lots of adventures in the north. We will be blowing through a few towns including Boston and Providence for the first time. I hope to see lots of you out there, smiling and dancing as always. Check back after the weekend for some musings from the road, and if you can’t wait until then just get on twitter and check out all the stupidness as it happens. Thanks folks, and remember if you see us don’t be a stranger and lets share a drink and a laugh!

Shoot some pool too, you’re gonna need practice for when Montag and I come back on 4/20 to wipe the tables with ya! Cheers, beers, and weirds!

Hey everyone,
Here are a bunch of new videos for your viewing enjoyment from our amazing show on New Years Eve. Thanks to everyone involved and in attendance, you all made it a wonderfully memorable evening. Check em out…
2012 and onward!
Posted January 6, 2012 - 3:31 pmSome pretty exciting things are going on around the GWC camp as we prepare for whats to come in 2012. Later this month we make our first national TV appearance on Late Night with Johnny P Show which airs on both the east and west coasts! We will announce the air time and show info as soon as that becomes available.
Also, we are extremely excited to share the stage with surf guitar legends and rock-n-roll hall-of-famers THE VENTURES in February! Truly an honor! Also in February we will make 4 appearances at our favorite PA brewpub for a Wednesday night “Beach Party in The Winter” residency at Appalachian Brewing Company! Aside from all that we have plenty of shows coming up with our friends Start Making Sense as always.
…and of course, there’s always something new for us right around the corner, so stay tubed!

2011 Wrapped-up! …almost
Posted December 22, 2011 - 9:53 amHappy Holidays everyone! As the Holidays and the end of the year approach, I find myself once again feeling reminiscent as I think back to all the adventures we had this year. And of course, mighty psyched for all the adventures on the horizon! Having the opportunity to travel around with our great friends Start Making Sense has been a great joy, I mean really, what could be better than two bands of friends rolling around and playing upbeat party music?! What better way to wrap it all up than an epic double header in our very own home town of Bethlehem, PA? I am pretty sure the Steel Stacks might literally lift off the ground on NYE as we turn the Musikfest Cafe into a virtual roiling and toiling sea of bodies and booze! If you are there be sure to shout extra loud because there will be filming throughout the night and if you want your own 15 seconds of fame you’re going to have to make an ass of yourself. Well, if you are reading this I am pretty sure making an ass of your self is part of your M.O. but just a reminder to be yourself.
As I look towards the new year I am excited to continue hitting the road and making more of you “tourists” along our endless summer beach jamz! A true highlight will be opening for The Ventures! I can’t believe I will be able to warm up the stage for a group which literally created the style of music I have devoted my life to. A true honor. We will also be doing a residency in Harrisburg at the Appalachian Brewing Company in February. What does this mean for you? You will be able to catch us the first four Wednesdays in February for a midwinter’s beach jam!
Thanks again to all the people who have been supporting us throughout 2011 and lets make 2012 even better!

Hey everyone! As we enter the Holiday season, us Great White Caps start to get all festive and crazy so we got together and set up our own little Santa’s workshop and pumped out some super cool treats for our December gigs! I don’t want to give away all the secrets so come on down and find out what we’ve got hiding in our sack! You can find us in Massachusetts this coming Friday and next week we have our hometown Christmas party set up with our great friends Rumplestiltskinz and His Dumpster Full of Sound, at the Funhouse! We will both be playing Holiday specific tunes as well as our normal sets full of mayhem and cheer. In other Festivus related news our Christmas EP, featuring our soon to be smashed hit “I’m Gonna Get Drunk For Christmas!”, will be available for download very shortly and we will also be selling a “Gift Card” of the album at upcoming shows as well. O Holy freaking Night, this Feliz Navidad business is off the stocking hook!!!! Hope to see you all soon, check out our video and get some cheer!
