We’ve passed our initial goal, and will have funds to cover promotional and advertising expenses. Any additional funds raised from this point on will go towards making more CD’s. It looks like we’ll go through the first thousand pretty quickly, but it’ll cost $1500 or so to make another thousand discs.

There are lots of great bonus items available at different donation levels. Any size donation helps though. Help us spread the word about surf music!

When I first started Double Crown Records back in 1996, Norton was one of the first labels I got into when discovering surf and vintage rock n’ roll. Those early Phantom Surfers and Untamed Youth LP’s were played non-stop as I transitioned from grunge to surf rock, and I soon fell in with a group of people that appreciated the sound that Norton was delivering.

Sadly, I won’t be in New York for the big fest, but will be glued to the blogosphere for reports, and hopefully some YouTube videos will show up as well. We have a couple of trusty reporters on the scene, Benny of The Beechwoods and Gerhard of The Krontjong Devils, who will submit a feature for the upcoming issue of The Continental Magazine.

Just looking at this line up makes me cry with the disappointment of not being there:

5.6.7.8’s, ALARM CLOCKS, PHANTOM SURFERS, GAYE BLADES, DEX ROMWEBER DUO, NOR-TONES, QUESTION MARK AND THE MYSTERIANS, RANDY FULLER FOUR, UNTAMED YOUTH, LUIS AND THE WILDFIRES, HENTCHMEN, DADDY LONG LEGS, GINO WASHINGTON, ANDRE WILLIAMS, MELVIN DAVIS, DAVE “BABY” CORTEZ, REIGNING SOUND, JACKIE AND THE CEDRICS, MARK SULTAN, GREAT GAYLORD, THE SONICS, REAL KIDS, TANDOORI KNIGHTS, A-BONES, FIGURES OF LIGHT, BLOODSHOT BILL
