Radio Free Bakersfield, along with Big Tiki Dude and Norman of the Ghastly Ones, have put together an awesome podcast in preparation for the upcoming Surf Guitar 101 Convention. You can get it from the RFB website, or by direct link to the MP3.

Although it veers more towards a vintage Estrus garage/punk lineup, with just one instro rock band on the bill, I’m bummed that I can’t make this festival. Heck, there’s a bunch of Euro festivals that I’d love to see – it’s too bad that the surf n’ garage rock scene is really happening over there, with little action happenin’ here (aside from the rockabilly fests in Vegas).
