STAY TUNED FOR THE RETURN OF THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION... 2000!

SoD 2000 Update and HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN

HEY FINKS!!

I know... I know... I haven't been seen for a month or two now and I did say that The Surfphony is back! Well, in some capacity! I've been working hard on getting things together for the new start-up, didn't want to dive in headfirst and get caught in the undertow, YA DIG? So, I've been trying to put together the first few episodes of The S.o.D. 2000 before I release them! That way, you get a METRIC TON of Surf right away and I don't get caught up trying to rush things each week.

In the meantime, I have been working on a couple of projects besides The Surfphony 2000!

HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN



60 minutes of SOME SERIOUSLY HEAVY METAL! If you dig 80's Heavy Metal, then this will be right up your alley! Packed with bands such as ACCEPT, W.A.S.P., EXODUS, GIRLSCHOOL, BLACK SABBATH and way more! THE HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN IS FAST AND LOUD AND NEVER SLOWS DOWN!

DOWNLOAD IT HERE!

I also handed out a couple of Demos to a few folks at a show in Oshawa. If you happened to stumble upon this site, Welcome to The Surfphony of Derstruction!

We have a Facebook page! Come check it out! Like us too, because I usually post more there!

Can't forget to give credit where credit is due! Thanks to Dollaberry of DeviantArt for the awesome leather texture I used on Heavy Metal Meltdown and the background for the Surfphony Logo!

And to everyone (all two of you) who are patiently waiting for the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 to get back on the road, just hold on a little longer and your dreams will come true!

STAY TUNED!!

Dave Konstantino of Revolution Rock and Chris Crossroads of Deliverance dropped by to hang ten with the 60-Minute Maniac, THE BIG DERBOSKI, Derk Brigante, to celebrate! WHAT FOR? There's a reason I call myself the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be, because I AM. 2011 CJAM'S VOLUNTEER OF THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG YEAR! WOOOOOOOOO! So, I figured, as my first episode as CHAMPION, I would play my favorite tracks from the shows gone by, as well as a couple chosen out by BIG DAVE

ARTIST	SONG TITLE

the rhythm surfers	502 (like getting piched on a 502)
shadowy men on a shadowy planet	misogomy and the object
the gruesomes	whirlpool
urban surf kings	phantom riders of the backlot
shadowy men on a shadowy planet	popcorn
lost patrol	commanche
the nobles	earthquake
dick dale	the victor
mr gasser and the weirdos	BIG BAD SURFINK!!

This show was fun as hell to do! It was a good time having Dave and Chris in but I kept getting distracted, hahaha! So, a lot of tracks were picked at the very last second but that doesn't matter because it all sounded OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SO GOOD!!

I finally found a decent version of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet's Popcorn and I was very excited to play it for all the great listeners tuned in!


Here's the number that we started the show off with: The Original Surfaris with BOMBORA
