More Surf in the 'Burgh

Thanks to everyone who came out to Moondogs on Saturday (Sept. 28).  It was a small but enthusiastic crowd.  The Turbosonics bring it.  Always.  Please post your photos and videos to facebook or email them to us.

We had quite a few requests on Saturday.  We are working on a few new tunes and we'll be sure to include some of your fine suggestions.  Here's a couple videos of the tunes people suggested:

The Arondies '69 (Pittsburgh surf rock from waaaaaaayyyyy back)

The Ventures, "Diamondhead"

Duane Eddy "Rebel Rouser" (kickin it with the Late night band)

Our next show is at the Obey House Tavern in Crafton, PA - just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.  We're planning the show and we'll let you know our special guests once we nail down the details.

We are also wonderin' if that big yella duck in the river can surf.  We'd like to see it on big wave, how 'bout you?
