[DID NOT ATTEND: December 2, 2021] Surfbort / Smirk / Dog Date / Pure Adult
Here’s another great show from Underground Arts that I didn’t get to.
I had not heard of Surfbort until a few days ago. They sound like an insanely fun band. I mean, look at the picture of them.
They also seem to be all kinds of boundaries pushing.
Here’s what their blurb says about them
Channeling inspiration from the 80’s punk scene to produce rousing, explosive music, their feedback strafed, guitar-shredding music says no to a digital age full of intolerance; they radiate love and friendship. All are welcome in the SURFBORT FREAK FAMILY!
That’s right up my alley. It’s a shame I found out about this show too late.
Smirk and Pure Adult were unknown to me.
Smirk is the solo project from Nick Vicario (who I don’t know). The music is wiry, well-crafted punk with heaps of hooks.
Pure Adult has this as a write up
Pure Adult is pure experimental punk shit.
You will listen to this noisy goodness and you will love it.
(although, if you’re only looking for catchy bops, you might hate it)
That sounds pretty great to me. And according to the videos below the longest set was 40 minutes.
Markit Aneight was there and recorded all four shows:
Pure Adult
Dog Date
Smirk
Surfbort
