Generic Surf Band at Red Dwarf's Sunday Brunch 6-30-24

We always dig the Sunday afternoon gigs when we can get home to our pup in time for her dinner and we can still get to bed at our usual time. Doesn't mean that we can always make it out for these - errands do take precedence - but they're fun when we can do it.

This afternoon was the Generic Surf Band's one year anniversary of playing Red Dwarf's Sunday Brunch (other brunchers include Thee Swank Bastards, natch, and the Surfer of Mercy, among others) and they made a great day of it with terrific tunes, cakes, treats, and, of course, drink and pizza specials!

It's always a pleasure seeing our old pal Marc swingin' on the drums and this afternoon bassist Ed and guitarist Phil were in fine form, as well. We got there a little late but they had a packed house - I've rarely seen Red Dwarf as crowded - and they blasted through a set of surf classic, a few oddball numbers and some terrific garage tunes like the Yardbirds' "Heartful of Soul". Great song choices and fine performances all around, including a little sit-in by bartendress Daisy (shout out to her and Sara for dealing with the crowd!), along with hip videos in the background and, especially for the anniversary - Free T-Shirts!

Good time was had by all and a great vibe from Red Dwarf! Thanks to the RD team and to the GSB for a fun afternoon!
