Surfer Blood

After an exhausting CMJ full of shows including the BV party at Pianos on Thursday (10/22), Surfer Blood are back as part a tour that keeps them on the road for the next month. They open shows for both Art Brut and Japandroids along the way. The Florida band is one of two openers for Art Brut at Brooklyn Bowl tonight (11/13). The other is Midnight Masses.

Right before CMJ it was announced that Surfer Blood signed to Kanine Records. The Brooklyn label will release their album Astro Coast on January 19, 2010. Art Brut also plays Bowery Ballroom on Sunday (11/15), but the openers on that show are Jeffrey Lewis and Murder Mystery.

i don't get the hype around this band...i've tried to give it a chance but i can't get through it...seems like another hyped up blog band that won't stick

I saw this band play during CMj and it was awful. A bad mix of Weezer and Vampire Weekend.

Nah, they rocked. Pretty good tunes from some really young dudes.

I mean, they're not, nor should they be the next big anything, but they're not hate-worthy.

yeah - i just dont see how this band is getting so much hype

what a boring fucking band.

If they were dressed like MGMT trustafarians BV readers would be creaming their pants over this band. But they're dressed like Vampire Weekend, so they're gonna be treated like VW.

You hipsters are so edgy!

By all means, hate on some teenagers from Florida that write catchy songs and are getting a modicum of attention from sources way outside the mainstream. They're totally worthy of your ire.

you know what's boring? assholes who hate everything and are resentful of anybody getting attention.

BV hater commenters: go masturbate. it's a more productive use of your fingers

"Off topic-- why are there so many British people hanging around brooklyn?? Fick off get out"

mate, you can just fuck right off! Do you american wankers have any clue of the fact that all of the music that comes out of your country is the laughing stock of the entire rest of the world? Nobody outside the US takes your shit serious, so stop winging and go back to eating your meatloaf, driving your fork lift and listening to Guns N Roses! Fucking bell end.

I agree. Decent songs, no more, no less. Don't mind seeing them as an opening band. MUCH better than Midnight Masses. Now that is a band that sucks.

that's funny 2:27, cause we invented blues and rock n roll. what did you do? oh yeh, you ripped it off.

Posted by Anonymous | November 14, 2009 11:27 AM

their show at Pianos was pretty boring. However, their new album is pretty catchy. In no way are they the next big thing, but for a band that has only been playing a couple of months I'm impressed.

Fuck off, 9:13. Midnight Masses were much better than that weak Vampire Weekend mess.

Just LOL at 11:27. All you stupid American pleb heads do nothing but winge.

Winge

Winge

Winge.

Yeah you may have "invented" blues and rock, who are your ambassadors again? Oh yeah. Elvis. Tony Orlando. Jerry Lee Lewis. The Mamas and the Papas. Bob Seger. Lenyrd Skynrd. Metallica. I could go on. But don't credit us, we only had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton. Totally people who bastardized the sound!

They look pretty neat (relatively)... BUT nope, their songs just won't do.

This band really rocks! They undeniably rock the music scene with their amazing talent and of course, their unique style of performance. I sure that the dates posted above are filled with their fans who are very happy to see them!
