Insect Surfers, Davie Allan & the Arrows at Safari Sam's
Praise be upon the Insect Surfers, one of a mere handful of performers dedicated to the noble and endangered instrumental form. Celebrating 20 years of nonstop whammy-bar hijinks, riptide riff-dealing and lysergic wipeouts, these stalwart guitar-slingers have established a punk-intensity, Dick Dale'scale brand of surf insanity so successfully that at one point they even won a Lava Lite endorsement (thanks to their standard practice of topping amps, a la Liberace, with the roiling novelties), and that kind of insinuation into pure pop culture is rare indeed. The Insects are teamed tonight with biker-fuzz instro godfather Davie Allan & the Arrows, a player whose shockingly raw yet subtly expressive guitar style definitively broke the Ventures-Wray-Eddy mold, circa '68. The show's guaranteed to be a nonverbal brawl of the first order.
