Beach Craft Bonanza - Sept. 2017

Beach Craft Bonanza is surf meets punk rock at its finest. They brought out tunes spanning almost 10 years, so be sure to check out their bandcamp, and the bandcamp of their previous bands! This will likely be our last set from Ripe Art Gallery (I’m moving to CT in April!), so I’m glad we got to go out with a bang. Thanks to anyone reading this for checking out what we’ve been doing, and to anyone who was able to make it out to our shows for supporting us over the past three years. We put everything we had into running this shindig, and I like to think that we made some sort of impact in our local scene because of it :)

Anyway, check out Beach Craft Bonanza’s full set below, or on Soundcloud if you’re mobile.

Fon Ghoul is like when you level up in an RPG and put all your points in the “math rock” skill. It’s a broken character, sure, but few can optimize the notes:time:melody ratio like these ghouls.

And huge thanks to Dan Woulfin for shooting some amazing photos for us. You can find him on Instagram for some more amazing shots of the LI music scene & more!
