Event Description Domenic Priore, Brian Chidester, and The Boardwalkers will appear at
Stories books, cafe, goods (1716 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles – near
the corner of Echo Park Boulevard) on Saturday, February 21st from 6
to 9 p.m. The event is to celebrate the release of the
Chidester/Priore book “Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film and
Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom” (Santa Monica Press). The book
traces surfing and Hawaiian music’s potent combo during early 20th
Century Waikiki, directly to its landing on California shores, and
their development into a true bohemian subculture by the late
1950s/early 1960s. Focus on Tiki, Surf instrumentals, Surf movies,
Surf duds in the pre-1970 environment of Southern California is also
offset by a look into Waikiki’s Lounge scene of the ’60s, and later
revivals of Surf music during the punk/alt rock days as it mixed with
Burlesque, Tiki culture and other things you are most likely a part
of. So come down and have a ball, its FREE with live Surf
instrumental music by The Boardwalkers and pre-1970 surfing movies
projected throughout Stories’ book store.
