Beach Borscht Babylon: Meshugga Beach Party
Alright boychiks and goyim, get ready for some righteous reverb from the chosen surfers:
Meshugga Beach Party at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge
Meshugga Beach Party played at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge’s first anniversary party this weekend (which was a blast, by the way… here are my pics). I hadn’t heard of them before, but quite a few folks in the crowd had. From my photo above, you probably have them pretty well figured out — they perform traditional Jewish folks songs as surf tunes. And they perform in full Hasidic regalia (those beards must get awfully itchy). But the best part: they’re really good. I’m not a surf music aficianado, but I run in a pretty surf-savvy circle, and there was high praise for Meshugga Beach Party all around.

Wish I’d been there…:-(
Did you happen to get a copy of the Jack Chick-style tiki tract that Soren was handing out?

I did! As a matter of fact, I’m working on getting it posted to Humu Kon Tiki right now…

Excellent. I asked him to scan it for me, but he’s being a poopyhead.

It’s posted! I started off scanning it, but it took away the grotty feel of it, so I photographed it instead.

Oh, I wish I’d known! I would have liked to thank you in person for putting that cool snack bar clip on YouTube.

I had no idea you were local until I saw this post.
