The Red Fox Tails are stoked to be playing the opening night of the inaugural San Diego Surf Film. The festival is happening May 11 to 13 at the mind-blowing Birds Surf Shed!

Here’s a little blurt from them:

The inaugural San Diego Surf Film Festival welcomes one and all to celebrate the passion that we all share for just being in the ocean. Since Bruce Brown sent shockwaves throughout the world with “Endless Summer” the surf film has become a staple in our lives. Surfing and surf cinema alike have been developed by individuals with a deep passion for trying to capture and preserve the very special feeling of just being a surfer. And they will continue to do so long after every one has gone home.

Here’s the schedule for the first night:

FRIDAY MAY 11TH – OPENING NIGHT

•6:00-7:00PM: Live music by The Red Fox Tails
•7:00-7:30: Ted Smith dedication/ City of San Diego proclamation
•7:30-8:15: SIGHT/SOUND w/ BLUE SWAY
•8:15-8:45: Intermission – Food, refreshments and raffle
•8:45-10:30: LOST & FOUND
•10:30-1:30: After Party @ The Griffin. Music by The Mattson 2

This 3 day festival promises to be Rad! Check it out!

Aloha….
After months of musical brewing we are set to release our next batch of music. We’ve got a working album title of “Aloha” and are lucky to have artwork from the talented artist Susan Wickstrand adorn the cover. A Susan Wickstrand art piece is our “Drop In” EP cover too, so there’s a bit of a theme here, and we love it!

The musical recipe for “Aloha” includes such tasty numbers such as the Link Wray-inspired “Poseidon”, the Flamenco meets Dick Dale swagger of “Yuca Frita” and the soothing, desert-tinged Psychedelia of “Rancho Santa Fe”. We enlisted some musical associates on several tracks…including the formidable saxophonist/reedman David Burnett on the bossa nova inspired “Para Todos” as well as an enigmatic vocal number with singer and freestyle rapper Reina Mystique on “Fly like a Bird/Blue Gill”.

We’ll be previewing a song or two within the next few weeks, so until then, come out to one of our upcoming shows and feed your ears and soul with some musical goodness.

Next Show: March 11 @ Solace and The Moonlight Lounge in Encinitas, CA 7 – 9pm

It’s been a while since we last posted something, so here’s just a little of what is to come in the new year. We are working on a follow-up release to last years “Drop In” EP, it’s being mixed and mastered by Mike Hogan of Crescent City Music and should be available very soon. So far the album sounds killer! We are exploring different sounds with this release, we have added some acoustic guitar-based tunes that lend a nice texture to our already widely expanding sound. You’ll hear some Sax and even a guest vocal spot on a tune that is sure to help jump start the party.

We are thinking of putting this out as a 7 or 9 song EP, we feel that bite-sized morsels are easier to digest in this high-paced world. That being said, we will most likely be releasing another EP towards the end of the year too! We have TONS of material, so we are excited to be able to record it ourselves. We’ve also been thinking about putting out some 3 song singles, hopefully on vinyl, so makes sure you get a record player! We will also have some merchandise this year, last year, our shirts sold out, this year we hope to have a new design available for all our stylish fans.

Gigs: We have some open to the public gigs coming up this month. This Wednesday Feb 1 at The Leucadian in Leucadia, CA and Feb 7 at The El Dorado with The Mattson 2. Both of these shows are free and will be an excellent time! Check our shows page to stay up to date.

Thanks to all our friends, family and fans!

Pretty excited to share a first look at the CDs.  The first opportunity to buy this CD will be at the release party this Saturday, Aug 6th, at Surfindian, in Pacific Beach, CA.  Details below.  Special special special thanks to all that worked on the production and design:

Thomas Yearsley, Producer,  Thunderbird Studios

“Drop in with The Red Fox Tails features 7 original tunes that bring to mind the retro sounds of 60′s surf, jazz, soul and exotica, while maintaining a fresh feel throughout the 7 tracks. With song titles such as Skatedeck, Hit It and Peking at Sunset, the latter of which features some beautiful pedal steel playing by Thomas Yearsley, you can expect to be taken away to far off destinations without ever leaving your home.”

Come join us for a Summer Party at Surfindian as we listen to the amazing tunes of The Red Fox Tails for their CD Release Party, and host a closing party for Kevin Roche & Susan Wickstrand’s show, “The Wild Ones”. Wickstrand did the artwork for the album, and if you haven’t had an opportunity to see “The Wild Ones” show this would be the time. We’ll also have some curb site catering available through SD Street Eats food truck, good times. Families welcome, we hope to see you there. Starts at 6:30 and Admission is Free!
