Known to the young ones as a two footed nose manual. This is so old no one can do it but me. Not exactly true, but close enough. If you remember who Ty Page was, contact me! The end of a great Sunday afternoon at Campbell Skate Park (CSP). 8/27/2006

Sunday 8/27/2006 at Campbell Skate Park. I drug out the tripod to document stuff. My fall the day before in the half pipe scared me, so I taped myself doing old stuff. I love to walk the dog! I can do a toe spin. I am amused.

Subject: [Pollodelmar] September shows- Dick Dale, The Kilaueas (from Germany) and SF City Hall

Hiya Pollo fans,
September is turning out to be a very fun month...
On September 9, we will open for Dick Dale (you know who he is,  
right?) at the haunted Brookdale Lodge. Brookdale is in the Santa  
Cruz mountains, and the Lodge has a nice restaurant and rooms, so why  
not make an evening out of it?

Sunday September 10 we will back at The Hotel Utah for another  
fantastic show. Opening up are our buds The Pyronauts, and headlining  
will be (all the way from Germany) The Kilaueas. They are a pounding  
trad band, with 2 CDs on the Double Crown label. They are on a West  
Coast only tour, and we are lucky to get them for a Sunday Surf Party  
show. Check out this video of the Kilaueas performing "Caravan":
and the Kilaueas home page is at:
The Giants game doesn't start until 5 that day, so there will be  
plenty of parking around the Hotel Utah.  The Utah allows minors, but  
they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Hotel Utah is  
at fourth and Bryant in San Francisco. Doors at 2, music starts at 3.

September 16, Pollo del Mar plays outside City Hall in San Francisco.  
We start at noon.
September 22, Pollo plays 3 sets at the Park Chalet. 1000 Great  
Highway at Ocean Beach, we start at 8:30, all ages welcome.

And something to look forward to: Last year in Japan, we had the a  
chance to play with The Whys from Fukuoka. Liked 'em so much we  
offered to set up a US tour for them. Look for Bay Area dates the  
first week of November, and SoCal dates the second week. In the  
meantime, check out their myspace page for pictures and music:

THANKS!!!
The Pollos

Go Jimmy Go in Santa Cruz 1/2

Watch the video
They played a great show at The Attic on Sunday 8/21/2006. There were maybe 100 people max, and there was lots of room for skanking. My camera was on the speaker stack for this shot, and I think the video and audio turned out great.

They played a great show at The Attic on Sunday 8/21/2006. There were maybe 100 people max, and there was lots of room for skanking. I've reduced the size and video quality for these 3 clips that are spliced together. They were dark and too far away. The sound is alright.

The English Beat in San Jose 8/5 Thursday

I saw them 2 weeks ago in Santa Cruz. They were great. Dave
Wakeling has much better musicians with him, including the guitarist
from the Specials. They played a couple of great Specials songs and
all of the great Beat songs. If you live in the South SF Bay and
don't go to this, you will probably go to hell and have to listen to
emo crap for eternity. Don't take a chance!

Metro's Music in the Park
Next Concert: August 10
The English Beat
(ska revival/new wave)

The Odd Numbers
myspace.com/theoddnumbers

Alice @97.3
This show complements the ISEA/Zero One arts and technology symposium

The English Beat (some of the following is wrong, not my fault)
Considered one of the most important and earliest ska groups
The Beat’s saxaphonist Saxa played with the likes of Elvis and The
Beatles
The Beat has toured with well-known artists such as REM, David Bowie
and The Police
Has a history of politically charged songs such as “Free Nelson Mandela”
Gained popularity in Australia and the UK
The Beat has regrouped with original member Ranking Roger’s son on
vocals and Andy Hamilton’s son, Mark Hamilton, on saxophone.

The Odd Numbers
San Jose band features Dave Baisa (vocals/guitar), Dave Miller (bass/
backing), and John Cummings (drums/backing vocals).
Heavily influenced by the 60s beat such as Motown, The Who, and The Jam.
In 1997 opened for a Pearl Jam concert in Santa Cruz
Band member Dave Baisa says about San Jose, "We have a good reception
in San Jose. It has always been good for us. I wish every place was
San Jose, actually."

San Jose summers wouldn’t be the same without Music in the Park,
Downtown's most anticipated concert series. Thanks everyone for
coming out to enjoy alternative, R&B, reggae, rock and jazz in free
Thursday night performances.

5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
