Surf Wax returns this month with Band Of Pricks (featuring members of 4 or 5 Magicians and more) playing a set from Ohio’s finest, Guided By Voices! With just the 16 studio albums released between ‘87 and ‘04 to pick from, it promises to be a great night celebrating an awesome band.

We’ve moved home and are settling at the Old Blue Last, just round the corner from our old home of Catch. And the best bit is all nights will now be FREE entry! Pretty good hey, Millhouse?

Here’s the info for Surf Wax America #5. AKA our Christmas party…

The 5th Surf Wax America night, and the first at the Old Blue Last, promises to be the best one yet! JUMPING SHIPS will be on stage at 9pm to play a short set of their own material before coming back again at 10pm as the most fun Christmas covers band you’ve ever seen.

Before, between and after their sets we’ll have special guest DJs from BIG SCARY MONSTERS, PUNKTASTIC and more TBC, whilst THE 405 tear up the downstairs room. There’ll also be SANTA, ELVES, TOO MUCH FREE CHOCOLATE AND A BAGFUL OF PRESENTS… but only for the good boys and girls!

HUGE thanks to all who attended Surf Wax America #3 last night with The Attika State. The band were perfect and so were you. Anyone else notice Darwin Deez rocking out to some emo hits at the end of the night? I guess we’re cool now. There are a couple of videos on their way and we’ll be announcing #4 very soon. Stay tuned!

Surf Wax America is a club night ran by Big Scary Monsters & The 405. It runs on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at Old Blue Last in London. 

The night came about because we were both sick of pretentious club nights that lacked fun. Our club is all about letting your hair down, enjoying the music (not matter how cheesy) and having a lot of fun.

Each night has a different theme and includes a band doing a set of covers/original songs.
