Summer time and the living is easy. Forget your troubles. Forget the troubles of others. Embrace the surf, sun and sand. Doesn’t matter.  Surfboard, skimboard or swim fins – just flop yourself in that water. (Remember, sunscreen) Open up your ears to the Victoria Beach Summer Music Festival in Laguna Beach, California.

Up and running for nearly a decade, the VB festival brings together the best of the Southern California surf bands. Six string heaven, with hours of pure reverb love.

Bogus Slogan cut its teeth on the pioneers of surf music, whose songs, such as “Walk Don’t Run” and “Let’s Go Trippin'” defined the genre.” While the band has moved beyond its roots music, the guys never mind dusting off the old charts for the hits from their first EP, “Jumpstart” and album, “Shore Break.”

This 2005 concert included the premier cover band The Surfliners. Their specialty? Early Bogus Slogan. Talk about a small world. Both bands shared the stage for the good part of an hour riding the same musical waves.
