I had a great time seeing music last night at Light Club Lamp Shop. It was the final night of Matthew Bryan Hagen‘s Shocktober Thursday series. I got myself in and settled as Surf Sabbath took the stage. As you would guess from the name, the band play instrumental versions of Black Sabbath songs rearranged in a surf rock style. You know, all the doom and gloom, but a lot more notes. They opened with a long looping storm sound that led into Black Sabbath. Up next they took us Into The Void then we rolled up a Sweet Leaf. Am I Going Insane was a fun addition to the set then we rose up, we Children Of The Grave. We experienced a Wicked World for a while then punched a Hole In The Sky. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath followed then they closed with War Pigs. i zipped out the door as the last note was trailing off to get my radio show ready to go.

I really want to thank Matt for an incredible run of shows this month. I can’t wait to see what he has in mind for us next.
