I’m thinking this post will be “today” in Australia, but the Manly Festival starts tomorrow for those of us in the U.S.

Manly Festival of Surfing 2009 (Australia)

Manly Festival of Surfing 2009 (Australia)

The is the debut of this surfing festival, which is actually not a music festival, but an actual surfing festival.  However, surfer or not, the music will be a draw for surf music fans.

The big band is The Atlantics. The Atlantics started back in the 60’s classic surf era, and had an internation hit with Bombora.

If you can make it, here’s more info on the music scene on their website: http://www.manlyfestivalofsurfing.com.au/
