Musical Non-Geniuses At Work

Hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? Why not my living room? Your friends in the DIB have decided to try and do a demo CD we can send out to....well, whoever it is that musicians send out demos to. We haven't gotten that far yet. We don't have a single track laid. What we DO have is an album name (which is double secret), enough original music to take a shot, the hardware to perhaps actually pull it off, and a lot of attitude. So who knows? Better stay tuned.

A Double Shot of The Desert Island Band!

A double shot of the Desert Island Band on BeachFront Radio! We are digging our fifteen minutes, baby!

For A Good Time, Call Dan. And Roger. And Randy. Or Even Crime Dog. Just Call.

What are you doing tomorrow night? Looking for some incredible acoustic blues and the most fun you can have with your clothes on? Well then, join Crime Dog as he joins The Winers with Dan "Chili" Creed to make some music and fun at My Wine Cellar in 'Tukee.. This is a great band at a great wine bar with some great food (Try the pizza. We wouldn't lie to you. At least not about pizza.). OK, so it ain't exactly TropRock, but it's fun and fantastic and Dan is our guy, so we'll see you there!

Who Knew TropRock and Paranoia Could Work Together? Bob Karwin, Of Course.

We can't wait to hear the new album being produced by Bad Boy Bob Karwin. His latest release, "Sand Dollar Millionaire" was among 2010's best in the world of TropRock, and something tells us this one will be right up there in that rareified air as well.

Y'know, the Desert Island Band is just four guys who love music and live to play for friends, smiles, and the occasional bar tab. But Bob and the rest of your Left Coast TropRockers are as good as it gets, friends. Get behind them and stay behind them!

Monday, February 21, 2011 @ 3:40 PM...The Desert Island Band debuts on BeachFront Radio!!! We couldn't be happier or more humbled. Thank you Capt'n Cali, DJ Jeff, Cheeto Gyrl, and everybody who came out last Friday to the live show that produced this recording. What a night! Wow!

Keith Sykes In Concert - Don't Miss This!

Hey, whatever else you might have planned for Saturday, March 12th,  change it! You're going to want to take that afternoon to sit outdoors in the gorgeous Arizona sunshine and visit with the legendary Keith Sykes. Keith is an unsurpassed performer and songwriter, not to mention a former Coral Reefer. You may know him as the guy who wrote "Volcano," but Keith has written so many great songs that he'll make you forget all about that one. His "Coast of Marseilles" (covered by Jimmy Buffett on "Son of a Son of a Sailor) is a song so hauntingly beautiful that it alone is worth the price of admission.
Details on the house concert can be found here. We hope to see you at the show!

BeachFront Radio Comes To the Valley of the Sun!!!

Well, we can hardly believe it! The Desert Island Boys are still high on last night's great show at Garcia's in Mesa with Capt'n Cali and DJ Jeff from BeachFront Radio! What an honor and privilege just to hang out with them and to share the stage with our great friends and fantastic musicians The Great Ray Cody and Dan "Chili" Creed!

Capt'n Cali and DJ Jeff even asked all of us to sign their BeachFront tour banner, which we all did with great relish. It was only when looking more closely today at the photo taken of the banner that we realized our autographs are right next to Coral Reefer great Michael Utley's! Holy crap, what an honor!

You may actually be able to catch a few highlights of  last night's show on BeachFront Radio in the next few days. We're not sure what, if any of the festivities will air, so you'll have to listen in to find out. We highly recommend you tune in Tuesday to "Pyrates Behaving Badly" (6:00PM MST) with those lovely and saucy wenches, Capt'n Cali and Cheeto Gyrl. You just never know what might happen!
