That's Neil with some blonde guy that kinda looks like Geddy.

I think that's Sam Dunn (music documentarian) with Neil.
Darn it! The bass is buried!
Perhaps not a very well known Surf Band but a really cool photo none the less.

I saw TB's own Mike Watt the other night with his latest band, mssv. The guitarist, Mike Baggetta, writes the songs and does most of the singing (Watt does some), but the music isn't very far from Watt's historical sounds. The drummer, Stephen Hodges, played on Watt's second solo album in the late '90s (Contemplating the Engine Room), as well as some of Tom Waits' classics in the '80s.
The first opener, Spirit of Hamlet, was a project Watt recorded an album with a couple years ago. He didn't have time to practice with them for this show, so the guitarist's son filled in (using a Ric with a P bass pickup at the neck). Watt did sit in on the last two songs, including a cover of the Stooges' TV Eye, which he sang.
Next up was Thousand Dollar Movie, they played atmospheric instrumentals. The bassist used a Wattplower, identical to mine.
Then mssv came out. They made great use of dynamics. Baggetta is an excellent guitarist. Some of Watt's lines were a little more restrained than I'm used to, but they worked really well with the songs. His Wattplower through the Bergantino setup sounded fantastic. Really enjoyed the set, which included a Richard Hell cover.

That's not his mother, it's the wife of a member of British parliament. This pic has been floating around the internet, erroneously labeled as such, and was actually posted here not that long ago. Here's the real story…
The day The Yardbirds gatecrashed a Lord's house and took on the British establishment
When a politician spoke out against rock music in the House of Lords in spring of 1964, The Yardbirds had an idea: to stage an unannounced gig in his garden
The actual story of Clapton and his mother is quite sad. She was 16 when she had him, continued to be a bit of a wild child afterwards, and Eric was raised by his grandparents, who led him to believe that this girl was his wayward sister. He later found out the truth, but she still wanted nothing to do with him(the father was a Canadian military person in England for the war effort).
