GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH

Guantanamo Baywatch returns to Total Fest this year, bringing more of its trademark garage-scuffed surf pop to a Missoula stage. The perfect tunes for lying around the house on a summer day feeling "heartbroken yet groovy," as one reviewer (ahem) wrote in the Independent back before Total Fest XI last year. It's also good for hanging out in the sauna-like atmosphere of Zoo City Apparel with a Pabst.

We're pleased to have these Portland partiers back in town, and look forward to enjoying Guantanamo Baywatch's surf vibes in another delightful venue!



Listen to 'em here.

Second Fiddle to No One: Total Fest 2012, Round 2

By now, you're bubbling as much as we are. Things are really coming together, and the line-up grows more exciting by the day. We're working hard to solidify everything. If you're waiting to hear from us -- our apologies. We'll have everything set in stone over this week.

We're up to our second blast this week. Couldn't be happier. It's an impressive list that should have your rock-fist pumping in no time. As with the last one, we'll follow this up with more detailed descriptions, observations, delusions, analogies, etc. over the following days. Stay tuned.

There are some old friends in here, stirred around with a few homegrown miscreants, shaken and topped with exotic tastes from the east and midwest. It's a list that you can't afford to gloss over. A fair blend of the weird, loud, and fun ...

Ready.

Go.
