Title: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Real Barnyard on March 01, 2015, 09:02:21 AM David will be headlining the XII Surforama Festival in Valencia, Spain.
http://festivalsurforama.es/ Els A-Phonics will be the supporting band for David in this only show in Europe. They are a local surf band who have formerly supported Nokie Edwards (The Ventures) and Eddie Bertrand (Eddie & The Showmen) at the same festival. http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/los-conciertos-de-radio-3/conciertos-radio3-200115-2358-169/2958208/ This show will take place just before David joining Mike & Bruce for the UK Tour. And this will be the first time that a member of The Beach Boys perform in Valencia since the 1990 spanish tour! I hope I can meet David when he arrives in my hometown. I can't wait for next May! Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Real Barnyard on March 03, 2015, 03:26:38 AM So, what can I expect in a David Marks solo show?
Marksmen songs, all Beach Boys songs, surf instros, maybe Moon songs? Any comments please?? Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Heartical Don on March 03, 2015, 09:47:26 AM Is this sensational?
I play my hometown every day. Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: elnombre on March 03, 2015, 09:54:10 AM Excellent, I'd love to see a show like that. David's always seems to be one of the quieter members and is a massive talent. It'd be great to watch him take to the spotlight. Here's hoping it goes over well and he considers more solo dates in future when his schedule allows.
Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: Carrie Marks on March 03, 2015, 10:27:32 AM David is playing at Surf-o-Rama, which is a surf music festival, so the setlist will be geared towards that genre…you can expect early Beach Boys, Marksmen and a heavy surf instrumental set. Looking forward to seeing you there, we are both excited to visit Valencia!

Well, I don't know if 'sensational' is the word, but it is surely a blast that the only european solo show of David will be here in Valencia where many Beach Boys and surf instro fans will come to see him. As I said before, surf music legends like Nokie Edwards and Eddie Bertrand have played the Surforama before and it is great that David can be considered as a surf legend as well.

Here's hoping it goes over well and he considers more solo dates in future when his schedule allows. I am looking forward to seeing David play with a local surf band, as opposed to seeing him play with The Beach Boys or The Surf City Allstars. I am very curious and it will surely be a great show.

You will enjoy Valencia very much, it is a beautiful mediterranean city! :hat Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Real Barnyard on May 21, 2015, 03:30:28 PM David is rehearsing now in Valencia for next Saturday's show.
There is a video of Surf Jam on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DavidMarksOfficial Can't wait for the weekend! Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: Lee Marshall on May 21, 2015, 03:50:15 PM Enjoy. I am just hoping...having never seen David perform live...that he somehow joins in for some of the North American end of the Beach Boys tour this summer. T'would be great to offer up some LOUD cheering and hand clapping directed at him, at the very least, as a way of thanking him for all he provided to my life-long 'soundtrack'. It's because of David that I met and spent significant time with Carl. Just because I was interested in David's well-being and asked...Carl made time for me.
Anyway...again...enjoy. Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: VanDykeParksAndRec on May 21, 2015, 04:01:35 PM Ahhh, I love David Marks playing! I got to see him with Brian in 2013. I just picked up the first The Moon LP, his playing makes the album. Would love to find Without Earth!
I bet the show will be fantastic! Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Real Barnyard on May 22, 2015, 08:26:41 AM It will be a great surf & roll party!

Title: Re: David Marks willl play my hometown! Post by: The Real Barnyard on May 24, 2015, 04:41:19 AM It was a great show last night. All the Beach Boys songs David performed were tracks in which he actually played back in the day, if you don't count Barbara Ann or Do You Wanna Dance.
He mentioned Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention as being the inspiration for Food Fair!
