Surf Dads Ready Canadian Tour, Premiere New Video

BY Alex HudsonPublished Sep 16, 2015

The members of summery garage-pop outfit Surf Dads are split between Los Angeles and Regina, but in the coming weeks, they will favour their Canadian roots when hitting the road in the coming weeks.

The outing begins on September 18, when the band's L.A.-based Chris Dimas will join Gage McGuire in his hometown of Regina. From there, they will head east, playing a show in Winnipeg followed by a string of dates in Ontario and Quebec.

All told, they have 14 Canuck shows within two and a half weeks, and the tour eventually wraps up on October 4. After that, they have a couple of Saskatoon dates with Library Voices. See the schedule below.

Scroll past the schedule to check out the premiere of a live performance video for "Beach Dreams," a sunny rock tune with a riff reminiscent of "Please Please Me." The clip was filmed in a bathroom by Anastas Maragos. The band said in a statement, "We thought it would be a fun idea to set up all of our gear and record us playing in a bathroom. It was violently hot, but ended up working out okay." This song comes from the recent EP A Nice Boy.
