END-OF-SUMMER BASH with Surf Zombies and more

Some super fun acts to cap off a great summer and welcome the beginning of autumn and to cap off the Maqtoberfest street festival. HEADLINER - 6-8 p.m. SURF ZOMBIES Surf Zombies raise surf rock from the dead with fast, crazy, original instrumentals that straddle retro surf, bubblegum punk and garage rock, conjuring images of beach parties, Saturday morning cartoons, and hot rod car shows. The driving rhythms, swirling tremolo, crashing spring reverb from dueling guitars and authentic growl of vintage tube amps make for a truly weird Midwestern wonder. Surf Zombies have played in all corners of Iowa and frequently visit Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Nebraska. They twice shared the stage with the late surf guitar godfather Dick Dale, have a beer named after them from Iowa Brewing Company, and received the Spirit Award from the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. OPENING ACT - about 4 pm - THE MUZIK KRAUTS Polka band hailing from the Quad Cities. You will raise a cup. You'll grab a friend or "more than friend" or, who knows, maybe a friendly stranger for a rousing polka or waltz. And raise a cup again (it could be pop) because you'll be having a GREAT time. Entertainment to start around 3:30 pm. Presented by Maquoketa Betterment Corp./Hometown Pride
