		6:45 - 7:15 p.m.        The Red Hot Lava Men        and                    Kitzinger Community Room  7:30 - 8:00 p.m. The Red Hot Lava Men are a dynamic instrumental surf-rock band that brings the focused intensity of the great rock instrumentals of the late 1950's and the early 1960's into the present time. The band was formed in Richmond, Virginia in the fall of 1997 when guitarist Mark Golden and drummer Greg Weatherford, who had been getting together and playing surf instrumentals informally, recruited Doyle Hull on bass and guitarist John Gotschalk to fill out their sound. The band has since put together a large repertoire of great instrumental songs—both their own and classics from the instrumental rock era. Those familiar with the Richmond, Virginia rock and roll scene of the 1980's and 1990's may recognize members of the band from such noteworthy Richmond rock acts as: The Knievels, Spike The Dog, The Rational Herdsmen, The Stellarondos, and The Nixon Years.   LISTEN to The Red Hot Lava Men on MP3.com
