Austin Surf Sesh: Bikini Contest Part 2 (and Bands)

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Here’s the next set of Austin Surf Sesh pictures. This time we feature Betaplayer, The Beat Dolls and the second (of many) bikini contest contestant. The two musical acts were early in the day and didn’t have much of a crowd. The music was good though, check them both out.

Betaplayer is a socially and politically conscious hip-hop group from Austin. The beats were solid and the lyrics were from an earlier time of classic hip-hop.

The Beat Dolls
The Beat Dolls had a No Doubt vibe. It felt refreshing even though it was a billion degrees outside and it has been done before…by No Doubt. Regardless, The Beat Dolls are a solid punk rock group.

I’m going to make you work for the bikini contest pictures. She’s below the break.
