So I get this phone call from New York Howl front man and Surf Reality Art Star, Andrew Katz; he’s in Hollywood shooting a sit com pilot for Fox and he says “Hey Rob, guess what happened yesterday after the shoot; you are never going to believe this.”
Before I could answer he says “So I’m talking to my director and he says to me “Andrew, you’re a New Yorker, have you ever heard of a theater called Surf Reality?” Andrew says” Dude, you could not have put 2 words together more beautiful than that.”
It Turns out Andrew was working under the direction of Chris Koch an old friend of Surf Reality from back in the day ( mid 1990s )… Chris was a good friend of our old friend , the late great R.J. “Russ” Riley. Russ had a small talent management agency and he would go out of his way to send out Surf Art Stars. In those days Chris ran a small production company here in NYC and he would book the talent that Russ would send him. I recall that the last cartoon remake of the Bannana Splits featured the voices of Surf Reality Art Stars in every role. Chris’s company produced that show. He later did a feature film called “Snow Days”.Then I lost track of him.
What’s cool about this story is how Chris could tell Andrew was from our scene. It’s a kind of magic, we will always be able to find one another.
