BurgerFuel Artist Recording Fund (B.A.R.F) is a new fundraiser sponsored by the fast-growing New Zealand hamburger chain, BurgerFuel. A recent fund-raising effort supplied enough money to help a popular, yet somewhat "starving" band receive enough capital to propel its career.

Wanting to do something for the music, the burger chain let the public decide who should receive the cash.  New Zealanders chose Surf City out of 11 bands that battled it out for the prize.

Surf City came in first with Cut Off Your Hands second. A new band bus, recording equipment, instruments and upcoming touring costs will all be aided with the cool cash, according to Jo McAlpine, band manager.

Where is Surf City? Surf City is located on the Eastern Shore in New Jersey, just 40 miles north of Atlantic City !

New Jersey on the east coast of the US faces the Atlantic Ocean and is surrounded by New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
