Artist description A four-piece (guitars, bass, drums) band specializing in original and classic cover instru-mental surf music. We're not too religious about staying 'pure' the original sounds, preferring instead to 'say it our way'. However, we love the music so much that I think we do the cover songs justice, in terms of enthusiasm and attention to oft-ignored details, and push, if even only a little, the well-trod boundaries of the modern surf-resurgence. All members have contributed originals, most of which will appear here over time.

Music Style Surf / Ska / Instro-Mental music

Musical Influences The Ventures, Dick Dale, Agent Orange, The Specials

Artist History Started '92/'93-ish. Gigged a lot in Boston at Club Bohemia with Surficide and once with the Ray Corvair Trio, two bands who worked hard and played well and rightfully dominated the scene. We gigged for fun and did a fair amount of recording in Daron Burke's now legendary (and still frosty) Cold Room Studio.Skip Kent and Emmi Kurosawa went on to form ThunderKitty (see links)

Group Members James Allen (guitar) Skip Kent (crunchier guitar) Dan Burke (bass) Emi Kurosawa (drums on Duke) Joel Friedman (drums on Slaughter and Miserlou) Adam California (Our first drummer *sigh*, borrowed and occasionally stolen from Boston ska sensation The HiHats, playing the whip-crack snare on Volga)

Instruments 2 guitars (James plays a Fender Jaguar, Kent an Ibanez Artist), bass (Dan plays an Ibanez somethingorother) drums (go boom)
