IndoSurf
The Short Story Version
IndoSurf has been around since 1999. The band started off with Chase Sanborn, Matt Vitale & Eric Pruitt playing Ziggens covers and just having fun. None of the members knew how to play their instruments but we grew as a band and learned together. In the year 2000, the band got a little more serious and added close friend Sean McFadden to the mix. Sean complimented Eric vocally and helped in the band's push to go somewhere. In 2001 their prayers were answered when talented guitar player Dave Bivona came on the scene and joined the band. As the band grew together each member found their nitch. Chase stayed playing drums, Dave stayed in his lead guitar role, while Matt switched over the bass guitar. Sean and Eric were the front men and in 2002 the band released a 6-track E.P. The band blew up for a few years around Visalia and then burnt out. Dave and Sean were the first to leave and other members slowly followed. Sean left up to Chico to start his own band called Watson 349. After a few year hiatus the Chase and Matt rekindled IndoSurf and came across bass player Matt Denis. After writing a few new songs which became instant hits, the band recalled Eric Pruitt. The group had a lot of momentum but after head to head conflicts with members Matt D left. Then a true hero emerged as Dave Bivona reunites with the band and Shmouk would return to bass. Matt and Eric complimented each others voice playing shows up and down California gaining momentum until Eric's ultimate departure to rehab. No one has ever seen him again.
2008 - Just when all was lost, Matt D returns to IndoSurf and this lights a fire under Chases ass. Chase goes on a crazy streak of writing music about a certain time period in his life. This set of songs are still being learned as we speak and a few have been recorded, thus being the "Hawaii E.P." Other songs were revamped and written by Matt Vitale. The whole band's sound has mutated and reformed into an honest original sound that we like to call IndoSurf.
