Strange But Surfography...
We are Long Island's Premier Original Surf Rock & Roll band. More than just Surf, we combine Blues, Oldies, Rockabilly and more into our own genre of music, known as Strange But Surf. We were founded in 2003 on the boardwalk on Long Beach, during the weekly scooter ride, hosted by Marbles Mahoney's Scooter Club, The Hornets Long island Scooter Club. We were forged in the garage in Levittown and proven on stages all across the NYC/Long Island area. Long Island has a huge Blues scene and SBS knows the Blues inside and out. We live them, everyday. We also draw upon our Punk and Rock & Roll expeirences to create a unique sound what has been described as "The Rolling Stones Of Surf". More than just a surf band we play many different styles and instruments to bring a diverse collection of music to any occasion .

Strange But Surf HQ...
We are headquartered at Rancho De Angelo , our "Fortress Of Solitude" in historic Levittown on sunny Long Island. There we tender the finest Surf Rock & Roll of our own known as Strange But Surf. Long Island is the home of a thriving Surfing scene. You can often find us riding a wave on the South Shore, if not on stage. Jones Beach Gilgo Beach, Ditch Plains, Overlook Beach, Nickerson Beach are the spots we Safari to. From Coney Island to Montauk Point the surfing goes on off the white sandy beaches of Long Island's South Shore. This provides the perfect inspiration for the creation of original music with that unique surf sound commonly heard on the west coast of the USA. It is also the site of our annual Surf Music Fesival, TWANGSTOCK !
