"And you... will never hear... surf music again."When Jimi Hendrix spoke these words, was he hoping? Was he prophesying? Or was he talking about the Professors themselves?A North, East and West San Diego County Band, The Professors seem destine to take surf music in a direction that defies the very genre as it seeks to define it. They don't do it by playing louder. They don't do it by playing faster. They do it with a wit and wisdom that makes them stand apart as a truly original new band.Blending classics with originals the Professors offer a unique performance that is fun to listen to and watch without being over powering or demanding. The Professors have spent the last year and half, as a group, honing their sounds and performances by playing smaller, out of the way venues until they felt ready to take on more. Now, they're ready.Their set blends a really fantastic selection of rare surf covers and bold originals. Each new song is a surprise departure from the later. The smooth electricity of "Jet Set Lounge" contrasts perfectly with the ethereal highs and heavy crescendos of "Undertow". Then it's off to the races with the double-o-spy themed, Mr. Incredible and rockabilly roust, Electromatic. For some special spice, throw in some roots-of-rock-and-roll renditions of "Pipeline", "Apache", "Walk Don't Run" along with some surprise selections from the epic "Endless Summer Soundtrack".These guys are so awesome to watch. They lend their unique style to every aspect of their performance: professional, sophisticated, energetic and on the edge. Is it Pink Floyd-ish Radio Head or Duane Eddy styled Eddie Van Halen? With their ever present surf tone creating sometimes heavy, sometimes light and airy, fantastic voyage adventures, the Professors promise to be the band to watch in the coming year.Electric or acoustic, the Professors maintain an interest and sophistication. A style. One that is clearly Professors. One that is clearly … cool - good sounding, and cool.The Professors' unique sonic diversity makes them the perfect choice for any venue, event or gathering.
