The Skull Surfers

Long Live Boston Surf!

About Me


The Skull Surfers are a new, NEW, NEW! surf band comprised of former Stump Grinders guitarist Tim Kostas , Moon Hoax drummer Mark Toomey and bassist Pete Homan . The band is looking to jump back into the Boston surf scene with some COOL tunes from the 60's to the modern day. Some GIGS have been scheduled... be on the look out for MORE!!
The tunes posted here are a few LIVE (but rough) basement cuts from some recent rehearsals. Studio stuff is coming soon!
The song "Gusher" is an ORIGINAL tune, written back in the late 90's when Tim was with his former surf band The Stump Grinders ... please check it out!
Also currently playing... our versions of two classics: "Penetration" & "Peter Gunn". In addition, we have covered the great Aqua Velvets with a rendition of "Spanish Blue"
Here is a recent quote about The Skull Surfers from KCR DJ Clint Beachwood (You will soon be able to hear our tune "Gusher" on his radio program A Day at the Beach):
"I was somewhat (pleasantly) surprised when I first checked out your page... I see this trio of rough, buff, semi-mean looking guys and then "Gusher" comes on and it's this beautiful, moody song... very nice. I was just a little taken back. I guess I expected this grungy, punk sounding tune... it was a nice surprise. I think the other songs were a little more of what I expected from both your photo and the name. Don't get me wrong... they are all very cool songs!"
Live shot from the May 3, 2007 Kirkland Gig
AND... here is the first Skull Surfers VIDEO featuring the song "Gusher". We melded our tune with some cool Tahitian surfing video for just the right feel! Please watch!
