Three American students venture to Paris, France for a semester abroad. Three months later they are playing Surf-Rock together. Shortly after that a Recording Session is booked resulting in "Both Sides of The Surf" a rare and highly coveted slab of vinyl that many consider one of the finest examples of "Surf Music's Second Wave".Fast forward to today and word on the dock is that the band is reuniting to record the long awaited follow-up. Sessions will take place in Nashville, TN. Additionally, a remaster of "Both Sides of The Surf" will be made available shortly.
