Witches In Bikinis

Horror * SciFi * Surf

About Me


Brooklyn-based theatrical pop/rock group blends horror, sci-fi, and surfing into a unique experience - gorgeous singers and dancers clad in bikinis and matching wigs, backed by a three piece band. Infectious tunes, catchy lyrics - "Horror Flick Chicks", "Alien Surfer Babes” and of course, "Witches in Bikins" - are guaranteed to haunt your brain.
"A bevy of beauties in bikinis...you're real singers, you're real dancers obviously...you're like a 6 ring circus, each one's got something going on... Witches in Bikinis rock! Witches in Bikinis rule!" -Dee Snider, Fangoria Radio
"Wow! This is my favorite band of all time!...I love you guys!" -Debbie Rochon, Fangoria Radio
