About Me

the Breakers/ Revolva/ Detroit Derby Girls Bout/ the Masonic Temple
The Breakers are a surf/spy genre instrumental cover band, formed in the summer of 2004. The band was made up of four individuals from Detroit.The original line up was-Lead Guitar: Dave Holzerland (David J) Rhythm Guitar: Bill Bolonski (Billy) Bass: Brian Olivier (Pie) Drums: Aaron Campos (Ron Fab)After only a few months of playing together as a band the Breakers went into the studio in November 2004 to record their EP. Unsigned and on their own, the band released the disc in December 2004 titled Pick Up On This Groovy 1/24 Scale Model Kit OF Full Sized Surf Hits. The disc consisted of a Breakers original track titled Tsunami, and five surf standards in the stylings of The Ventures. The tracks were as follows--Out Of Limits -Diamondhead -Walk Dont Run -Pipeline -Penetration -Tsunami (which is now known as Barn Burner) In January 2005, Bill Bolonski decided to take a leave the band in order to start a family. What remains today is the power trio known as the Breakers- David J, Ron Fab, and Pie. The remaining members now play out as a three piece.Since then, the Breakers have established a solid local fan base and have a steady schedule of shows at local venues and bars in the Detroit area. Their set of original compositions is complimented with a mix of covers by such artists as; Dick Dale, Link Wray, and The Ventures. The band is beginning to make waves in the local music community and has played for many diverse crowds. Their fan base ranges from a younger audience that may be hearing these tunes for the first time, to an older generation that remembers when these instrumental delights could be heard on mainstream radio back in the 60s.http://www.myspace.com/ronfab http://www.myspace.com/breakersdave
