The Surfin Birds was formed in the summer of -99 by Fredrik Myhrberg and Mattias Pihlgren,both big fans of instrumentalmusic!Well...songs were written and soon Ulf Sahlberg from the great rockabillyband "The Dreadnoughts" joined the band.And the last peace of the puzzle...the drums...was filled by the briliant drummer John Hugardt!He played in the band for about 4 years and then went off to study.For the last 6 years the band has had a bunch of drummers,and now we are pleased to have Christian Pihlgren on the drumchair!
Over the years the band has played at several big and small festivals/pubs/partys and so on!At 2004 they attended as the first "surf act" ever on swedens biggest instrumentalfestival "The Spotniksfestival",and received a scholarship for "to them in a positive way to develop and disseminate further instrumental music to younger generations"!
They have also been played at several radiostations and appears on the collection cd "back to the 60..s" with the song "Indian trail".The Surfin birds also appered as themselves with 3 selfproduced songs in the 2004 big swedish movie "Kim Novak badade aldrig i Genesarets sjö"!After that the band took a break...with some gigs on and off.....and now they are back better and stronger then ever , playing "true sixties instrumental and surfmusic" as hard as only they can!!and they are currently writing and recording songs for a new album in 2009!!!............
