About Me

Brewed from the finest hops on central coast of California, The Arch Dukes rock a kind of rock that has never been rocked before: Behold!!! The age of Psycho-Surf. (Aka the Ventures meet the Ramones.) When the Arch Dukes first assembled their main goal was to create the soundtrack for your life, yes you, but only if you happen to be a rudy trucker surfer gypsy, with a drinking problem. Check it.
