El Ray

Surf with a twist - Instrumentals a go-go!

About Me

Copenhagen, Denmark. Not the most likely place for a band to emerge with the obvious surfing pedigree of El Ray. The band show a versatility of sound and an ear for catchy, toe tapping melody which takes them beyond the cliches that can often be associated with the surfing genre. Combining a fresh, modern style with a healthy nod to the past, 'surf with a twist', El Ray have managed to achieve a new, classic sound.El Ray are always ready to invite their audience to ride the wild waves of surf in clubs all over.Better Surf Than Sorry - it's time to join the party!
