Booking and mailing list!


Influences: The Ventures, The Shadows, Dick Dale, Slacktone
Sounds Like: Instrumental rock combo stuff: double picking, reverb, echo, glissando, tremolo bar, chords like limpid pools. Fender guitar. Fender bass. Flash drumming. Extensive repertoire. Nice outfits. We don't sing. Try the Modniks for that! Occasional go-go girls, but mostly you do your own dancing. See our blog for representative set lists. See our pics for the good times. We love Dick Dale , the Belairs, the Surfaris (Original, straight out, or intertwined), the Sandals , the Ventures - big time!, the Shadows , Jorgen Ingman, and, of course, Slacktone , California's hottest exponents of contemporary surf music.

Up in Gold Hill, a few years back. Thanks to Bill Brennan!
