The
SurfSonics

From
the World Capital of Surfing - the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii,
comes
a new band playing music from the classic era of Surf Music.
The
SurfSonics play the major instrumentals
from the Ventures, Dick
Dale,
Surfaris,
and other hitmakers from the golden days of Surf Music
with
the 2
guitar, bass, and drums lineup popular at the time.

What
sets them apart is that they also do the Beach
Boys hits
and
other vocal classics from that era - complete with 4 part harmony.

If
you're having a real Beach Party or just want to "Capture the
Vibe",
they're
just what you need to take you there!
