We took the band on the road to Puerto Rico where we had sometimes guitarist Keith Treco, and where we developed a percussion section with a little salsa blood and I started seriously working on my tremelo picking with old mandolin I found in my parent's attic and restored.

After finding rehearsal studios in New York City and near our fav surf breaks on the Jersey shore, we realized that Wave Dave (not shown) was an accomplished blues/lead guitarist and that Karl was guitar troubadour and songwriter of some local reknown. More recently we've added some tres fancy tenor sax wailings by my neighbor Mike (not shown), an accomplished player. It took some convincing but the rock n'roll soul of Doug (not shown) finally prevailed and he splurged on a bass and amp sometime early in 1998, and has been seriously studying the instrument ever since.

Hey guys we're startin' ta be havin' some real fun here... Like most drummers Holger is slightly demented... he sounds alot better now that he got real drums and cymbals!!!

Karl is prone to some hotdogging both in and out of the water... he carries alot of the guitar solos. Scott our adjunct songwriter is in the background.

Now we have some original surf instrumentals and neopunk/gothic rock numbers coming along with our traditional surf instrumental music, classic rock, and punk rock cover tunes.
