INSECT SURFERS were originally formed in the summer of '79 in
Washington, D.C. Touring the U.S. extensively, they also released
several independent lp's and singles that placed as high as #25 on
the national college radio charts.
Founding member David Arnson regrouped the band after moving to Los
Angeles in 1985 with guitarist/sax player Dan "Dano" Sullivan
resulting in the most dynamic lineup to date. Debuting at KXLU's
"Surf Day" in June 1986, INSECT SURFERS have gone on to be featured on
bills with such artists as Chris Isaak, B-52's, Jonathan Richman,
Pylon, The Ventures, Dick Dale, Surfaris, etc.
Even before June 1986, the INSECT SURFERS managed to play on the
same stages as Iggy Pop, The Stranglers, Psychedelic Furs, Joan Jett,
Echo and the Bunnymen, Revillos, etc.
Far from being a nostalgia act, INSECT SURFERS play guitar-fueled
instrumental rock for tomorrow - today! The 50's and 60's stylings of
such artists as Link Wray and Dick Dale are filtered through
psychedelia, punk rock and soundtrack themes to produce a unique,
invigorating and danceable blend. "Jetstream propulsion, dual lead
twang", "The Clash meets the Ventures", "PsychedelicRangers",
"Traditional yet progressive", are all taken from reviewers'
descriptions.
INSECT SURFERS have drawn at clubs all over California and the
Southwest as well as putting together their own local surf festivals
in Los Angeles.
So...Submerge, hang twelve, and immerse yourself in the surfadelic
sounds of the
INSECT SURFERS.
