THE SURFTONES formed in 1980. KERRY CHESTER and RICK
LINDLEY we're playing in Hollywood in the 'THE DOLPHINS' doing all original
tunes and chasing a major record deal. THE DOLPHINS we're one of the "house
bands" at The Whiskey A Go-Go and The Starwood, which means we played those
clubs and others like The Troubador on a weekly basis, opening for acts like
'Motley Crue', 'Quiet Riot' and other headliners during the late 70's.
We we're performing a song on stage called "Eddie & The Surftones" that we had
written about a local Surf Band making good, and then one day....... we became
that band! The name was loosely based on the 60's Surf Band 'Dave Meyers & the
Surftones'. A year later we dropped Eddie from
the name and became 'THE SURFTONES', the band you know and love today.
Since the early days in 1980 THE SURFTONES have grown into one of the most
sought after and recognizable Surf Bands in Southern California. Offering not
only all the Instro Surf Songs from A to Z as well as 60's Classics from Chuck
Berry to Jimi Hendrix and The Doors, THE SURFTONES are now best known for our
re-creation of the Vocal Surf Songs from the Beach Boy's, Jan & Dean and others.
There are only a handful of bands in the U.S.A. who can perform those complex harmonies
on stage and most won't attempt songs like "Good Vibrations".t;Good Vibrations".
THE SURFTONES can perform as the 'WAVE MACHINE' Single or Duo (all Instro Surf
Classics), 'THE 'SURFTONES' Duo, Trio, Quartet, Quintet, or full six piece
lineup or, 'THE SURFTONES 60's DANCE PARTY' with a songlist of over 300 60's
& early 70's Classic Rock songs (Something for everybody).
Over the last 20 years THE SURFTONES have played hundreds of concerts
for Cities, at Piers, and Parks, large and small venues as well as a myriad of
corporate events all over California.nts all over California.
With the addition of their newest members, JON STATHAM (who really sounds like
Brian Wilson) and EDDIE KEATING (well known singer & player in So Cal), original
members, KERRY CHESTER (Keyboard, Guitar & Vocals), RICK LINDLEY (Drums &
Vocals), MATT QUILTER (Guitar & Vocals), and DAVID McCULLOCH (Bass & Vocals)
