Story of Thee Swank Bastards

Ten years ago a crack music unit was sent to Prison by a court for a crime they didn't commit. Thee Swank Bastards promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Las Vegas underground. Today, still wanted by the government, Thee Swank Bastards survive as musicians of fortune. If you have a party and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Thee Swank Bastards.

What is Surf Music

"Surf music is a definite style of heavy staccato picking with the flowing sound of a reverb unit to take away the flat tones on the guitar and make the notes seem endless.  Very heavy guitar strings are used to elongate the sound from the vibration of the strings, not the feedback qualities of an amplifier.  It becomes a very in-depth combination of things that, when put together, spells out true surf music."
-- Dick Dale

"if there's singing it ain't surf."

--Sandy Nelson
