The Surfacers

The Surfacers, one of the first bands in the Argentinean underground music scene to perform pure instrumental surf music began in 1998, one day after making the decision to quit playing classic rock ‘n’ roll covers and start experimenting with the instrumental-reverb-drenched-guitar surf style. After some time, several line up changes and under The Surfacers name; they start to hit the local scene with their first shows, which featured early versions to many of the original songs later recorded for their debut album, among wild renditions of such surf classics as Pipeline and Scalped. The first Surfacers line up, which included Matías Torres and Sebastian Marino on guitars, Santiago Urueña on bass and Julio on drums, did several performances and cut some rough demo tapes until the departure of drummer Julio, who is replaced by Sebastián Romani (former Stonerwitch) on drums. This was the formation that entered the recording studio during middle 2003 to record their first album for Green Cookie Records. After the recording sessions were done, guitarist Sebastian Marino decides to leave the band due to musical and personal differences. Now settled as a trio, The Surfacers started the year 2004 full out with the Wild Surf Tour through the Argentinean coast, rocking the beach with their reverberating tunes, and with the most-expected release of their self-titled debut album on April, through Green Cookie Records from Greece. During the upcoming live performances of The Surfacers all over the Buenos Aires area, you could appreciate a broad range of influences, which blends with the classic surf styles for a truly unique listening experience.
