BONGO SURF formed at the Jersey Shore when a group of friends
combined their love of surfing and music (and margaritas) and played
their first gig opening up for surf-guitar legend Dick Dale.
Currently based in Jersey City, the band now features six-string guru Dane Johnson at
the helm, with brothers Dave and Mark Stellmach (guitar and percussion), Chris Poppe (bass) and Chris Edelson (drums). Bongo Surf will get you groovin’ to instrumental surf
classics of the 60’s, playing hits from The Ventures, Dick Dale, The
Chantays, The Surfaris, and more. With reverb drenched guitar twang
and a splash of latin rhythm, this is the sound of summer!

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
