Sounds Like
We're not a "traditional" surf band. We probably range somewhere between Shadowy Men, Man or Astroman, and Pell Mell. But not really.
El Patapsco is instrumental band from Baltimore.
We've been around since 2002 and we have released two CD's so far - LRDG (2005) and Me Dejo (2008). We're currently recording a new one to be released later this year. Marc and Jerome were previously in a instro-rock band called Defender (2001).
We play sporadically in the Baltimore area, as well as occasional jaunts to New York for one of Unsteady Freddie's shows.
We have a lot of free mp3's on this site and our own - http://www.elpatapsco.com. Feel free to download and share.
We're also on a couple of Continental Magazine compilations from Double Crown Records.
If you're a DJ at a radio station, feel free to write us for a copy of our latest release. (Please provide a playlist from prior shows.)
