"The best influences are those that change your life, the way you think, and the way you feel. When I started playing music I aspired to be as good or better than the artists I listened to. However, know I aspire to be as talented as the musicians I play with.

Rock: There's no other way to put it. There are cowbells and shakers, but mostly loud guitars and chest-deep screams and songs about sex. Immediately recognizable as an Oakland garage band by its gritty production, independent ethic, and detached sincerity, Superfinos VTO emphatically leaves no room for niceties.

About Us:
to tell ya the truth, at this point the music we're creating...well we just want it to be good. really good. music that you want to listen to more and more. music to make babies to. music to start riots to. everything We hear right now fits so perfectly genre-wise, which is right where we don't want to be. but we still want to be your favorite rock band. We think the only way to do both is to pay homage to the past but for god's sake take a fucking chance and create something new. rock for the (m)asses?
We have also had the pleasure of being asked to play ' The Best of the East Bay " party held at the Oakland Museum and put on by The East Bay Express , The Uptown Night club , and many others.We shared the stage with The Thrill of it all , C U Next weekend , The Heavenly States , Fracacs , Dizzy Ballon , Souls of Mischief , Swann Danger , and Goapele.We played in front of thousands and had the time of our lives ! .
We were also recently voted by fans to be " the best of the bay " for the month of November 2009 at the deli magazine.com !!!

We are this week's featured band on the video blog Pacific Noise! Thanks John for all of your hard work with Pacific Noise and for caring so much for local music:
Here's a video of us playing "For Those Who Have It All" acoustically at Mama Buzz Cafe in Oakland. We learned so much about ourselves and what we were capable of at this show. It was really a special time for all the bands involved...and it's good to know that the songs sound good when stripped down to the bare essentials:
more videos below! the first one shows how damn hard it is to record hand-claps. after much practice, we still need to re-record :-) the others are short clips from a great show we had at Retox Lounge, SF. Enjoy. Videos taken by Matteow
Filmed at The Hotel Utah by our great friends at latenitesinners.com
