   About The Surfactants




You can now buy all of our music via iTunes and Amazon!

This "new" album is actually just our first two mini-albums mashed into one amazing new package. You can now get both of our albums in one shot for $9.99 on iTunes and $8.99 on Amazon, or just buy the songs you like and forget the rest. Whatever works for you.

This was all made possible by TuneCore, a very slick music service that does a lot of the work for you. Obviously we highly recommend it to anyone trying to sell their music.

So, for love of everything, tell your friends. Thank you.





Thanks to LocalM for the photos. Check out the site for more.

Here are a couple clips from the Homegrown 2007 Movie from LocalM.

THE SURFACTANTS' SITE HAS HAD A MAJOR UPDATE! Make sure to check it out and learn how to stay up-to-date as we start rolling out the new album and new shows!

Here's the cover of THE NEW ALBUM!



You can read our interview with High Plains Drifter Magazine HERE. Huge thanks to Jimi and crew for a great show and a great local zine.

Check out this cool Minnewiki entry on The Surfactants. Go ahead and sign up so you can add all the gory details about us!

Go and request The Surfactants at The Current's website!!!

Make sure to check out an awesome podcast featuring The Surfactants! Gary Holdsteady from INDEPENDENT STREAM has featured us on the show. Check it out here!

The four members of The Surfactants are all veterans of the Minnesota music and art scene. With over 40 years of combined experience (in the bands The Virgin Marcus, The State Champs, Both, Puddle Wonderful, and more, as well as years of professional radio broadcasting and studio recording), The Surfactants have joined to punch Minnesota in the nuts with a crippling array of sonic weaponry and space age technology. Bringing together their mutual experience with recording and computer networking, The Surfactants had most of their first album recorded and mixed even before any of them met for their first live practice. Well oiled doesnt even come close to describing their approach.
