Such as the Seaview Ballroom, the Espy, thePrince of Wales, and along with a ton of other sticky carpet, unsanitarytoilet, beer flowing dumps, that generously supported these live acts andpatrons.
A love of Surf guitar, Exotica, 60’s R & B Instrumentals, 60’sGarage & Rock n Roll drew them together to smash out these classic soundsand grooves.
