Biography

The Volcanos were formed in 1994. They set out to create a high-energy reinterpretation of classic '60s surf music. Chris and Rick had previous experience playing surf in the Zombie Surfers. After cooking up a few originals, the band put out two 45s on their Neurotic Bop label. The records were greeted favorably by the then-swelling, post-Pulp-Fiction surf music scene. The band then hooked up with Estrus Records for a series of 45s, LPs and CDs. At live shows the band mixes their original instros with surf and garage vocal tunes. They've played Garage Shock 97, Surfari USA, Las Vegas Rockaround and the Detroit Autorama as well as being regulars on the Detroit scene. Core members perform in a collective of bands that includes spaghetti western twangers The Hellbenders, beat/garage noisemakers The Meltdowns; and monster rockers The 3-D Invisibles.
