Surf Cinema is an
instrumental-soundtrack band and a collage of surf, beach party,
spy movie, car crash, western, sitcom, kitsch, and clay-mation
clips to project live on stage behind the band to form "Surf Cinema".
It's a slight twist from traditional surf and a bit more visually
entertaining.
The band has shared the stage
with Dick Dale, The Red Elvises, and many other bands up and down
the west coast.
Heter, baring a nickname derived
from a drunken Newfoundlander, hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
He has played in many successful cover and indie bands across
the country for that last 15+ years.
Aaron, has been a staple Bay Area
musician for more than 15 years playing bass and drums for the
likes of Chug, Sinister Sam and The Floppy Rods. He also manages
one of the more popular local music stores and runs a spectacular
48 track-recording studio. Ironically, Aaron was sitting in when
our original drummer needed to sit out a few weeks. The chemistry
was too good to stop!
Jim, our bass player has also
been a Bay Area mainstay with bands Leghound, JTS and The Floppy
Rods. He can also play guitar, clean your pool, size you for a
helmet and let you drink him under the table.
We are very good friends in and
out of the music which makes the perfect formula for a great band.
See you at the next show.
