Mission
About
This is our mission: to make strong, melodic guitar tunes, celebrating the rich tradition of instrumental surf music. We love vintage Fender guitar tones with tons of reverb and tremolo, we adore rimshots on the snare and thundering toms. But on top of that classic sound, we really thrive on a wide variety of influences that enable us to go beyond the Californian roots of the genre. We will explore Arabian folk music, tiki-tunes, space age, chicha, spy, western, or, one day, maybe even psychedelia or dub. In 2018, our debut EP was well received and kicked off a streak of shows at various venues in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. We are currently in the process of releasing the EP Watusi Peak, containing six brand new tracks, all composed and performed by Humanga Danga.
