"New Haven Advocate - Grand Band Slam 2010"

Call them surf from the evil side. These Troubadours did an early gig on Halloween, and the lowbrow/horror influence never really left. The New Haven quintet adds a saxophone to traditional rock instrumentation, capitalizing on the alliance between surf and pulp forged by Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Far out! - New Haven Advocate

"North Shore Troubadours + The Clams @ Two Boots - Jan 28"

If you're like me then the last thing you think of when you think of Connecticut is surf rock. Seeing as the last time a wave hit any of our beaches was 1852, just thinking about it seems like a joke. Listening to North Shore Troubadours may change your opinion. These guys are able to make the snowiest day seem like a picnic on a Costa Rican beach before the track ends. The Clams will also be there with their Go-Go dancing troupe to bring in the surf fury. Long story short: Great music, Go-Go dancers and the best pizza in Fairfield County - a no lose situation.

Bio

North Shore Troubadours'* sound is a toxic concoction of vintage surf rock and our own creative stylization. At our roots, we are three seasoned musicians who took a simple concept and turned it into our own new genre. Imagine a 60s surf party and throw in a hoard of zombies!

The basic influences we used from the surf genre are the Ventures, Dick Dale, Laika and the Cosmonauts, and Los Straitjackets. From there, our compositions take draw from all types of music, including jazz, funk, grunge, reggae, punk, psychedelia.

As an instrumental band, we put a lot of thought into our music. Whether it's an alien interrogation, a dirty fat city rat (the one behind the mortgage crisis), or wiping out on a long board, every song puts the listener into a scene from a sci-fi movie, comic book, or perhaps just a moment derived from one of our own twisted imaginations.

We love our music, and since surf rock is relatively unknown to most audiences, we have the advantage of bringing something new and fresh to the stage. It appeals to all ages and always gets the crowd moving. And if the audience is feeling too lazy to get up, we bring go-go dancers to add a little encouragement!

Surfs Up!
