ABOUT
A rock surf punk rock folk band in Arizona that plays original music for the enjoyment of the crowd and ourselves. The Surf Guitar Villains create original post modern music, influenced by Jimi Hendrix,Mick Ronson, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Dick Dale and other legends of music. Based out of Arizona, this retro surf band, with under polished and off beat tunes, seeks to capture the romantic view of a bygone era in the 21st century, with their take on garage,
surf and psychedelic sounds. The Surf Guitar Villains have 6 independently produced CDs.
