Ambassadors of trash and twang (& other delights) |
 What they do:So called “Mariachi Death Surf” since 1996. Elements of fuzzz-z-z surf, Link Wray style instrumentals and garage trash, filled with mariachi horns and spaghetti twang, played with punk rock energy. 10 years of booking our own dates, paying for our own studio-time and releasing our own records on our own label - Mariachi Productions. Said about ‘em: Ai Caramba! ¡Qué Estilo! Even though the band is from Oslo, you'd think they were border sneaking, cigar smoking, gun swinging, truck hogging, and surf playing Mexicans! Great performance, great songs, great musicians. A lot of cover songs played in a unique garage rock/surf kind a way, and with enough vocals to keep it from being too „surfboring“, if one can say so. I mean, imagine a fast rocking cover of "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" with a trumpet instead of lead vocal, you get the picture. It sounds corny but it actually worked. |

“For some strange reason I thought this Norwegian combo would be a boring bland surf experience at the recent Club Mau Mau show. Sure they got some surf influences (NOT my fave kind of music), they call their music 'Mariachi Death Surf', but it's so much more. Spaghetti westerns (inc. horns), Link Wray twang, tex mex, Cramps, exotica, and garagepunk are all tossed into one redhot stew, and one third of the tunes features vocals from their masked drummer, one badass dude. Crazyass version of The Osmonds' "Crazy Horses". The perfect Halloween soundtrack! |
