Story

The project starts in april 2007. They licterally fall in love with Dick Dale's experience, reverb and wet-sounds. In 2008 they start to make their original surf music: wet-tones, spaghetti western sound and just a little bit of fuzz. Their first Ep called "Dr. Satan and Other Tales" come out in November, but in June 2009 here's the split vinyl 12" with the punk-surf band Alwaro Negro. Highwave Star is the name of their first entire record, published for the indipendent label Brigadisco Records (Itri, LT) in July 2010. After taking part in some compilations, they stars to have a more complex live attitude, touring first their Pontine Marshes in Central Italy and then the entire Italy. In April 2010 they make the first UK tour in London playing with bands like Cartavetro, Monkey Island, Adriano Lanzi and The Loverburns. In June 2011 they play for the first time at the famous Surfer Joe Summer Festival in Livorno, the biggest surf music festival of the world.
