In the bleak winter of 1999 three bands burnt out - Suicidal Flowers, Gods

Little Monkeys and even the Incinerators, incinerated. From the ashes rose

the Surf Sluts.

It was time for TAT! No more hippy psychedelics, no more soulful country

pop, no more eighties drum machine-based toss with gurning bass player (now

lead guitar) ……so Pot Sounds was born.

Pot Sounds - “the band meet The Beach Boys, and terrorise them back to

California with just a touch of energetic rock & roll, a soupcon of tribal

rhythms and a hint of pagan doo-wop” - Delerium promo

Following this dodgy, rather tinny first attempt at world pop domination

(although it is rather fun and cheap - unless you buy it from Delerium -

when it’s cheaper to buy it from www.surfsluts.co.uk), came Surf & Destroy.

Surf & Destroy - “influences from the 50's 60's and 70's The Surf Sluts are

like The MC5 meets Chuck Berry, Hank Williams and The Beach Boys on drugs.

Psychotic rock up to it's eyeballs in speed, bleach and cheap booze” -

Delerium promo

Surf & Destroy also available from www.surfsluts.co.uk

…And as D-ream once said “things can only get better” but they didn’t - and

here it is…

The EP Scary Tale In Olde York - a cross between “Mistletoe and Wine” as

sung by the bastard offspring of Scrooge and the Childcatcher from Chitty

Bang Bang with “Little Drummer Boy” as sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.

Influences range from Showaddywaddy (‘they use the lyric 'bop showaddywaddy’

- Ally Fogg - The Big Issue in the North) to Showaddywaddy (‘they use the

lyric 'bop showaddywaddy’ - Ally Fogg - The Big Issue in the North) and

even the obscure Showaddy before waddy joined.
