Frankie Farfisa: Guitar, yells Freddie Farfisa: Bass Philip Farfisa: Farfisa “Big” Fredo “Daddy” Farfisa: Drums

The Farfisas formed in early 2011 on Long Island, NY by Frankie who was at that time performing with a rockabilly band named ‘Hey Hey, Why Why?’ and living out of a Winnebago. He ran in to Freddie who worked at a local bait and tackle shop. The two hit it off and decided to form their own band.

After seeing Fredo and Philip performing as the duo ‘Rude Dude’, Frankie coaxed them to join what would eventually become the Farfisas. Everyone took the surname ‘Farfisas’ as a tip of the hat to The Ramones.

Without any record company support, the band booked all their own shows along the south shore. They quickly grew a following of hair stylists and several used car dealers who were in between jobs.

Their debut CD ‘Surf, Far – Surf Good’ is available on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon and other popular non brick and mortar locations.

The Shrunken Head Lounge: The Coolest Surf Music Radio Show Sundays 8PM - 9PM

For more than 40 years the Beach Boys have been the embodiment of the all-american rock band, promoting surfing, cars and girls -and especially California.

The 3 Wilson Brothers, Brian, Dennis and Carl - along with their cousin Mike Love, grew up in Southern California singing together at family gatherings. Brian added his school buddy Al Jardine and the band was complete.

In the fall of 1961 they recorded their first single "Surfin'" which hit #2 locally and #75 nationally. In the spring of 1962 The Beach Boys were signed to Capitol Records on the strength of a demo tape recorded by their father, Murry. That tape contained the two singles to follow, Surfin Safari and 409.

Surfin Safari hit the top 20. They followed up with the great tunes Surfin USA and Surfer Girl. At this point there was no stopping the great sound that the Beach Boys were creating.

Many hits were to follow: Little Deuce Coupe, Catch a Wave, Be True To Your School, Fun Fun Fun and I Get Around. So let's get going with some of their early hits from 1962 to 1966
