The Tube Sharks first hunted together in August of '96. The Tube Sharks are 'Big Wave' Dave photo on bass, Tommy 'V' Reverb photo on guitar, and Jordan 'Hang Ten' photo on drums. They each have 10+ years playing in the scene in local blues, rock, and country bands. As a surf trio The Tube Sharks have appeared in Bay Area taverns and restaurants with great appreciation for bringing back classic surf music. The Tube Sharks are an instrumental surf band capturing the vintage and modern surf sound that has resurfaced in the 1990's. The Tube Sharks sound is traditional with a modern edge. The Tube Sharks cover the classic tunes of the era: Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Astronauts, The Surfaris, and of course our own The Tube Sharks material.

Lead Tube Shark and bassist 'Big Wave' Dave is an active surf revivalist and participant, appearing periodically as a guest with DJ Phil Dirt on the KFJC surf show. "We are really into this music" says Dave, "we have worked hard to replicate that classic sound. Our guitarist, Tommy 'V' uses nothing but vintage Fender equipment and would even use original strings if he could find them!". In addition to classic surf material, we also mix in some classic jazz and rockabilly with a surf feel to appeal to all sorts of audiences. "What we enjoy most is people dancing and appreciating this groovy kind of music that is refreshing yet classic to all kinds of listeners" says Dave.

"Ladies and Gentleman - The Tube Sharks !".
