Biography

This quintessential 1960s instrumental combo functioned like a well-oiled machine, with ticks and foibles that gave them a character all their own. The dual-guitar lineup had the spotlight, but the drumming swung and breathed with jazzy subtleties. Their biggest hit, 1960's "Walk Don't Run," is a kinetic, ominous classic that helped define and usher in a golden age of instrumental surf tunes.
