 | Trad fans beware. This is NOT your father's surf music. Let's just say that you've probably never hear surf music like this! The band's own propaganda really says it best: "You're somewhere off the far end, off the edge of the map, someplace exotic. You don't know the language or recognize the terrain but are enthralled by it anyway. .WAV founded by Vessela Stoyanova and Troy Kidwell, play upbeat international rock and jazzy arrangements of Balkan folk songs. 'As the world gets smaller music is getting a much more global audience and will reflect that in a more international sound,' proclaims Vessela. THIS ISN'T ONE OF THOSE WORLD MUSIC BANDS WITH WOODEN FLUTES AND SYNTHS...THIS BURNS! Wicked ethno-groove drumming, metal guitar and gypsy violin pulling you out of your seat or into your headphones, chilling you out and giving you a salsa slap on the ass! 'There were people in Yugoslavia and Uruguay listening to Guns-N-Roses in high school just like I was." Troy says "now you get musicians who are bringing that kind of energy to their traditional music.' It's world/rock fusion music coming at us from the other direction." |
