THE CONCAVES, HARD ROCK SURF BAND:

    The Concaves, Santa Cruz's own original surf culture explosion is stoked to announce the release of their album "Warning, Heavy Surf Advisory".

    The Concaves are a power trio made up of Bill 'dogfish' Pitts, Mongo Celebrado and J.D. Anderson, local surfer-musicians. This Bona Fide Heavy Surf is at the heart of the next wave of original surf music. Their passion and love of surfing is evident in the music that they play and write. They are trying to take instrumental surf music to a fresh, un-ridden spot.

    Jared Anderson, along with Bill Pitts and Mongo Celebrado, have put together original music on an album that has received two thumbs up and four stars from music reviewers such as Phil Dirt. The album "Warning, Heavy Surf Advisory" is attracting attention and blowing minds on radio stations all over the country, as well as from Brazil all the way to Russia.

    Bill and Jared are the song writers- guitarists and Mongo is the drummer of this close-knit trio. Their songs are moody, psychedelic and moving.

    Mongo, since a young man, has played in various groups, including dance bands, to support his family. J.D. has played in punk and hard rock bands from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles. Dogfish has played blues, punk rock, psychedelic and even jazz, but his first band was a local first wave surf band and that is where his heart has always been.

    And, of course, the enthusiasm is felt equally by all in the band and by all that hear them play live.
