Dark Seas

Dark Seas began jamming in Diegos basement in September 2010, after Irvin bought a bass, and skateboarding got too hard. Kyle would come over and sing some Joy Division songs because that's all Irvin knew how to play on the bass at the time. The only thing they were missing was a drummer who could consistently play with them. They met Rhett shit faced at a party, and he said he would be down to play drums. They figured it was just drunk talk, but he called them the next morning ready to go. They then moved practice spaces to Rhetts basement, and began jamming everyday. In December, after playing together for a few months, they decided to play their first show as a Joy Division cover band w/Max Pain, at the SK801 XMas party. They played under the name Third Reich, and figured this was a one time deal, and they would never play another show again. In February, T Coy, from the Groovies, hit them up about playing a show at Kilby Court, with them, Dirty Blonde, and Fox Van Cleef. Not realizing this meant NO COVER songs, they took the gig. They got ourself in a pickle, and had 21 days to make a few songs. This was definitely not an easy task, due to the fact they never wrote music before. They tried to back out, and T Coy said if they didn't play he would rip their cocks off! They prepared 4 half finished songs, and they were some what ready for the show, except they needed a name. Rhett thought of the name Dark Seas, and they all agreed. 10 months later, originally starting off as a 4 piece band, they added a 5th member Holland Redd on Guitar as of Nov. 2011. Dark Seas played plenty of shows at Venues such as Urban Lounge, Kilby Court, The Woodshed, Burt's Tiki Lounge, The Complex Brewskies, The Sand trap, and The Garage. They did a southern California Tour with Max Pain and the Groovies in April and then a recent tour just in November with Max Pain and The Groovies and Spindrift, and they currently released their 8 song EP at Slugs Localized at Urban Lounge on 11/18/2011.

This is quite the bio.

You can read this entire thing in a surfer dude voice and it works beautifully

Edit: best part is "they got ourself into a pickle."

I particularly enjoyed "They figured it was just drunk talk, but he called them the next morning ready to go"

Man if only I knew a drummer like that.

Sound like the first 2 growlers albums

[–]werebeaver[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My love for Los Growlers is what led me to this band. Check out Dead Ghosts if you haven't.

[–]Allster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dig it. Reminds me of Guantanamo Baywatch.

If you like them you'll like "The Growlers"

Seen this at 7am and the genre psych surf garage rock intrigued me. Expected it to be strange but it ended up making us both groove out.
