A lot has happened since the Chicago trip. HSA received national radio air play, and six tracks from the album were used in surf video soundtracks. A European and West Coast tour are in the works. In between beer runs, these Sleazefest standouts have made a name on the national touring circuit, playing with bands such as Dick Dale, Davie Allen and the Arrows, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Frantic Flatops, The Space Cossacks, The Aqualads, The Surfaholics, The Surftones, Deadbolt, and Satan's Pilgrims. T he B alboas play with an intensity and recklessness that is missing in many of the new wave of surf bands.
Serious grooves occur.
They are as rough on equipment as they are on eardrums. The Balboas are a powerful combination of musicians dedicated to bustin' sticks, strings, and boards.
