Surfin Dave And The Absent Legends

Surfin Dave And The Absent Legends was an indie band founded in the early 80's from Leeds. They released a 1986 LP, 'In Search Of A Decent Haircut', on Crammed Discs, as well as a single.. Then it was over a year later. Guitarist Chris Haskett returned to his American homeland shortly afterwards and in the following year founded the Rollins Band with Henry Rollins, Sim Cain and Andrew Weiss, with whom he was touring until 1997. Absent Legends founder Dave Coleman still performs sporadically, solo or with friends.
==Links to Peel==
Peel rarely played much material from this group and probably heard from them via Andy Kershaw, who discovered the band in 1981, when the group sent him a demo tape, whilst he was at Leeds University.
