Well lets see , fender reverb tank and Dick Dale & His deltones, so we came up with lets do the math (Reverb)+ (Deltones) = Verbtones ........>>>> The Verbtones .........Yeah very catchy...A Surf band has to have a surfy name of some kind ? .. And The Verbtones sounds vintage & modern it grabs the person ' it says 'hey its a surf band.

We play gigs once every month or so. That way we keep it fresh and
make our shows something to look forward to. In between gigs we polish
our sound, work on stage antics and write new songs or record.
Besides... the surf is always better after a few days of flat
conditions, right?
We play lots of clubs around Portland, but Duff’s Garage remains a
favorite. Duff’s showcases the best surf, rockabilly, roots and country
in Portland. The owner, Jon Wallace is a big surf fan and loves to have
surfin’ combos shaking up his club. He also has his own surf band, The
Volcanos and they rock!

Its a great way to reach music lovers all over the world; the surf
crowd and non-surf crowd. It has really opened a lot of doors for us.
Hey, I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s the wave of the future. Check us
