The band's style of music is called "New Jersey Surf" which is a hybird of surf, blues, rock & roll and garage. The band consists of Mike Brajer (guitar & vocals), Wally Van Treek (bass & vocals) and Mike Hars (drums & vocals). The Chillers have over 100 original compositions to their credit that includes close to four dozen surf & hot rod numbers.Band/artist history
We started playing together in the late 1980's as a quartet. Then we were down to trio. For much of the 90's we played a mixture of originals and covers. Then in 2004 The Chillers released Indigo Surf and it recieved international airplay in many markets. We started playing more songs with a surf style mixed in with our rock & roll.Have you performed in front of an audience?We love to play live in the tri-state area NJ, NY & PA. We have a blast doing it . Several moments include when our drummer used to knock over his drum set after our set and anytime we play we try to make it special.
