They're latest album is called "Highwave to Hell" and they are one of the standout bands on the recent "Brave New Surf" compilation. Check out their moody new video "Kodachrome Wipeout" at http://vimeo.com/42921707

LOS VENTURAS from Belgium, shocked the audience at the 2012 Surfer Joe Festival in Italy with their updated, soulful sound. Dressed like 70's swingers and rockin' the wah-wah on many songs, the grooves inspiring the crowd to sway like lithium was in the air. Los Venturas new album, "Kaleydoskop" will be available for this, their second, US tour. Check out their live version of Tommy James' "Dizzy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGo4dsGwayg
