Are any of you women? Do any of you have women in your bands? What instruments do you/they play? I know of some "all-girl" surf bands, but few mixed gender.

We played two nights ago at a festival called Skuštrane in bradati in Maribor, Slovenia. The festival was designed to showcase women in popular music.

Before the show, we were interviewed for RTVSlovenia.

Check the "Surfer Joe Summer Festivals" videos and you will find many bands
that consists of girls or have a femal in their line-up.

Our drummer, Elena Pinto-Torres, is amazing, it's been such a thrill playing with her as she's gone from dusting off her old punk rock chops to thoroughly incorporating a huge range of influences and become one of the best drummers in town.
