WaveSauce
WaveSauce, an instrumental pulp / surf / spyfi band. The ethereal Theremin, vintage guitar tone, and
powerful rhythm give this band a tasty, reverbified edge that sets them apart from the rest. WaveSauce delivers unique
originals, creative renditions of traditional surf, spiced with their very own spyfi-pulp flavor. Beginning this musical
venture as a surf duo, guitarist, Pete Vercellotti and thereminist, Michele "Cookie" Heile formed WaveSauce in the Spring
of 2007. Now a dynamic 4-piece with Joel Boutwell on Bass Guitar and Doug Powers on Drums.

The Verbtones
These lads have a true love for today's surf music and a
respect for their surfin' forefathers that have influenced their unique
sound... a time capsule from yesterday that some how seems right for
today. They showcase their haunting, spine-chilling
vintage-yet-modern surf melodies to ho-dads and grimmy's in Oregon and
beyond.

Wells and traveled to the future, to perform and celebrate their femininity through their gift of dance. Without the
Victorian social constraints of the past, here they stand before you in the present, as the beautiful and iconic strong
