Now a Brooklyn institution, Surfbort have effortlessly blown the rafters off any pretense of cool with their irresistibly inclusive, cathartic, love drenched live shows and elemental, distilled, cannon of hits. John Doe (X) hailed their debut LP Friendship Music (2018 on Julian Casablancas’ Cult Records) as one of the 10 greatest punk records of all time alongside the Stooges, Ramones, Damned, Modern Lovers, Germs...etc, and Chris Stein and Debbie Harry (Blondie) named Surfbort as their favorite punk band. Live, Surfbort are an explosion of glee, a celebration of the moment together with their audience. Their attack is blistering and ecstatic: they will kill you with love.
In performance Miller is riveting, magnetic, and unifying: her ability to disinhibit an audience through her own disinhibition is exhilarating. Her charisma is such that you can’t take your eyes off her and you will go home thinking about her. Her ability to caricature and cartoon, mock and embody sexuality is like that of a beautiful, demented circus clown. She has created a new universal pan sexual physical vocabulary that feels referential and original all at once. She is a star. Plain and simple, and her vocal style iconic. Kilgore’s high pitched backing vocals punctuate time and again perfectly weaving with Millers’ reminiscent of X or Red Kross, his guitar thundering out like Greg Ginn or Lemmy while Head’s beautiful stabby style pierces in perfectly and underneath it all Powell murders his drums. You don’t hear this band live, you FEEL them. They will get you.
