Watang! Miss Wong

(Watang! is a surf-instro project wanted by El Sentenza, banjo player from the Legendary Kid Combo, together with Marla’O, guitar player from the all-female italian garage queens The Cleopatras.
This first rate Italian Garage/Surf band comes with their own brand of wyld instrumental kink, mixed the influences of The Bomboras, Fuzztones, The Ventures & Dick Dale with bloody Far East vibes. Hi-Profilic Reverb/Fuzz/Organ driven tunes as ya all wanna meet here on Surfadelic. Their sound creates an CINEMATIC surf experience like it was made for some lost 70’s Hong Kong KUNG-FU flick, alternative soundtrack for "Enter The Dragon" or some Takashi Miike KILLER extravaganza. One of the best new surfin’ stuff I heard lately, so don’t you dare miss it! Say… WATANG!

* previously unreleased)Watang! is a surf-instro project wanted by El Sentenza, banjo player from the Legendary Kid Combo, together with Marla’O, guitar player from the all-female italian garage queens The Cleopatras.
This project was born at the beginning of last summer ’13, with the help of Barba San, from the Italian beat band The Albino’s, Cecilia Ann, famous bass based indie-pendent songwriter and Mimmì, one of the best and eclectic drummers of the Garda Lake area.
The former idea was to create a standard surf combo, then after a couple of weeks in the basement, the project took a different shape, mixing the musical tastes of all the musicians involved. The original surf sound took a different direction, moving towards the surf revival of the 90’s, the garage beat revival, and the traditional Oriental melodies from the Far East area.
All the imaginary and the artwork was inspired by the oriental Z movies, martial arts and fancied mysterious stories from ancient east.

The band wear original Kung Fu kimonos and the (dragon) ladies are dressed like famous almond eyed movies star actresses. Among the main influences of the band you can find The Bomboras, Ghastly Ones, Satan’s Pilgrims, mixed with The Ventures, Takeshi Terauchi, The Fuzztones, Gravedigger V, Roky Erikson, The Pixies, The Cramps, Link Wray, Johnny Thunders, the Gun Club, Dick Dale, Question Mark and the Mysterians and more!
