Return Engagement

The Torquays capture the sight, sound, drive and excitement of Instrumental Music at its peak with Steve Soest and Armin Brown on electric guitar, Don Parra on bass guitar and Duff Paulsen on drums, marimba and electric guitar. With their matching outfits and matching guitars and amps, The Torquays take the audience to a musical era that is as fresh today as it was in the days of Hot Rods, Hodads, Greasers and Gremmies. Reviewer Robert Kinsler wrote about the group, "The Torquays sound is at once graceful, powerful and haunting. Like the surfers who make wave riding the largest of waves look effortless, The Torquays have found a similarly magic way of riding sonic waves." Return Engagement is a collection of 'original only' Torquay tunes from their frist two out-of-print, unavailble albums "A Date With..." and "Road Trip!", plus live versions and a 'rare' demo.
