The Modelos
Vancouver's Rock 'n' Roll Cowboy Surfers!
The Modelos are Vancouver's Rock 'n' Roll Cowboy Surfers! The group was formed in 2004 when Joe Rotundo and Mike Kenney collaborated in a songwriting adventure that would produce tunes like, "Somewhere West" & "Death Ranch". Brad Ferguson and Geoff Hicks were the natural selection as the rhythm section and thus born was The Modelos! The band has three albums available, the first self-titled CD was released in 2006, the second, "Saddle Justice" released in 2008, and their latest, "Barrel Fever" a 7" Vinyl EP released in 2019. The group has a unique style that mixes surf-instrumentals with an alternative country sound. If you get a chance to see the band live, don't miss it. Their spirited energy and stage antics will have you riding high and shouting for more!
“Apparently they’re from Vancouver, Canada, which means they are likely to smell like a moose and push some universal health care on you.
Otherwise, they’re a great sounding
rockabilly/surfy/spaghetti western band.”
