notes

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.

Initially formed in 1964 by guitarist Jerry Gordon in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, the band has transformed over the years to the current line-up listed below. Some of the members of the group have played with various other Instrumental bands and musicians such as Dick Dale and the Del-tones, The Lively Ones, The Goofy Foots, Nokie Edwards of The Ventures, Bob Spickard of The Chantays and George Tomsco of The Fireballs.

Steve and Armin usually take to the stage with their matching blonde Fender Jazzmasters and their matching blonde Fender Dual Showman amplifiers...Don supplies the bottom end with his matching blonde Fender Precision Bass and matching blonde Fender PS400 all-tube amplifier. Duff rounds out the rhythm section with his 60's vintage champagne sparkle Ludwig Classics...On a few occasions he will trade his drums for his matching blonde Fender Jaguar and that's when Steve handles the drum chores. Makes for an interesting set...no doubt!
