The Wave
Chargers play surf music in a pure 60s tradition with lots of energy. French
magazine Rock & Folk said, "they perpetuate the surf genre with a
sound and attitude worthy of the early sixties Californian bands." Even
though there's no waves in Paris, not even a slight lapping on the Seine river,
watch out as the tsunami will come from The Wave Chargers' reverb drenched live
shows and wash you away!

BIO
-----------------------------
Here is "Caravelle" the second album of
The Wave Chargers.
The Wave Chargers are four young people active in
the Parisian underground since 2015.
Four musicians playing energetic and sexy surf
music at the same time.
After two EPs and an LP ("The Wave
Chargers" 2019) noticed by the public and the media (Rock & Folk,
Rolling Stone, FIP, France 24, Radio 3-rtve) the group returns to what it knows
how to do better: mainly surfing instrumental music (think Californian sixties
bands), but this time also with an eye towards other geographical and
cinematographic horizons.
These so-called horizons, they opened them up
after the release of their first album. Too confined as they were to wait for
the resumption of concerts, they took the opportunity to work as composers and
session musicians for the needs of several catalog music. Surf, jazz, yé-yé,
rock'n'roll projects, which regularly find their way to cinema or television
("L'Evènement" Golden Lion - Venice 2021, various Netflix series or
films ("Emily In Paris” “Madame Claude”), France TV, Discovery Channel).
Additional experiences that allowed The Wave
Chargers to show that they were not just an instrumental surf music group, but
four talented musicians who can play what they want, and give a whole richness
to this second album.
From the surf theme that makes you want to tap
your feet all along, from winks to beach party movies from Annette Funicello
and Frankie Avalon, passing through Hawaiian atmospheres, references to the
Japanese Eleki, or a detour to the West and North African coasts, this
Caravelle trip is a short world tour in less than 30 minutes.
