Quirky 60's garage rock is re-imagined from the nose of a surfboard, making High Waisted feel like a psychedelic lullaby. NYC surf rockers with pop sensibilities and an affliction for rock and roll. Named NME Magazine’s “buzz band to watch,” the group has completed a national tour to SXSW and released Acid Tapes Vol. 1 and 2. Their debut album, recorded at Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY, with renowned producer Bryan Pugh, is set to release January 2016. The band was born from friendship, over beers and burgers on Ludlow Street in NYC’s lower east side. These four friends share sibling kitties, live together, and enjoy writing music on acid. Having continuously sold out NYC venues, the group is known for organizing and promoting their own shows in unexpected locations such as yachts, warehouses and rooftops. Every show High Waisted plays becomes the ultimate party.
