The Secret Samurai

The Secret Samurai is a high energy instrumental surf rock trio from San Diego, CA. Formed in 2005, their music combines Middle Eastern, Eastern European, Latin, and Asian influences with surf rock to create some of the most original and compelling music in the genre today. The trio consists of wiley vetrans of San Diego's independent music scene (including members of Surf Report and Big Tension.)

The band released their debut CD, GUN-SHO-GUN, in 2008. Their highly anticipated sophmore album, Zanshin, produced by Dave Klein (Agent Orange, The Bomboras, The Ghastly Ones) will be released in March 2011 (just in time for Anime Conji!!) The Secret Samurai have toured the western U.S. and have opened for surf rock luminaries such as Laika & The Cosmonauts, Agent Orange, The Space Cossacks, and Daikaiju. Witness the shape of surf to come?
