“El Borko’s “home base” is The Monkey’s Paw, guitarist Brook Adams says. And if you haven’t seen El Borko play there while slurping down a Mai Tai, they take the sunbaked Southern California surf rock sound and add in a dark, B-movie edge that you might find from ’80s era Chicano surf rock band the Plugz with the psychobilly twist of The Cramps. It’s the kind of music that was made for driving through Los Angeles in the early moments of sunrise — or if you’re running away from The Blob in a black and white movie.” - Henry Houston

“I really enjoyed that show last night. Just incredibly orchestral, with bass, sax and guitar doing all those melodies and arrangements... Thank you for an awesome time and some fantastic music.” - Marty Chilla

— Sugar Beets Band

“In the Pacific Northwest, playing electrifying surf guitar as part of El Borko, Brook always brings something fresh and innovative to his creative output. ” - Thomas Hilton
