Canada’s original Surf Punk Instrumentalists caught the second wave of surf music between ’79 and ’82. Groovy teenagers who played with many punk and new wave bands, confusing audiences everywhere.

Reuniting in 2014, the retro-fitted Wasagas have released four full length LPs, all reaching #1 in the international surf music charts. Based in Toronto, they‘re a staple on the Canadian Rockabilly/Garage/Surf scene. They have toured steadily in Canada and the US with some limited shows in Europe, including the Surfer Joe Summer Festival in Livorno, Italy.

Mark Malibu and the Wasagas are officially endorsed by Hallmark Guitars and play matching gold sparkle Swept Wings. Their music has appeared in the “Hudson and Rex” and “Good Witch” TV series, as well as in the horror films “Beyond the Chamber of Terror” and “Frat Fright”. They‘ve also created a jingle for Harmon‘s Non-Alcoholic Craft Beer. And with four “Surfin’ Kitty X-mas” records, that they’ve produced, they have raised thousands of dollars for a cat sanctuary in Grand Bahamas.

Considered a touchstone of the Toronto Surf Scene, the Wasagas mix their ’60s influences with an ’80s attitude and a modern approach. Often accompanied by go-go dancer Starlotte Satine they put the WOW back into the show, making friends where ever they go!
