THE SEX RAYS

"The Sex Rays are cool, in a '60s/'70s way. Best described as Sex Pistols meets Link Wray, they play rock 'n' roll party music." - Cyn Collins, KFAI DJ [City Pages]

Floating around Minneapolis in late 2010, three dirty rockers coming from their broken bands to form a new psycho-surf-garage outfit called, "THE SEX RAYS" Formed in 2010, they bring a vintage sound punk beach party. These Ya-Ya's are swinging the bat hard and fast towards Link Wray's guitar laden beginnings and then shaking it up in a acid martini glass with a shot of Chuck Berry, a beer back of the Ramones, and a hit of 13th Floor Elevators.
