Text us about this show. It's pretty clear when you listen to Tim Case's music that his Wisconsin roots go deep into his soul.

THE SWONGOS are taking surf music into other dimensions

Text us about this show. The Swongos (Thomas Mangelsen - guitar, Lisa Mangelsen - bass, Brian Liggett - drums) are a surf band from NW Wisconsin (what?!) with a twist. Make that many twists. The foundation of their music is surf, but from there they add layers of exotica, spy, psychedelic rock, metal, alternative, and even jazz (thanks to vibes player Thomas Mattioli) for sonic creations that can be described best by just looking at their album cover art.
