The Farfisas formed in early 2011 on Long Island, NY by Frankie who was at that time performing with a rockabilly band named \\u2018Hey Hey, Why Why?\\u2019 and living out of a Winnebago. He ran in to Freddie who worked at a local bait and tackle shop. The two hit it off and decided to form their own band.

After seeing Fredo and Philip performing as the duo \\u2018Rude Dude\\u2019, Frankie coaxed them to join what would eventually become the Farfisas. Everyone took the surname \\u2018Farfisas\\u2019 as a tip of the hat to The Ramones.

Without any record company support, the band booked all their own shows along the south shore. They quickly grew a following of hair stylists and several used car dealers who were in between jobs.

\\n

Their debut CD \\u2018Surf, Far \\u2013 Surf Good\\u2019 is available on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon and other popular non brick and mortar locations.
