Speedball JR consists of Fré.74 on guitar, Beatgirl AleXandra on Bass, Freaky Frank on drums. and Sleazy Sandra as gogo girl. The band was formed in the summer of 2000 during Ghent’s (surfcity Belgium) famous surf explosion.  They originally played more traditional surf rock like Dick Dale, Bobby Fuller Four, The Chantays, Surfaris, the Ventures, Lively Ones and Blue Hawaïians. You can hear these influences on their first studio session which was recorded at the end of 2000 at Peter De Veire’s yellow tape studio. Later on they developed a more trashy sound with more garage and sixties influences and started to write their own tunes. Some of which were even used for publicity clips and for soundtracks by a local cinema chain and a German hot rod magazine. The High spot of 2001 for the band was when they did the support for British Garage Gods The Prisoners, but the band also gigged with a number of cool surf bands like Jon & The Nightriders, Slacktone, The Wangs among others, all the time they were honing their sound and finding their own place among these contemporaries.
