Hometown: Athens, Greece

Dirty Fuse were formed in 2008 by guitarist Duda Victor and drummer Chris Kogios in order to explore the frenzied world of surf rock. Mainly influenced by Dick Dale, Ventures, Atlantics, Ramones and Televison, their music is based on old school '60s surf music, channeled through the energy of garage and punk rock.

Dirty Fuse Lost Riders

As a trio (Guitar-bass-drums) begin wandering the live bars and venues of Athens playing mostly their own music. After a few lineup changes in mid 2009 they recorded their first songs which will be released a year later on 7 "vinyl "Lost Riders".

Dirty Fuse CD

During 2010, Manos Kisamitakis (saxophone) John Drake (bass) and Costas Bakoulas (guitar) added to the band, along with Duda Victor and Chris Kogios. In 2012 Dirty Fuse released a self-titled, full-length CD including the track "Sunset Beach" (a surf cover of V. Tsistanis' "Akroyalies Dilina") which meets great acceptance by DJs and radio producers (voted #47 of the 101 best surf tracks worldwide since the '70s by the listeners of North Sea Surf Radio and the members of the SurfGuitar101.com forum).

Dirty Fuse Surfbetika

In 2013 the band released a 10" vinyl titled "Surfbetika!" with 7 rebetika songs surfed up! Continuous shows and dynamic live presence became Dirty Fuse`s trademark throughout the years.
