The fried bikini project started before the music as a 
picture gallery for bouldering in engelberg in 2003. 
A year later it transformed into a blog for travelling, 
climbing and surfing with funny fictional stories 
and became climb2surf.com




Having recorded some songs on an classic 8-track in
2005 and starting to film with the first
still cameras in 2006, it was obvious to support
the movies with the recorded sounds. those were much 
liked on youtube, often for the music.
That was the turning point when music became the 
driving horse of the project and concert 
offers started to come in and a band was needed.

All ever since climbing and surfing remained
a very important part of the project.
It's the worldwide family of the climbing scene
that made the sounds of this project travel that far.
