The Tarantulas United Kingdom
Biography
The Tarantulas® formed in the early 1990's in Orlando Florida. Guitarist Randy J (Shams) and Drummer Chris Valentino, who had played together in other projects around the central Florida area, created the foundation for what would end up becoming an early 60's influenced surf trio. The two musicians had previously played shows together at local venues and clubs using a much more experimental approach than what would later develop into an extension of the traditional surf music of the early 60's.
