Surplus 1980

Oakland, California

Masterminded by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's Moe Staiano, Surplus 1980 is a whip-smart musical collective from Oakland, CA. Taking cues from the angular punk bands of the 1980s, Surplus 1980 fuses a fierce, muscular attack with experimental out-jazz and couples that with Staiano's playful lyrics, updating the angular rhythms of post-punk's old guard to a modern-day soundtrack of uneasy listening.
