"The Hadjis" are Delbert Dimwiddie (Ben Marsen) and Go Go Gomez (Steve Mahlberg) on lead/rhythm guitar, GorilleRoux (Brian LeRoux) on bass, and Ape (Nick Cameron) on drums. The core of "The Hadjis" (Ben & Steve) began playing together in 1990 with such bands as "The Swanks" (Ska), "Howling Colon with Pepto Dismal" (Alternative), "José Peñéz" (Techno), and "The Pedophile Priests" (Alternative/Techno).

These two hooked up with Matty S. and Dan H. around '94 and "The Hadjis" were born. Unfortunately this ended in '96 when Matty quit the drums to hug trees in Utah and Dan left for Minneapolis after his equipment was stolen from a dive in Superior, Wisconsin! Fortunately Brian and Nick's band "Gregory Spell" disbanded about the same time making them available to join Ben and Steve..."The Hadjis" were reborn!!!

Influences include a rather eclectic range of musical stylists, including Paul Burlison (Johnny Burnette Trio), Brian Setzer (Stray Cats), Poison Ivy (Cramps), Reverend Horton Heat, and Roger Miller!?! And try as we may, who can forget Dick Dale, who's kind of a pud. Other influences include Hank Garland, Cliff Gallup, James Burton, Bullmoose Jackson, and Hamm's beer.

If you dig SURF and ROCKABILLY, you'll FLIP for "The Hadjis"...nearly everyone who has heard them wigged out!!!
