Latest Note from Steve
Surfing With The Hydra 2026 US dates!
Hey folks, I’m very excited to announce that Joe & I will be touring together again in 2026! And this time we’re bringing Animals As Leaders.
The SatchVai Band Summer Euro tour of 2025 far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Joe and I struck pure jammin’ gold night after night. Being in the same band with Joe, playing songs we actually wrote together on stage, in real time felt like watching a childhood fantasy step out of my teenage brain and stroll onto the stage. And somehow, it was even more rewarding, satisfying, and downright fulfilling than I ever thought possible.
