“The band that launched a thousand bands.”
The best-selling instrumental band of all time.
The Ventures formed in Tacoma, Washington in 1958. The legacy kicked off with
the opening drum roll of 1960’s Walk Don’t Run, a #2 hit that would go on to sell
more than 2 million copies. From the garage, to the beach, to the stars, the
Ventures defined an entire decade of instrumental rock music.
A cultural and musical phenomenon bar none in the instrumental world, The
Ventures charted 37 records in 12 years, releasing a staggering number of now
classic tunes: "Walk Don’t Run", "Perfidia", "Lullaby of the Leaves", "Bulldog",
"Driving Guitars", "Surf Rider", "Apache", "Tequila", "Pipeline", "Wipe Out",
"Out of Limits", "Journey to the Stars", "Diamond Head", "Walk Don’t Run ’64",
"Slaughter on 10th Ave.", and the incomparable "Hawaii Five-O".
The Ventures have sold over a 100 million records. They were inducted into The
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
Known the world over for their blistering live show, including their legendary
show-stopping rendition of Caravan, the current line-up continues to deliver
dynamic and powerful performances.
