The Medflys

Mixing sunny pop, upbeat ska and crunchy New Wave rock with quirky and over-the-top theatrics, the five-piece band The Medflys hit it big in the 1980s with regional FM-radio hits such the teen-angst rebellion of “Belfast”, the upbeat dance groove of “Compulsive,” the California love-in vibes of “State of Mine” and the clever, spaghetti western-inspired, “Don't Mess With The Mayor,” a tribute Clint Eastwood's 1986 mayoral campaign in Carmel. Throughout the '80's, The Medflys had multiple opening slots with high-profile artists such as Joan Jett, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oingo Boingo, Huey Lewis & the News, Violent Femmes, Night Ranger, Greg Kihn and Toto. The band has recently embarked on a successful reunion tour, playing venues in Monterey, Santa Cruz, Felton, Salinas, Sand City and San Juan Capistrano.
