Phatlynx!!

There are thousands of local bands in the United States and you never hear their stories.

The Raleigh-Durham area's favorite pork-obsessed Surfabilly band, Phatlynx (pronounced "FAT-links") was conceived as a one-off show/group to get as many people as they could fit into Chapel Hill, NC's The Cave to play the Link Wray song "Rumble" at the same time. They did that, and had such a good time, they've kept going, playing more shows and adding more songs, some of which aren't by Link Wray but still have the same rockin', low-fi attitude. What keeps these four middle aged men rockin' despite growing older, having families, and trying to pay the bills?
