Not so much a band as a force of nature, Thee Leviathans appear without warning, strike hard, then fade back into the night. Powerfully melodic and cinematic instrumental music has long been the cornerstone of guitarist Patrick O’Connor’s reputation in the surf music community, an approach built on high-energy performances and high-melody compositions. 

For two decades, he has provided one half of The Madeira's twin guitar attack with Ivan Pongracic of the Space Cossacks, while contributing some of the band's most beloved anthems. His song “Undercurrents” even inspired the creation of a Madeira-themed tribute band in Romania. The Madeira produced four award-winning studio albums and two live albums, including Center of the Surf, engineered by the legendary Mark Linett of Beach Boys fame, as well as supplying opening theme music for the documentary film Sound of the Surf. O'Connor has supported or appeared alongside legends of the genre, such as Paul Johnson of the Belairs and the Surfaris, Jim Skaithitishis of the Atlantics, John Blair of Jon and the Nightriders, and even the King of Surf Guitar himself, Dick Dale. 

With support from longtime collaborators Savannah O'Connor (keys), Ed Cho (rhythm guitar), Aric Harris (bass) and Steven Hinckley (drums), Thee Leviathans combine reverb-heavy guitar tones with alternately vibrant and ominous layers of keys, held together by impactful rhythms. Thee Leviathans are mysterious, playful and musically adventurous, supplying both the immersive atmospherics and melodic heft for which the instrumental surf genre has come to be known.
