Surreal Sound Studios is owned and operated by the following:
Joseph Lekkas
Partner, Bass Player & Driver of the Winnebago
Joseph is a local musician and show promoter who has “worked” for a million Philadelphia “institutions” and watering holes. In addition to having market tested every new beer exported to the city of Philadelphia over the last decade, Joe has been known to book an occasional rock show. He has been involved in Philadelphia nightlife for an aeon.
Asher Kahn
Partner, Hustler & Amateur Bob Sledder
Asher is a local musician who lives and works in Philadelphia. Asher has been playing in bands for almost 20 years and has gigged at more dirty bars and clubs than he can recall. 10 of those 20 years have been removed from his permanent memory through long nights with short term friends. He has successfully planned and promoted shows in the Philadelphia area for many years in addition to running a successful real estate business.
Chris Swenk
Managing Partner, Dark Overlord
Chris weighs in at 200lbs and hails from parts unknown. He’s a gin aficionado though claims “it all tastes the same after the first 4 or 5”. Chris spent many years working in the film industry in LA but came back to Philadelphia because he missed the cold, harsh, depressing winters.
Robyn Alezanders
Booking & Social Media Manager, Vegan Vamp, & Queen of the Underworld
Robyn’s partied at NYC goth clubs, played a baby-eating vampire on stage, and done a bunch of other interesting and possibly questionable stuff, that only a select few know about. Her 6-lb Hellhound, Tiny is always at her side, where in the comforts of her bat cave, she writes and creates spooky stuff, conjured from Muses we need not name.
Phil
Amp Repair Extraordinaire, Weekend Manager
Follow the smoke towards the broken amps…Phil is a valve technician screen printer and future resident of the dark quarters. He hails from California’s Central Valley and brings his tube amp repair experience (as owner/operator of 328 audio) to Surreal with one request: “FOR THE LOVE OF LEMMY NO DRINKS ON AMPS!!!”
