- Text by Shelley Jones
Betty and The Shark are an indie-rock band based in Biarritz, France. Here, lead singer and Roxy surfer LeeAnn Curren sums up the good times and the bad times in a selection of eclectic songs.
What song best sums up your youth?
What’s the first song you associate with your journey in surfing/music?
What is your all-time favourite shred/making song?
If you’re feeling down what song lifts your mood?
Best mellow/relaxing/chill-out song?
What song gets you and your friends pumped to go out?
What song would you play at your wedding?
And your funeral?
You got a good break-up song?
What song do you most associate with home?
