Donning Halloween masks, Tiki Heads, and Day of the Dead regalia onstage, the fivesome tempered their retro-stylings with an update by way of The Ramones, The Pandoras, and Nuggets. Accompanied by frenzied Go Go girls, spitting flames, stage-diving, and destroying their own equipment, the Bomboras’ livid funhouse take on 145 Surf became an object of fan adoration, but a pest to the LAPD, who targeted the band’s outrageous shows much as they have targeted other ‘dangerous’ LA bands, most memorably Black Flag.
The Bomboras took their name from a classic surf instrumental by the Original Surfaris (not to be confused with a different song with the same title, "Bombora," by the Australian surf combo The Atlantics) and released several albums on Dionysus Records between 1995 and 1997. Rob Zombie took notice of the band and signed them to his then newly-formed Zombie a Go-Go label, which was distributed by Geffen Records. The Bomboras finally called it quits in 2000 with some of the members forming The Lords of Altamont and some continuing rocking as the Legendary Invisible Men.
On December 31st, 2006, New Years Eve of 2007, The Bomboras played a return show in Hollywood.
