After the unexpected breakup of Spartan Apartments, Chuck was frustrated at the prospect of having to write a whole new set of songs with a new band before being able to play another show. His former bandmate Javier Ochoa had impressed with the success of Led Zeppelin Tribute band "The Song Remains The Same". Chuck decided to try his hand at the tribute game, but it would have to be music that was ingrained in him. In short order he recruited friends Rob Rutar, Rob Mathews and Cami Rawlings to join him in Surfer Rosa, a tribute to The Pixies. After a year or so of focusing on Surfer Rosa the band members drifted off to other original projects, but they still reunite once a year or so for a fun Pixies tribute show. In 2016 Jessica Errett replaced Cami on bass.
