Lately, you can discover Serrano, in the movie "Boom" about the cult Garage Punk Rock from Seattle: The Sonics, directed by the talented American filmmaker Jordan Albertsen of Los Angeles. Yvan formed his Dustaphonics project in London in 2008, when American actress Tura Satana (Russ Meyer's Faster Pussy Cat Kill Kill) asked him to create songs for his next film. For the best result, Serrano invited 4 young singers who had never played Rock N Roll on stage or in the studio to be front ladies. Aina was in the London hip-hop scene. Kay was in London's underground jazz scene.
