It was a warm summer night when the hulapunx decided to go to the beach and ride some waves. But suddenly this Tsunami came by and washed them over to Hamburg/Germany where the wind blows and the Elbe flows.Here they were. Lost. Only armed with a pair of bongos, ukulele, bass guitar, a lap steel and light clothings in the middle of strong cold german winter. What to do? Well, they played their first show on the continent and the crowd was amazed. Everybody thought this is a brand new trend. Not at all! The songs were all written in the late 60s. About 10 years the songs became popular when bands like The RAMONES, DEAD KENNEDYS, THE DAMNED, UNDERTONES, BUZZCOCKS, BLINK 182 played cover versions of them, added a little more roughness and slightly changed their names. These were songs like WAIKIKI BEACH (Rockaway Beach), HOLIDAY IN TAHITI (Holidays in Cambodia), SMELLS LIKE TIKI SPIRIT (Smells like Teen Spirit); ONE WAVE BEYOND (One step beyond), ANARCHY IN HAITI (Anarchy in UK).Now Hulapunk are stuck in Hamburg and they feel Homesick. But pennyless as they are they have play and play and play for the money for the flights. And sometimes they play and don't get payed. So they get ripped off from greedy club managers, as they are not very experienced in business affairs. They only know how to surf, make some music and live carefree on the long white beach...To be continued...
