We started in January 2000 in the Ghent area (Belgium that is), as a classic instrumental surf music band, the Hawaiian Astro Boys have now evolved into new universes.
Although we’ve always been playing own written songs, our set list contained the well known covers of the Shadows, Dick Dale, the Ventures and many others and soundtrack tunes like Hawai-5-0, 007, … (and if you ask gently, we still like to play one of those immortal melodies). Nowadays, we developped a style, described by some people, and we trust their judgement on this one, as ‘Sci-fi-Neo-Power-Surf, Injected with Garage!!!’ (So, how does that sound?)The first cd of the Hawaiian Astro Boys has been recorded in November 2001 in the Yellow Tape Studios, Ghent, entitled ‘the Hawaiian Astro Boys’ and is sold out by now. In the Buy stuff section you can read critics by Phil Dirt, Double Crown Records and Billy Bop and if you don’t own it, regret it!!! But hey!!! You can also listen to some extracts.December 2004, we have been recording our second cd in the N9 building, Eeklo. It’s called ‘Thank you sir, may I have another’ and in our humble opinion: it’s even better than the first one!!! You can buy this treasure at the Buy stuff section.In the years, the Hawaiian Astro Boys have been playing on many occasions, playing on no stage up to the big stages of international festivals, meeting and playing with a lot of Belgian and international surf bands. In the History section you’ll find a small overview of gigs and bands the Hawaiian Astro Boys played with.As a true and dedicated fan, you want to be kept informed about what the Hawaiian Astro Boys are doing.
