Formerly known as THE CASCADEZ

About Me

Hank Sundown & The Bopsters started out in March 2001 as The Cascadez. After a few years og gigging and boozing we had the pleasure of contributing with two songs for Mike Lynams "Friday Nite Rumble" samplers. We also had over 10 000 downloads from our website. Songs like "Grandpa Stole My Baby" and "Backseat Boogie" were recorded on a minidisc player in our rehearsal studio. The quality was questionable, but people seemed to like our songs anyway!After a few line up changes we released our first full length CD, "10 000 Miles To Memphis", on the Rockaround label in 2006. A 1000 copies were made and they are almost sold out now (December 2007). We had a local radio hit with "Sweet Lorraine" (1 for 5 weeks) and we also got som national air play. The CD sold well in Sweden, Germany and England...and of course Norway. We also sold CDs to Spain, France, Holland, Finland, Brazil and Japan. Sadly the band decided to take a break shortly after the release and we didn´t get to capitalize on the "success".But watch this space, things might be happening in 2008........

Welcome!

OK, so we´re finally on MySpace! Well, actually The Cascadez are not playing together at the moment. We haven´t really split, we have just taken a break. The main reason for this is that we don´t have...
