Aloha boys and girls,

after some nice shows in various european countries, we’re getting ready for our 10th anniversary party on May 11 at the Schlachthof in our hometown Wiesbaden.

We hope to see a lot of friends and familiar faces. Be prepared for some funky new songs, some cool new cover versions and our usual rockin’ stage appearance! If you want to bring a cake, you’re welcome!

Please turn up on time, we play early and before us there are the brillant Phantom Four from the Netherlands. Don’t miss them, it’s their only German show!

Afterwards you can party all night long with the THE SWING DING: DO THE HULA-HULA-BALKAN-TWIST DJ team and have a beer with us….

See you in May!!!

Getting ready for takeoff…

After a two and a half months break, we’re getting ready for our 10th anniversary tour. Yes, you heard right..it’s 10 years ago that we started to hit the world with reverb drenched, super fast instrumentals and it’s time to celebrate!

We start the tour with a weekend in Germany, then travel to France, Luxemburg, Italy, Belgium, Holland and the UK. Our big birthday party will happen in our hometown Wiesbaden on May 11th. See you there!

Apart from that, we have new members. Please welcome Ralph Razorblade on the drums and Rudolf/Randy/Random Razorblade on the bass guitar. Since Ray and Regina want to pursue other musical adventures, it was time for a change. The new lineup has been getting in shape. We’re already working on new songs for the next record and added some new coverversions to the setlist. You’ll be surprised!

OK, see you at one of the shows. Here’s the list:

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Rob — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:24:51 +0000

Aloha boys and girls,
the year comes to an end. It was the most turbulent year EVER for the little surf band from Wiesbaden. Here are a few numbers for your entertainment:

71 shows in 11 countries

33000 km

5 drummers, 2 bassplayers, 1 guitarist

1 new record with 19 songs

We had tons of great shows, saw amazing places and met wonderful people everywhere. Thanks to everyone, who set up a gig, cooked for us, gave us a place to sleep (we appreciate it, even when it’s just a living room floor) or just came to the gig and had fun dancing, screaming and drinking..

So it’s time for a break…After wrapping up the year with a show at the Ponyhof in Frankfurt, we get off the road till march.

We wish you a happy time till spring. Have a nice christmas (if you still need presents, our shop is open 24/7), a happy new year and come back to the concerts in 2012…it’s our 10th aniversary then and we’ll be back with some surprises…Stay tuned!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Back On The Track!

Aloha,
after getting some sleep, fighting the jetlag and accustomizing to German life again, we got some news for you:

You can check out some videos from the US tour in our YOU TUBE CHANNEL

A tour report will be published in OX-Magazine 98, out on October 6th

We’re featured on a David Bowie Tribute Sampler called “Ziggy Played Surf Guitar”, which you can check out here. We speed up “All The Young Dudes” a little and Rob has fun with “Heroes”

We’re also getting ready for our fall tour, which will lead us through…let’s see…six countries, with a lot of dates in Germany. Hope to see you there! We will have the rest of the US-T-Shirts for sale, some 3 XL left, so if you need a new home for your family, drop by!

Ok, that should be enough to keep you entertained till the first European show at North Sea Surf Festival. See you there!!!

Back Home!

Rob — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:16:39 +0000

Aloha boys and girls,
the US-Tour was a blast! We travelled a few thousand miles, played at cool places and made tons of new friends! Big thanks to the great crowds we had, the wonderful bands we played with ( we realy loved Daikaju, Secret Samurai, Insect Surfers, 3 Balls Of Fire, Slacktone and our cute Italian Friends Bradipos IV) and all the guys that helped setting it up…from Bigtikidude to Dusty, Doug, Sean and the rest of helpful Americans.
We’ll be back!
To give you an impression, check out these pics. More soon on facebook and youtube!
We’re back on the road in a month…see you somewhere in Europe!

In full flight...

Rockin!

Rudi goin' wild

Only a short drive away...

New reviews, Model Shooting & Tons Of Tourdates!

Rob — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 12:24:42 +0000

Aloha Boys and girls,
the press says nice things about us…Check out the reviews below from Gitarre & Bass and Slam Magazine.

If you like to take a look at us dressed up rockabilly style, check out the latest catalogue of Rumble 59
,which is out now…
We play one more gig in Germany, tomorrow, before we go on an interesting trip in the summer..more about that later…If you prefer us loud and sweaty, check out the tourdates for the fall. We will travel around in Germany a little more and go to the UK, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.. Whoa, looking forward to that!
To make the summer more interesting, buy a shirt or a CD in the shop or at one of the mailorders, which carry the new album “GImme Some Noise!” Ok, stay tuned for some updates!

Nearly on the cover of the Rolling Stone!

Rob — Tue, 31 May 2011 09:42:04 +0000

Aloha guys,
we nearly made it on the cover of the Rolling Stone…no, just kidding, but we got a nice review from Wolfgang Doebeling, which you can check out here:

Sorry about no updates for a while, but we had to play a lot of shows in …hmm, let’s count….7 european countries, did a release party with singers, (which was great by the way…), promoted the new album, did a shooting for the brand Rumble 59 (take a look at the upcoming catalogue) and had to deal with the difficulties in the life of a rock’n'roll band..like broken down cars, broken shoulders of drummers, cancelled shows by promoters and other fun things…
Well, we won’t complain….life could be worse
We’re looking forward to some shows in Germany now, before we prepare for another adventurous trip in summer…more about that soon. There will be a David Bowie Sampler out soon…with a cool track by us…
Till then you can buy the new record (in case you didn’t do that already) and catch us at one of the shows…see you!!!

NEW CD AND VIDEO OUT!

Rob — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:26:18 +0000

Aloha boys and girls, we made it! The new CD “Gimme Some Noise!” is ready and available at iTunes, Amazon, CDbaby, guitar9 and Flight 13.

We think it’s our best one up to date and have some surprises for you: Besides 19 songs there are singers, tons of guitars and some stylistic elements you wouldn’t expect from us. Hope you enjoy the album!

We also did a video for the song Punk! Punk! Rocker! Check it out here:

On April 2nd we’re gonna have a big CD Release Party at the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden with some special guests…hope to see you there! Afterwards there will be more touring…Spain, France, Belgium & The Netherlands are waiting for us!
