Breast stroking through the Sea of Green, I travelled far and wide across Strawberry Fields to find the Love. Taking the 13th Floor Elevator past the Stereolab I heard a most curious sounds coming from the Byrds that were melting and dripping in front of my very eyes. Following them I found a band. A most curious band. With its' sounds created for the expansion of time and space I decided it most important to let them plead their case.
Pulling out a fresh and crisp Kool Aid Acid Test and number 2 pencil, Matt Thomas began his trip the light fantastic avec les garcons musique from TheHoa Hoas.

ROLE CALL/INSTRUMENTS
Richie, Lee and Femke all play guitar vocals bass and some keyboards'¦we switch it up....and thank god we've got Shane Airplane playing drums and percussion ..... it's fun that way to change instruments you get different sounds that way...

Is there a mysterious Srgnt Pepper style reason for you boys and your band
member names...ie.Shane '˜S.S. Airplane'˜ Kurenoff ?

We really love our influences and we want to carry on things like that
cause well it makes it cooler !!! But really it's a throwback to the 60's
man shane...airplane....in the sky . jefferson airplane. High inner
flight ...Johnny Thunders ...Matt Hollywood that sort of fuckin' around ..

If the Hoa Hoas were around in the Liverpool and or Manchester scene what
would you have done and who would you have hung out with for kicks?

We'd probobly be dead .. or retired with millions... we'd be in a band
called the Luv Luv's or something crazy ... would have hung out with Primal
Scream , Happy Mondays , SPACEMEN 3 .... But since I havent exactly
figured out time travel....(not yet)... it's hard to say really ..

How much do you like Brian Jones...do you like like him or just like him and
why?

OH! BRIAN JONES how I love you so..... Like ? yeah right The word
is LOVE because listen to those fucking Tunes man !!! The rolling stones
'64 -68 AMAZING !!!!

Pretend you just ate your weight in Peyote and give us a SHORT rant on how
you feel the music.

How to feel music: Step one: Love it. Step 2: Feel it. Step 3: Take
it. And Step 4: GIVE it back. The peyote has nothing to do with it
really but I guess it would be a lot of fun if you didn't have to stand or
think .. I couldn't imagine taking that stuff.

What can you tell us about the folks of Yummy Recordings?

YUMMY RECORDINGS is Joe Lapinski's label outta St. Catharines and he is a
great man, plays tons of music as well with bands such as Palooka, solo
stuff ,woodchoppers and just crazy jams in general. He also puts on a lot
of shows in St. Catharines and records other bands too. He's cool look him
up.... we have a new album almost finished that we did in his studio

If the Hoa Hoas live show was a 60's film what would it be, who would it
star and how would it play out?

If it was a 60's flick it would be called " Tripping Out and Having Fun
with The Hoa Hoa's and Friends" and all these crazy jams would go
down...Pink Floyd , Love ,13th Floor Elevators , The Velvet
Underground....It would star those people and we would have a wicked party ,
film it and that would be it...Go home for the comedown

Us Wavelengthers want to know...how will you set the mood so we'll put out?

How could we set the mood so you put out??? Refer to the question about
how to feel it ...Once you feel it you can really start to spread it
....plus we're good looking our guitars are so cool it's easy

And...what will the heightened plane of existence be like when you take us
there.

As the President of Space, Sonic Boom from spacemen 3, said .... "Desert
sands, the secret plan, the lords own knowledge is in your hands...you
gotta open up your mind and let EVERYTHING come through ....." plus I'm
really looking forward to listen to The Ride Theory and Clydesdale ..I dig
those groups... Outta Sight, Deep Inside www.thehoahoas.com
