The Huhu

+

The Huhu have been going for a w h i l e. They’re not in a hurry. Last century, Brett and Simon used to play together in Marineville. Simon could’ve met Brett earlier in the last century, if, when the occasion arose to join a band, he'd said yeah rather than nah.

After a while Brett left Marineville, then after another while, Simon left Marineville. Then after another while, Brett and Simon thought that they’d still like to play together (no, not that way, get your mind out of the laundry). Brett roped in his tenant from next door Craig, to play guitar. They worked out a bunch of songs, and half recorded them (One day Brett will do the vocals). Then Craig moved to Christchurch.

Brett and Simon were left guitarless, they mucked around for a while and wrote some more songs.

Then Ross Kettle joined, and they played a selection of gigs, to small audiences. Then Ross left to follow the call of the banjo with The Hi-Aces.

Brett and Simon were left guitarless, they mucked around for a while and wrote some more songs (again).

Jules expressed interest in jamming, and did so for a while, helping write some more songs. Then Craig moved back from Christchurch after a few years, bring it all full circle. They did some more recordings, to complete the E.P Greetings from Vogeltown West, out now on Stinkbuzz.

In their spare time: Brett’s involved in StinkBuzz records, and records with his friend Dr Rhythm as “Return of the Wahlbergs”. Craig produces solo material as “Insert Name Here”. Simon plays drums in “The Hi-Aces”.
