This may be a record for a rock band. We recorded with producers known for their work with Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, the Beach Boys, and Ike & Tina Turner. We later headlined a concert in Honolulu.įrom 1972 to 1975, Honk was featured at high school and college concerts all over California, as well as at LA hot spots such as the Whiskey Au Go Go and the Troubadour. That year, we produced the music for a very popular film on surfing called “Five Summer Stories.” One of the songs on that sound track LP – “Pipeline Sequence” – became a #1 hit in Hawaii and climbed the charts in Australia. The Honk Band began in Laguna Beach in 1970. This package includes all 20 selections as well as the cover art and the booklet. In 2004, both albums were remastered and released on a single CD. A second LP was recorded by 20th Century but never released as an LP. The cover showed clay figures of the band. The first HONK LP was released by Twentieth Century Records in 1973. The 2 albums on 20th Century are now available as a download. Have you seen the video retrospective of Honk? Check it out! Anyone remember this one? I don’t! What year was it? HONK News
