The band’s name comes from an obscure Hunter S. Thompson book based on his adventures in Hawaii, while the album title comes from a collection of photos of people taken through the windows of their cars at an intersection in L.A. in 1970. Add to that a song titled “Ursula Andress,” for the essential 60’s “Bond girl” from the film “Dr. No,” and that should be enough to get your head spinning. The book's descriptions of sport fishing are great and the attendant tales imaginative. This is possibly the funniest fishing story ever written.

After the dissolution of their band, Hey Negrita, Felix Bechtolsheimer (lead vocals and guitar) and Neil Findlay (drums) formed Curse of Lono in 2015. The band's name comes from the title of Hunter S. Thompson's 1983 book, The Curse of Lono. [1] Bechtolsheimer and Findlay soon added [2] Joe Hazell (lead guitar), Dani Ruiz Hernandez (keyboards), and Charis Anderson (bass - ex Poussez Posse) to round out the group. [3] They released their debut eponymous EP in October 2016 through Submarine Cat Records. [4] The collection was produced by Oli Bayston. In support of the EP, the band went on a European tour with Uncle Lucius. [5] Interconnected music videos for the EP's four songs were compiled in a short film called, Saturday Night: A Film Of Four Songs, [6] which was released in conjunction with the EP. [7] The film would go on to appear in numerous film festivals and win the Best Music Video awards for both the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival and the London Independent Film Festival.

[8] Citation [ edit ] Thompson does the same for 2 week storm on the Big Island - again - not often mentioned in other travel literature.This is not a book the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce could ever endorse. This is not the Hawaii of blue skies, crystal seas and languid green palms. This is the alternate Hawaiian universe, a Dantesque version of a paradise as hell on earth. Leave it to Thompson to find that underbelly.
