Normil Hawaiians

NORMIL HAWAIIANS is the name used by the FAMILY HAWAII for both live musical events and recording projects. The FAMILY HAWAII originally formed in 1978 and lived together in South London where they would spend days together, jamming and recording, with the occasional live event. Several singles were released through RED RHINO RECORDS in the late 70's and early 80's, and the band continued to play at odd events. By 1982 the NORMIL HAWAIIANS found themselves signed to ILLUMINATED RECORDS, who released two albums over the next couple of years.

By the winter of 1985 the FAMILY HAWAII had decided to move to the south coast of England. By now the family had grown to such an extent that they set up several homes along the Kent and Sussex coast as well as setting up a base in Spain. Over the last few years the NORMIL HAWAIIANS have recorded regularly at DEMI MONDE's studio in Wales, FOEL, and now DEMI MONDE has decided to release a compilation of these recordings. The final mixes were undertaken by KEVIN ARMSTRONG, himself an original member of the FAMILY HAWAII, who has been working with THOMAS DOLBY, BOWIE, P.I.L. and many others over the last few years.
