A scatter-brained and perhaps drunken recording entity
based on the collective talents of guitarist Joachim Pimento, fuzz
guitarist/keyboardist Zoe Zettner, fuzz guitarist/vocalist Lord Sulaco, fuzz
guitarist/percussionist Daiquiri J. Wright, fuzz guitarist Franklin
Silverheels, and bassist Smoky Alvaro (yes, they apparently liked the sound of
a fuzz guitar), the Honolulu Mountain Daffodils gathered occasionally
throughout the late '80s and early '90s to patch together records that threw
almost anything imaginable into a blender (from Kraftwerk to Tom Waits to the
Ramones to Black Sabbath to Neu! and all points between). The ill-rehearsed
results were always uneven, but a fun time was guaranteed each time they
gathered into a studio. The only true ambition of the Daffodils was to have
their records exist in obscurity until developing a cult of fans via a steady
slew of dollar bin discoveries. In fact, as legend has it, the artwork for the
1987 album Guitars of the Oceanic Overgrowth was designed to look as if it had
spent at least two decades gathering dust in a record shop's sunshine-prone
window display. Guitars’ was their first album and was followed the next year
by Tequila Dementia, and then the trilogy was completed three years later by
Aloha Sayonara (the Psychic Hit-List Victim EP was released in 1991).
Apparently the band split up soon thereafter; lord (or Lord Sulaco) knows why.
