Hula was founded in november 1980. Hula continue to bring out danceable 12 inches and more experimental albums, one of these singles being "Freeze Out". This EP features a special radio edit recorded specially for the John Peel show.
Ingredients like cut ups, steady rhythms, and paranoia vocals were blended together into a unique white funky sound.
The Sheffield based band Hula was founded in november 1980. Three members (Mark Albrow, Alan Fisch and Ron Wright) lived with Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire) and Paul Widger (They must be Russians, Clock DVA, the Box) in a villa called Hula Kula.
After trying the bass players Alan Watt, the notorious Chris Brain (Tense, NOS) and Mark Brydon (Chakk, Moloko), and after the replacement of Alan Fish (a.k.a. Fisch) by Nort (both drummed for the Cabs), Hula released Fever Car, which became an indie hit. Then they recorded the impressive album Murmur. Ingredients like cut ups, steady rhythms, and paranoia vocals were blended together into a unique white funky sound.
Hula recruited John Avery as a bass player. A bass player was necessary for the exciting live shows with lots of video material (Peter Care). Hula continued to bring out danceable 12 inches and more experimental albums, one of these being "Freeze Out".
