When they started they were known as The K-Tels, but after the giant corporation threatened them with a huge lawsuit, they became known as Young Canadians. Led by the then unknown, but soon to become legendary guitarist/singer Art Bergmann and helped along by the incredibly adept rhythm section of drummer Barry Taylor and bassist Jim Bescott, the Young Canadians soon carved out a stong following up and down the west coast of North America and across Canada, with their unique rock/pop/punk sound. From their first EP, the song "Hawaii" with it's memorable line "Let's go to fuckin' Hawaii" became an underground hit. Hawaii - circa 1980 Young Canadians - Hullabaloo Girls
