WE ARE THE HAMBURG RAMÖNES (HAM RAM TO OUR FRIENDS) AND WE HAVE COME TO KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE!
WATCH OUT FOR OUR NEW ALBUM "LONG BLACK HAIR" RELEASED BY TORNADO RIDE RECORDS, ITALY, ON VINYL AND NICOTINE RECORDS IN CD FORMAT. IT'S THE BEST RAMONES ALBUM IN 30 YEARS!!
HISTORY, CHAPTER ONE - 2001 TO 2006 - THE WIG YEARS
IN 2001 TOMMY AND ECKI RAMÖNE FOUNDED HAMBURG RAMÖNES ON ACCOUNT OF A WEDDING PARTY. THE ORIGINAL LINEUP CONSISTED OF TOMMY ON VOCALS, ECKI ON GUITAR AS WELL AS AXEL 'WINNETOU' RAMÖNE ON BASS AND HANSI RAMÖNE ON DRUMS. THE BAND PLAYED RAMONES COVERS ONLY IN THE BEGINNING - AS THEY ALL DO - BUT TOMMY AND ECKI SOON REALISED THAT IT IS MUCH MORE FUN TO INCLUDE SELF PENNED NEW RAMONES-LIKE SONGS INTO THE Z-LIST. UP UNTIL 2006 HAM RAM PLAYED SEVERALL CONCERTS IN GERMANY AND EUROPE AND THEY RELEASED A MUCH ACCLAIMED DEBUT ALBUM CALLED "FREE PHIL SPECTOR" IN FALL 2005.
"FREE PHIL SPECTOR" IS DEDICATED TO THE WEIRED GENIUS OF PHIL SPECTOR, WHO INVENTED THE WALL OF SOUND AND OVER-PRODUCED THE RAMONES' "END OF THE CENTURY" ALBUM IN 1979. DUE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ALBUM AND THE PRESSURE FROM HAMBURG RAMÖNES FANS AROUND THE GLOBE, PHIL SPECTOR WALKED OUT FREE FROM A MURDER TRIAL IN WHICH HE WAS ACCUSED TO HAVE SHOT A B-MOVIE ACTRESS. "FREE PHIL SPECTOR" CONTAINES SELF WRITTEN HAM RAM MATERIAL IN THE VAST MAJORITY, INTER ALIA 4 SONGS INDIVIDUALLY DEDICTED TO JOEY, JOHNNY, DEE DEE AND MARKY RAMONE.
"FREE PHIL SPECTOR" RECEIVED A ***** RATING ON AMAZON.DE AND IS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED IN RAMONES CIRCLES WÖRLDWIDE. THE CD COMES IN A FONDLY DESIGNED DIGI-PACK AND INCLUDES A 16 PAGE FOUR COLOUR BOOKLET FULL OF RAMONES MEMORABILIA. THE FOREWORD IS WRITTEN BY NO OTHER THAN RAMONES BIOGRAPHER LEGEND JARI-PEKKA LAITIO-RAMONE. THE CD IS AVAILABLE IN OUR SHOP. TRY IT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
"FREE PHIL SPECTOR" WAS SOFAR ORDERED FROM THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES:
ARGENTINA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRIA, BRASIL, BELGIUM, CANADA, CYPRUS, CZECH REPUBLIK, DANMARK, ENGLAND, FINLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, GREECE, ITALY, JAPAN, KROATIA, KOREA, MEXICO, NETHERLANDS, NORTHERN IRELAND, NORWAY, POLAND, PORTUGAL, RUSSIA, SLOVENIA, SPAIN, SWEDEN, SWITZERLAND AND THE USA
IN 2006 HAM RAM RETURNED INTO THE STUDIO TO RECORDED 3 GREAT NEW TRACKS FOR AN INTENDED "BIRTHDAY BASH EP". THE PLAN WAS TO RELEASE THESE SONGS IN CONNECTION WITH JOEY RAMONES 2006 BIRTHDAY PARTY AND TO PLAY LIVE IN CBGB. SADLY, 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE EVENT ALL HAM RAM BAND MEMBERS ENTERED INTO DISPUTES ABOUT THEIR RESPECTIVE HAIR DOES AND THESE GREAT SONGS NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY.
HISTORY CHAPTER TWO - 2007 AND ON - BACK TO NATURE
IN 2007 AXEL AND HANSI RAMÖNE LEFT AND TOMMY AND ECKI DECIDED TO TAKE A STEP FORWARD. THEY TEAMED UP WITH JENZZI RAMÖNE (AKA JENS GALLMEYER, FORMER MEMBER OF GERMAN UNDERGROUND LEGENDS PHOSPHOR AND DER MODERNE MAN AND PRESENT MEMBER OF GIGANTOR AND THE CREETINS) ON BASS/GUITAR. TOGETHER WITH JENZZZI, TOMMY AND ECKI IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO WRITE NEW MATERIAL FOR THEIR SECOND ALBUM. THEY SOON RECRUITED MARKY RAMÖNE (AKA MARKY HONK, FORMERLY HITTING HARD FOR ROTZKOTZ AND THE HONKS) ON DRUMS. IN MAY 2007 THE NOW COMPLETED NEW LINEUP STARTED TO RECORD 13 NEW SONGS FOR THE NEW ALBUM "LONG BLACK HAIR" WITH JENS GALLMEYER AS PRODUCER.
THE NEW POWERFULL LINEUP EASILY DELIVERS THE GOODS: SHORT, FAST AND MELODIC SONGS WITH GREAT HOOK LINES THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE FOUR LEGENDS FROM NYC ALIVE! "LONG BLACK HAIR" KICKS ASS AS MUCH AS ANYTHING THE RAMONES EVER DID AND STANDOUT TRACKS WILL INCLUDE THE SMASH HITS "ROCK'N'ROLLER COASTER", LONG BLACK HAIR", "SURFPUNK'S BACK IN TOWN" AS WELL AS HAM RAM'S FASTEST SONG TO DATE, "BÖMBER IN YOUR HEART", DEDICATED TO LEMMY.
IN EUROPE "LONG BLACK HAIR" IS RELEASED BY NICOTINE RECORDS AND TORNADO RIDE RECORDS, BOTH FROM ITALY. AN EXTRA FUZZY VERSION OF THE SONG "LONG BLACK HAIR" WILL APPEAR ON THE FUZZTONES TRIBUTE SAMPLER "SPAWN 2" TO BE RELEASED ON RUDI PROTRUDI'S SIN RECORDS LABEL SHORTLY.
STAY TUNED!!
WE ALSO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU LIVE VERY SOON. THE NEW LINE UP HAS JUST BEEN TESTED IN TWO SHOWS IN HAMBURG AND LONDON AND WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT THE NEW FORMULAR WORKS EXTREMELY WELL. MORE DETAILS OF THE UPCOMING"LONG BLACK HAIR WÖRLD TOUR 2009" WILL BE PUBLISHED ONCE AVAILABLE.
