The history of the No-No Boys began at the University of Northern Colorado, in Greeley, Colorado. Band members Kristy, Derrick and Julia (originally from Hawaii) had played music together in the annual luau band at UNC in 1996. Realizing that their tastes and love for music were similar, Kristy and Julia began writing music together in late 1999. A name was decided upon and The No-No Boys were born.
In the summer of 2000, TNNB were offered the chance to make a CD with a new record label, Island Fire Productions, in Hawaii. Excited, the band relocated to Honolulu in September to take advantage of this opportunity. In November of 2001, TNNB's efforts were finally available publicly with the release of "Unexpected Turbulence"; the first professional recording made by the band.
The band's second album, "hipNOtherapy", was released in June 2005. Warmly received by college radio station KTUH, various tracks can be heard during weekly programing. After a brief hiatus, TNNB once again find themselves back in action after adding Rob to the drummer position in early March 2008.
The future looks bright for The No-No Boys as they continue to showcase their sound around the island while working on a new album!
