The Hollow Grinders (briefly called "the Sandhoppers", and playing their first gig in October 1996 as "the Blublockers") proclaimed themselves "New Zealand's best and only instrumental surf band", a claim few could deny. Hollow Grinders started as a trio of [[Biff Bangle]], [[Andrew Dean|Eddie Hodad]] and [[Dean Ballinger|Dirk Thrust]], differing from ''The Blublockers'' only in a change in drummer. Later, [[Gordon Bassett|Hank 'Family Man' Special]] joined to make the band a four-piece. Line-up changes have continued, with ''Biff Bangle'' allegedly faking his own death to avoid further contractual obligations to the group, seeing the addition of [[Stan Jagger|Otis Uhh!]]. [[Greg Locke|Rick O'Kutt]] has also replaced ''Hank 'Family Man' Special''. | The Hollow Grinders (briefly called "the Sandhoppers", and playing their first gig in October 1996 as "the Blublockers") proclaimed themselves "New Zealand's best and only instrumental surf band", a claim few could deny.
