The Hollow Grinders are a surf band. That just about sums it up.
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 have two CDs, [[The Hollow Grinders Dig Chicks]] and [[Surfin' Taniwha]], one 7" record, [[Bradley's Dunny Crouch]], and several other releases. In 1999, Californian surf band ''The Neptunas'' released a song dedicated to ''The Hollow Grinders'' called [[Thee Phantom 5ive|Hollow Grinders are Go!]]. Significant gigs played by the band include [[Circle Jerk 2018]].
