Hamburg Ramönes homepage is here.

German band Hamburg Ramönes do focus on their opinion of Phil Spector: Free Phil Spector! Free Phil Spector is also name of their CD. They also focus to keep real spirit alive, and you know what that means. It's released through Riff Randell Records.

Hamburg Ramönes has recorded 9 songs, 2 of them are Ramones covers (Judy Is A Punk and Pet Sematary) and 7 of them are mostly Ramones tribute kind of songs with terrific lyrics. Especially if you've been a long time Ramones fan you'll praise the lyrics after finding many stories relating to them. They're singing and playing for you for example message from Joey, song about Dee Dee Ramone and another ones of Johnny Ramone, Marky Ramone and PJ Soles. Official release date of CD was on September 23, 2005.

Digipack release is including 12 page booklet and I noticed easily that booklet is designed by professional person. It contains lyrics, lot photos and Ramoniac details. There's also in their net-store nice looking T-shirts etc.
I got an honour to write foretext to the CD.

Hamburg Ramönes is not just Ramones tribute music. You can easily notice their wide influences since the days of the 60's. The attitude and spirit lives on with this music. Their guitarist Ecki saw The Ramones for the first time in 1978. He and every band member of Hamburg Ramönes were influenced for the rest of their lives in big ways. I had the honor of meeting Ecki and Thomas for the first time in 2004 in NYC, we were there because of Joey (Joey's Birthday Memory Party).

Radio elDOradio will sent a 60 minute feature about Hamburg Ramönes. The show, which will feature Tommy and Ecki Ramöne live in the studio, will be distributed wörldwide on the internet. Details to follow shortly.
