Wanna pimp up your life with brand new Ramones Power Tunes? Then this is it!

 

HAMBURG RAMÖNES are 4 guys who have been serving in various Punk and New Wave Bands such as Rotzkotz, John Peel's favourites Der Moderne Man, and Gigantor in the last century. After the original Ramones disbanded, retired and....even died, these Gentlemen took over the responsibility to keep the RAMONES Spirit alive!

 

In 2001 Hamburg Ramönes started as a Cover Band for birthday- and wedding Parties. The original line up consisted of Tommy Ramöne (aka Thomas Aldenrath, ex Bombenleger) on vocals, Ecki Ramöne (aka Eckart Kurtz, founding member of Der Modern Man & Kosmonautentraum) on Guitar as well as Axel "Winnetou" Ramöne (ex Rotzkotz) on Bass plus Hansi Ramöne on drums.

 

When playing cover-songs only got boring, Tommy & Ecki started to work out on their own self penned material as from 2004. The new songs were gradually included into the Z-Lists. In 2005 Ham Ram released their much acclaimed debut Album "FREE PHIL SPECTOR".

 

In 2007 Tommy & Ecki decided to take one step forward and teamed up with Producer Jenzzi Ramöne (aka Jens Gallmeyer, a member of - inter alia - Gigantor and Terry Hoax) who took over the Bass and Marky Ramone (aka Markus Joseph, formerly hitting skins for Rotzkotz and The Honx) joined on the Drums. With this new powerfull lineup, the same as today, they immediately started to work on fresh songs and recorded their international break-through Album "LONG BLACK HAIR", released by Nicotine Records, Milano, on CD and Tornado Ride Records, Italy, on vinyl in Fall 2008.

 

In 2009 Ham Ram toured England in support of "LONG BLACK HAIR" after which Tommy & Ecki felt that it was time for something special: Same as their heroes Ramones and Slade they recorded a Christmas Single, called,...well..., "MERRY CHRISTMAS!". The same was again released by their Italian labels Nicotine and Tornado Ride Records. The vinyl version of the Single in snow white vinyl is worth checking out!

 

Later in the year they toured Bavaria in support of FC St. Pauli palying at Augsburg and they became friends with General Seckler's Ramones Army. During 2010 Ham Ram recorded 15 songs for their Third Album "UNIFORM THING". The Album came out on 19th May, 2011 (Joey Ramone's 60th birthday) on G-Force Records, Germany. "UNIFORM THING" is the biggest HAM RAM offering to date and it is presented in a special Double-CD digipack sleve. The Album contains a special Guest Star contribution by Jason Ringenberg, the founding member of Jason and the Scorchers and inventor of the Cow-Punk genre. It also contains the Hit Single "Fugger City", which was voted as "Official Augsburg Rock Song 2011". The song is included in an Engish and German version, the German version being graced by guest vocals of Gerhard "Sweety" Schönherz, the King of Augsburg.

 

A couple of gigs will be played in support of "UNIFORM THING" during fall 2011, details can be found in the "It's Alive" section.
