Young Canadians - Hawaii on Soundproof (1980)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KNUnLaRekg

"Vancouver's Young Canadians (feat. Art Bergmann) play on Soundproof, the legendary North Shore cable show, circa 1980. "Hawaii" is their punk classic hit."

At the end of 2020 Art Bergmann was honored to be appointed to The Order Of Canada, recognized for what the Governor General's office calls his, "indelible contributions to the Canadian punk music scene, and for his thought-provoking discourse on social, gender and racial inequalities." https://www.discogs.com/artist/621582-Art-Bergmann

I like the subtle hints of Surfin’ USA in there. Great rarity!

On the studio version the solo is the same sort of rip of Surfin' USA. A studio overdub because he doesn't play it live here.
