Photos from Tiki Jamboree

We got back from Uddevalla at 5am this morning after a fun night at Tiki Jamboree at Harry's. Life on the road with the HepCat Store ain't for the fainthearted.

20 Belows - For Better Days

Check out the latest record from the 20Belows - For Better Days. Poppunk with a tear and a broken heart. As if Mike Ness was singing for Chixdiggit. Nah, that's horrible! But this record rocks and makes you wanna go back to that summer when the world was still a nice place.

The 20Belows are a melodic punk rock band from Copenhagen.
They are touring Europe in September and October, check out the details on myspace.

The cars you will see on this 2 DVD set are built to be driven. A few will have shiny paint & others will be rusted, but all were built with pride and with American steel.

Go with Moon!

We've got a brand new coffee-table book for all you hot rodders and kustom lovers. Go with Moon! 1950-2010 tells the story of Mooneyes.


Dean Moon, instead of creating an empire, set the path for many hot rodders to get their share of fame, while his products, his cars and his cleverly used ‘Eyeballs Logo’ became legends. This fantastic industrial and human adventure is strongly rooted in the Post-WWII era, but it managed to survive the decades and the passing of its originator in ’87 : a young Mooneyes Japanese distributor, Shige Suganuma, bought the whole Moon legacy, carefully preserved it and expanded the business and hot rod philosophy… to the world.


About the author: Laurent Bagnard is a photographer and journalist. He is the founder of Powerglide magazine in France and the author of a reknown collection of books, Cheatersville, Electroline Diaries, Rebel Motorcycle Ltd. His work on US subculture gained him an international recognition and he now works for various magazines worldwide, from Gasoline mag in Sweden to Rod & Custom in America. Go With Moon is his fourth book.

A-bombers 2010 - It was raining

We're back home and we've recovered from A-bombers. Well... we're dry and clean at least. This must have been the rainiest weekend we ever spent at Backamo lägerplats.
We felt very lucky to have our booth indoors and our van parked right outside!

We were a little tired after packing boxes, packing the van, driving to Backamo, unpacking, sorting, selling, chatting to friends and looking at cars. There's just so much going on during this weekend! I don't think any of the HepCat crew saw any of the bands, we were just too busy selling and talking to people. Good thing we brought our own entertainment in the form of J.Tex.

J.Tex live, Friday night.

Patric the barber premiered his new Kustom Kutting pomade, created by Mr Levin. We sold out really fast, but there will be more in stock as soon.
Other popular items were snoods, Sailor Jerry tees and Pike Brothers mechanic bib jeans.

Rob and Tony working the booth.
All three of us wore plaid woolen shirts. And no, we didn't plan that.

We meet a lot of cool people at A-bombers but the award for most suitable ride must go to Jimmy from Nordic Flake. Just look a that little pink Skoda with flakes. That baby sparkles in the sunshine, let me tell ya!

Let's just hope we get a lot more sun at next years A-bombers.

The boys from Nordic Flake drive in style.
