The Hasselhoff Experiment
Years Active: 1997 — 2009
Duo The Hasselhoff Experiment (guitarist Andrew Tolley and drummer Brendan Moran) burst onto the scene in 1997 with a sold out self-released vinyl debut. Two more albums of raw, stripped-back garage punk followed.
Overview
Wellington's The Hasselhoff Experiment created "hoff hype" in 1997, when after being together for six months, they released just 200 copies of their self-titled debut album on vinyl. It earned the rockers the award for Best New Act at the 1998 bNet Music Awards, which led to them being signed by Flying Nun. The Hasselhoff Experiment released another two albums then later called it a day — Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned and Out of the Sandpit and Onto the Drive.
