Five years after their 2004 formation, Honolulu’s Hell Caminos took a hiatus from their “rigorous touring” for even more touring, with upright bassist Michael Camino focusing on his alternate project, The A.K.A.s and guitarist Nick Danger working with Left Alone (both bands earned Warped Tour billing last year). But psychobilly fans have good cause for celebration, because Camino and Danger have rejoined standing, skins-slamming Handsome Jack, and are returning for a show on the Valley Isle. If your itch like a new tattoo for the Hell Caminos can’t wait ’til Saturday, hop online to preview—and order, of course—their 2009 album Lust and 2005 debut Through The Day And Through The Night. The title track of the former is frothing like the head of a properly poured Guinness, and the sounds of “Old Snake Road” plop you shotgun in a topless coupe wrestling a maladroit road you wish only went one way. For Saturday’s show at Stella Blues, the Hell Caminos are joined by The Sausage Act and another local threesome, Order of the White Rose. It’s hard not to love the latter, with guitarist Steve Hart, drummer Nate Robertson and bass/vocalist Noah Robertson (happy belated birthday, BTW), who—notwithstanding their hard-hitting talent—named themselves after the anti-Nazi student group from the University of Munich. Of their songs, they say they “cannot stand idly by and watch the destruction of the Kanaka Maoli in Hawaii.” Now that’s punk. 874-3779, stellablues.com / myspace.com/thehellcaminos / whiterosepunk.com
