The Don Kings - Delinquent Mayhem
Motorsickle surfin trash monsters from three quadrants of Aoteroa's worst surf bands met in A&E that night after a midnight high tide drag race on piha beach – that ended in said sickle surfers sandsaddled, seascorched and son-of-a-bitched. It was said that during that intoxicated aftermath the addition of the smoking engines, seawater and sedatives took hold of em all and bonded the blood brothers in the hallowed 'Stunt Ward' at Aucklands finest, Shortland Street Hospital.
Sometime during that stormy September in 2010, a graveyard shifter spilt a quart over a mulitibox leading to each riders bedraggled bedside and electrocuted the hell outta all three. It was exactly 1:13am. Wardens working on the lower floor described the sounds of hell itself unleashed. Guards along the hall told of the distinct manifestation of vaporised delinquents winding its way down through cracks in the ceiling. From that night on they never looked back.
