Taste Of Bounty

Wellington, New Zealand band active in the early to mid 1980s. The band consisted of the Fuimaono siblings: lead guitarist Roy Fuimaono, bassist Elliot Fuimaono, drummer Tai Fuimaono, vocalist Mahia Fuimaono and their cousin Kevin Hotu (A.K.A. Kevin Hodges) on guitar. The band won Radio Windy’s Battle of the Sounds then released the single ‘Sunshine Lover’ in November 1981. This was followed by an appearance at Sweetwaters. They were mentored by Dalvanius, who produced their Party Time EP, released on Maui Records in 1983. Taste of Bounty were regulars at the Electric Ballroom (formerly The Club) in Victoria St, Wellington and –after the death of Roy – slimmed their name to Bounty and then New Shuz before disbanding.
