Waikiki was a rock group originating from Sydney, consisting of siblings Juanita Stein (bass and vocals) and Joel Stein (guitar and vocals), with Glenn Moule on drums and Jimmy Brandon on guitar. In early 2003, Brendan Picchio took over bass duties from Brandon, which enabled Juanita Stein to move to rhythm guitar. Joel Stein referred to Picchio as "the missing piece to the puzzle," emphasizing his crucial contribution to the ensemble.

The band dissolved in early 2004, after which they moved to London and adopted the new name Howling Bells.

Waikiki's discography includes a single album titled I'm Already Home released in 2002 through Liberation Music. Their track "Here Comes September" attained position 36 in the 2002 Triple J Hottest 100. Additionally, they launched three more singles and an EP featuring five tracks.
