"17th Chapter take the stage and dish out an almost unclassifiable blend of dance-rock meets alt-country. Whichever direction a song happens to be taking, from blustery rock to blissful folk, the band is perfectly blended and will not lead you astray." - Kevin leDoux, SeattleSubsonic.com (preview of Fremont Fair show)
"17th Chapter is an interesting band in that it manages to meld two fairly standard musical aesthetics to create something of its own sound...a talent for constructing churning dance-rock beats... languid, almost-folksy aesthetic that is as breezy as the band’s rock side is blistering. "
- Mark Baumgarten, Seattle Sound Magazine (Apr 07, 2008)

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
FYI: The 5th annual October 2nd thru the 4th of this year in Chicago. Hope you can make it. More info will be posted soon. Join us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/globalmixx
Hey 17th CHAPTER, hope you're having a great day! Say, do you believe in God? If so, do you think it comes with a tangible science we can hope to understand one day, or should it remain a mystical concept?
