Yokwe. Kia oro. Hul-lo. Hello. Muinpuru. Xìnghùi. Aloha.
What you are hearing now is our interpretation of the famous song Nature Boy and this is what we do.
We try to find music that we can do as a development between Cuban and Exotic music, a musical form that goes back to the late 20's and till today, truly in the twilight of Afro-Cuban and Exotica.
For us the music is a really great way of sweeping away the unexpected dinner party/ cocktail drinking/ blind date/ married couple/ audience by our musical surge. We like to think that everyone needs to get away from the pressure in everyday life and just appear in a musical fantasy were the sun and the surf is always with you.
The backbone of this group consists of two persons, Bo Axelzon and Adam Axelzon. We are both percussionists and have been playing music for some time. Between us we have played music from hambo to fusion.
The pictures presented on this site are from different time periods and different settings, mostly rehearsal pictures but still it is us.
We like to think that we are the only band in Scandinavia who plays this kind of music.

"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
