Music
8~o WHITE GHOST SHIVERS have been peeling faces off of the unexpecting for 5 years now. We revel in string band music from the teen's to the 30's. We meld early jazz, hokum, vaudeville, gypsy, ragtime, western swing, and hillbilly~ while at the same time unleashing the dark gutterous underbelly of a pseudo-rock world gone wrong...yee ha !!

"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
