Sounds Like
Make no mistake: we are a jug band, without the jug. At our first show someone said we sounded like R. Crumb and The Cheap Suit Serenaders...our drummer thinks we sound like "3 boys from east texas" - either will do.
The DCR mission is simple: To play songs and covers that we like, in the manner of our choosing. The rural sound is a testament to who we are...the looseness of the preformance comes from an advanced level of conscience known simply as the "back porch mentality." We here at DCR Hq promise good times and snotty remarks - just as nature intended
"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
