"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
I made it to your launch last night but I'm flu central at the moment so I didn't hang around, just grabbed the hip tonic and went on my way. Currently in my second helping and I'm feeling better already ;-)
We'll be there! We're playing at The Hippo on Wednesday February the 18th. I think it's a tenner on the door, and from memory the cocktails are incredible.
Also, if it's still open, you'll find us with a Hotdog in one hand and beer in the other in an antique tram at the dixon tradies.
