Sounds Like
it all sounds like something has gone wrong in a beautiful way.
for the past 15 years i've been writing music for theater, film and dance. w/the recent cutbacks in the arts in michigan this has become even more difficult so it should come as no surprise that most of my energies these days is aimed at protesting the many impeachable offenses of the current resident's administration. i have enlisted the following friends for a tour of protest duty...joel peterson, doug gourlay, terri sarris, doug shimmin and marko novachcoff. i have played w/them all in previous bands including but not limited to little bang theory, only a mother, immigrant suns, scavenger quartet, etc. for more info on the music (buy my cds) visit www.frankpahl.net. enjoy.....
I'm consolidating all my wonderful friends around the world into one list. So I have just created a new friends contact list. If you would like to be kept up to date on what I've got going on in my musical world, Just click the following link to join up. http://www.reverbnation.com/davidgerald?add_email=true See you on the internet... and at a show soon too I hope! Peace.
"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
avec / with : Carbonic, Ray Rumours, John Trap (solo), Gregaldur, Kate Fletcher, Christophe Petchanatz / Klimperei, OoTiskulf, G.W. Sok, GaBLé, Alice, Bacanal Intruder… and a lot of toys…..
