"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
Streetbeat is here. Warehouse Republic mix modern street beats and put it together with rock and roll. Juan grew up in the streets of Miami, Guilherme in Porto Alegre in Brazil, Jason in the 'burbs of London and Charlie in the earth of Lincoln and the 'burbs of LDN. There is a warmth from the streets they all feel. They are like a New York gang of friends. Hanging out drinking in the sunshine. Here to bring rock and roll back and mix it with new beats and sounds. Its Warehouse Republic. Taking youth culture back for the rebels.
The Rose and Ben Band would like to thank you so very much for your friendship and support. And appreciate you accepting our invitation, VOICE IT IN MUSIC.
So happy to catch your act at the Uke Fest and bask in the glory of yourselves and your gorgeous scenery. It looked so good, I almost started chewing on it, but luckily I'd been sated by that yummy Hawaiian coconut pudding.
Hope to see you again...
peace & amity,
Meghan of DAGMAR and, when in ukeland, "Amity Rose"
This material sounds like the music they play on the folk shows at our station, but 100% BETTER. Whenever you get a release for this stuff, send me one and I'll try to get it put into the folk rotation.
It sure was a blast joining you at the Slipper Room. Thanks for having me. Vaudeville nights are swell! However, the after party I stumbled into was bit much . . .
