'A combination of The Slits, Abba and Curtis Mayfield with kazoos'
'For me the best act in the evening came in the form of Molly and Me. Simple but special their bizarrely beautiful sound is all surreal lyrics sung in insistent harmonies with ukulele and xylophone backing'..... NARC (Ukelear Meltdown Festival 2009)
There are moments of comedy, but it’s a decidedly dark brand of humour…A huge step forward for a brilliantly inventive force…” The Metro
"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
Please check out our new comedic “vampire bankers” music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna’s first music vid. We think it’s pretty funny. It’s available as a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com
