Influences
Connee Boswell, Annette Hanshaw, Lee Wiley, Dubin & Warren, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Loesser and any cheeky song title we come across in a pile of old sheet music!
We like to play songs from the '20s and '30s mostly, but generally stay away from the standards. Daria likes to mine old recordings and sheet music to find obscure charmers that almost nobody knows like 'The Gentleman Just Wouldn't Say Goodnight', 'Pettin' In The Park' and 'Pardon My Southern Accent.'
We play 2 sets at Rodeo Bar on the 4th Monday of every month, starting at 9pm.

"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
