Five people locked inside a very tiny practice space...
Including these honorary Train Wrecks: Tucker Jackson, Joel Meredith, Ivy Ross, Jeff Porter, Jeff Koch, Chris Fotonakis
"The Beautiful Train Wrecks’ leader, lanky Kansan transplant Lucas Alberg, resembles an elongated Elvis Costello, and delivers his lyrics in a strong, slightly nasal voice retaining a bit of Midwest twang. Guitarist Travis Magrane sprinkles peals of honky-tonk into the mix with a bit of Byrds-y glow, while bassist Rick Hedges sings solid harmonies and adds a pop bounce to Paul DeMichele’s shuffling drums. The band packs a bag full of clever tunes, currently being mixed for a debut release later this year." - Willamette Week (May 2009)

"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
