"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
I need 2-3 Surf Bands bands for a Hawaiian Luau/Tiki/Surf Beach Party that I'm putting on with Mr. Don Pie (the King Of Reno).
It will be a fun and Rocking summer event!
I would also like a couple of ladies to do a hula dance in grass skirts during the bands performance & DJ spinning Surf & Island Music.
Also if you play steel drums, Ukulele or do Hawaiian music, let me know. I would love a big show with all types of sounds and acts. A fire breather would also be nice!
