Elijah rocks the Banjo in the new Brooks and Dunn Video "Hillbilly Deluxe."...
Sunshine Brothers of Hollywood, a stripped-down duo that found its sound and its attitude on the streets of Los Angeles, features two seasoned players who rock the house with just a banjo and guitar.
Fuelled by caffeine and a raging love for their idols – Iggy, the Ramones, the Clash, the Dead, Pete Seeger and the solitary Mexican mariachi – the Sunshine Brothers have distilled their combined experiences in punk, rock and country bands into a unique 21st century hybrid – eco-friendly, but with ample power, acceleration and speed.
"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
