At the heart of any Zydeco-A-Go-Go song is the classic zydeco sound of accordion and frattoir (rubboard) augmented by saxophone, electric guitar, electric bass and drums.
Their performances feature lyrics sung in English, Spanish, Cajun and Creole French,
set to a beat that keeps people dancing all night long.
Although based in Philadelphia PA, the group has garnered praise for its authentic Louisiana sound. When playing a gig at the legendary Rock & Bowl in New Orleans, they kept the crowded dance-floor busy, with lots of smiling faces everywhere. KBON, a popular radio station in Eunice, Louisiana (the heart of Cajun country) put the group's debut CD into its daily rotation. Music from that cd was used in the soundtrack for ABC News “Earth Day 2000” that was broadcast worldwide during a segment documenting the effect of global warming in Louisiana. The newest CD "Let The Good Times Roll" is receiving rave reviews and radio-play on progressive radio stations across the USA and in Europe, as well as in Louisiana and in New Orleans.

And whether they're playing a large festival or a smalltown fair, a performing arts center or a neighborhood block party, a bowling alley or a swanky fundraiser gala, a back-yard BBQ or one of those non-stop everybody's-up-and-dancing wedding receptions: you know it's gonna be a wild and swingin' pitch-a-wang-dang-doodle-all-night-long bayou boogaloo!
I'll be at Jazz Fest for 2 weeks in 2010 woo hoo! I know I'll see you there. The family done all moved out to Biloxi though.... -Bunton Billie Tammany Social Club Moneywasters
"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
Funny, here, on our side of the world, I think we would say : Laisse le bon temps rouler...( temps is always written with a s ) That was my present to you - a free lesson in French...Says the one who could use some lessons in English...Enjoy the start of the summer !MC
Merci beaucoup for having me as a friend. I will be on your side of the waters in July ( that is if Air France is not on strike !! ), so I will have the pleasure to see you in N Wildwood.
