Hey friends! We just got official word that The Hula Girls will be opening for the world famous surf instrumentalists, Los Straitjackets, and Anaheim rockabilly legends, Big Sandy and the Fly Rite Boys. My buddies, The Graceland Mafia, are on the bill too!

We're really excited to be playing this show, but a condition of us being on the bill is that we help sell tickets. If you'd like to see this show, please buy the tickets from me. Every ticket that we sell, helps us show that we can bring people to The Galaxy. In turn, it could help us with future shows there or at The Coach House.

The date is April 9th. Tickets are $13 presale and $15 at the door. If you buy tickets from me, they are only 10 bucks.
Email me at mmarble949@yahoo.com and I'll send you a link to pay through Paypal. The tickets will be mailed out either the same day, or the following day.

This is gonna be an amazing show. Don't miss it! And don't wait to get your tickets!

Some really cool video clips to get you going.....

The Galaxy is a GREAT venue - seen many shows there.

Sounds like it will be a good show and so close to home too.

Can't pass up a chance to see Los Straitjackets. Because of work, though, Friday night will make it a challenge for us to get from Burbank to Anaheim but if we can, I'll order up some tickets from you.

Luckydesigns posted on 02/19/2010

Great! By the way, the venue is actually in Santa Ana... It's a really great, big theater. Cool place to see a show. I can't even count the number of times I've been in that room. Good times!

By the way, I will have tickets available at Don the Beachcomer next Monday night. I'm also working on a poster for the show. They'll be hand screened in my garage, once I finalize the design.

If you were not aware, Lucky Designs is one of the main graphic artists for one of the biggest surfwear companies in the world. His art is HIGHLY collectible. Any flyer he makes is probably something you will want to own!

Thanks, Jeff........aaaand I'm gonna call them AND The Ventures 'surf', and you'll just have to accept it. I know they call themselves 'instrumentalists' and you're a stickler for it but....there it is.

Hey, by the way, would you mind explaining the difference between 'instrumental' bands and 'surf' bands? The Ventures did a ton of 'surf' music and so do Los Straitjackets.... What are the stipulations that define the different genres? I'm sincerely interested....

It's crazy! he's totally going Jackson Pollack style, working off the floor! The posters he did for the upcoming Swingin' Tiki's/Los Mysteriosos/Hula Girls show at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa are fantastic, and I have seen the various stages of when he was making them...it's very labor intensive, with multiple colors of Auto paint, hand-cut stencils, the works......!!!

Was at Don's tonight to have a mai tai and sell tickets. They are going FAST. If you're interested in going to the show, PM me and I'll figure out a way to get you the tickets. Only ten bucks from me. Way better than paying the door price of fifteen bucks...

By the way, if I didn't already mention it, The Blue Hawaiian and more recently Tikiyaki Orchestra steel guitar genius, Gary Brandin, will be playing this show with us. We're super excited about having him join us!

Also, a reminder that tickets are still available. I'm running out, and will probably have to go to the Galaxy to have more printed, but I do have some now and they WILL be for sale from me at Don's tomorrow evening.

After cutting some corners in the production of these, I re-figued my costs and I'm bringing the poster price down to twenty bucks. The purple guy is an edition of 40 and the red one is only an edition of 10.

The completed poster will up on here some time tomorrow.

By the way, sorry for the glare and the blur. They're super crisp in person. See it to believe it! At the show. Email me for $10 tickets.

can you pm him, and maybe send him a ticket,
that way you get the profit, not the venue.
