He's an old friend of mine (played in a number of bands together) and he can really blow! If you're into heavy hitting 1950's R&B I suggest you take a listen to his band (who was also playing Viva Las Vegas 15) The Royal Rhythmaires! http://www.trrmusic.com/

Is the steel player in the posted pix above and in the pool pary video, Kevin Bullat? Look's like a different player, who is he? Is Kevin still a member? I notice Kevin's name is spelled Bullet on the MySpace page, and he's listed as a pedal steeler, yet I've never known him to use anything but a steel guitar. Quibbles and questions aside, you guys sound pretty good!

It's a bastardized go-go version of hula. Some people don't 'get it'. And we're fine with that. The MySpace page is un-editable for some reason. That was an error. Kevin doesn't/ didn't play pedal steel guitar. He is no longer working with The Hula Girls. The guy on steel with us in the Vegas pictures is the very talented Hank Mann.
