Yep, they headlined Hukilau last year and are coming back this year. They are awesome, and I don't say that because I feel obligated. They are great musicians, AND they are a lot of fun. It's no wonder they play before 10,000 at their annual Hawaiian night at the Senegalia event. They really greatly suprised me at Hukilau. You MUST go see them. If you are in a position to promote them, I will see if they can send you anything to help.

Go to the Hukilau site for more pictures and info. They will be in Munich on February 24th for a Hawaiian party for the last day of Carnivale. Also, Next August they'll be in Berlin. They'll play at the Brandenburger rockabilly meeting.
You can find some information at this website http://www.preussenrebs.de

No kidding, these guys are great. If you are a rockabilly fan, you'll love them. If you are a hapa haole fan, you'll be in heaven.

Great! Highly recommended! A++! Oh wait, that sounds like ebay feedback. Ha!

All kidding aside, Hukilau 2003 was the first I had ever heard of them, and found them to be really great! They really know how to perform! (the ebay-esque feedback is actually an understatement.)

Hi Swanky,
Got the CD through yesterday and it's fantastic.
Can't wait to see them at the Rhythm Riot (www.rhythmriot.com), I'm sure they'll go down a storm.
