Anyone here fans of the Blue Hawaiians ? "Sway" is in my opinion, one of the best surf records ever. I used to see them at the Lava Lounge in Hollywood when they were doing Sunday nights. It was always really crowded and uncomfortable, but they always rocked. |

I agree, "Sway" by the Blue Hawaiians is one great album. I pulled it out of my CD pile last week & gave it another listen. I had forgotten how great this CD is. |

I've also been a fan of The Blue Hawaiians--I have both "Sway" and "Savage Nights." I especially have always dug the "Swingin' Hula Girl" tune. I certainly hope that they're still together and will have some new stuff come out for us to enjoy~~CD |

If you like the Blue Hawaiians, then check out the B.H's Gary Brandin and his son Geoff's project The Vanduras. It smokes! |

I've always cherished their christmas Cd "Christmas on Big Island". God Love Bing, Frank, and Dean-o but the Blue Hawaiians make me want to hang starfish and shells on my christmas tree whenever the yuletide season rolls around. |

The Blue Hawaiians played my wedding. I too would like to know where they're currently playing. I once saw them play the W Hollywood House of Blues with some of the members of Tower of Power providing horns. They blew the roof off that place. They opened for the Ventures, IIRC. |

I heard they broke up for the most part, but still play every once in awhile at the Lava Lounge. I saw them play there about 3 weeks ago and it was a great time. Short set, but a good one. Bong is right about the Vanduras. They're really good. A different sound than the Blue Hawaiians, but still very kick back, lounge type stuff. Lots of steel guitar, which is what I dug so much about the Blue Hawaiians. |

Mark Sproull of the Blue Hawaiians is a friend of mine. We both played in bands for many years in Laguna Beach, CA. He used to come in and watch our band on nights when he wasn't gigging somewhere. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I found out he was the guitarist for the Blue Hawaiians. Mark is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Another friend and local musician who occasionally plays with BH is guitarist Phil Gough. Anything Phil is involved in is awesome. Check hard to find CDs of The Gnarly Bras or The Rebel Rockers to hear an example of sheer versatility. |

Another Blue Hawaiians fan here! Superb stuff, from the tune selection to the arrangements to the tones and performances. A major source of inspiration for my band without a doubt. |

Their version of the Charlie Brown Christmas tune is SO great--El Vez does a DEAD ON version of that even with the Rod McKuen 'rap' on it (don't EVER call what Rod McKuen did 'singing'!) and YES I do have a CD player now! |

Maybe the seller is on crack. That's a $2.99 CD at Amoeba. Still, my favorite surf record of all time. |

Maybe they were given an ultimatum like “List that CD on eBay or I'll put a curse on you! It doesn’t have to sell just list it.” It could happen. :) |
