So, DP, I know you really dig the BH's.
If there is a Monday Holiday, do you think that you'll come down for one of those.
actually I wish you'd come see some of the lesser known bands.
shows at the pier or surf museum.
Plus, that Bordello joint looks like a real swanky place.
I'm sure you'd have to spiff yourself up real nice.

So I went and checked out the Blue Hawaiians last night.
man these guys are the Kings of Smooth.
They have not been playing alot lately so they were trying to remember some of the songs, plus their drummer Max was not there last night.
But they sounded great, it was like a having a nice cool drink of water after walking thru the desert all day. so refreshing. and nice to hear them again.
the venue Bordello is a very swanky place, but dress code is not an issue, you can dress up or go in shorts and t shirt.
lots of room, and a bar and a kitchen.
Hope to see some of you there, I know its hard to get out on a sunday night,
they play from 9 pm to midnight with a break in the middle.

Well,
I was only able to stay for one set last night, because I have to work today to get the 4th off, but man o man, were they ON!!
Last week they had a fill in drummer, as Max was outta town.
But he was back this week.
they were in fine form, doing a very improvy "Caravan" that they have never done live before, and
a super drippy "Our Favorite Martian"
a few of their smooth vocal numbers and some of their great instros.
But the high light was a 12 minute version of Latinia that went from very mellow to out of this world heavy, and back again.
I highly recommend to anyone that is close or coming into town on vacation, to go see the Blue Hawaiians on a Sun. nite.

I went to the Bordello last night , and the Blue Hawaiians said it was their last night there.
I guess there wasn't enough people coming out to see them.
I saw Bill and Joyce of the Glasgow Tiki Shakers,.
and about 6 peeps from the tiki crowd.
Sad to see it go.

I'm sorry to see it go...BUT:
Every week? on a Sunday night? That's a frequency that's too high on a weak night to begin with.
I don't think bands with original material and an interested crowd (not bands that play cover songs for a dancing crowd, that's a different story) should play more ferquenty than once every 2 months or so.

They played about 2/3rd covers.
there would sometimes be people that danced, but not every song.
and I am sure they didn't expect the same people to come every week.
