Rock, hula, fezzes -- it must be the Bikini Beach Band
Comments |
The St James’ Club in Broad Street,
Ramsgate is set to hot up this Saturday (March 20) when four
fez-wearing half-brothers take to the stage to deliver a blistering
set of instrumentals as only the Bikini Beach Band can.
When you strip away the flamboyant
stage outfits, lovely Hula Honeys and ice cool stage personae,
you’re left with the sound of belting, high-energy live
performances of outstanding musicianship.
Guitarists Esteban and Miguel
Escovedo pay homage to the 'Holy Trinity of Twang': Hank Marvin,
Dick Dale and Duane Eddy. Bass player Ricardo keeps the band firmly
anchored, while drummer Juan’s cymbal work shimmers like the surf
kissing the shores of Bikini Beach at sunset.
The special genius of The Bikini
Beach Band lies in the original material and their unique take on
pop classics. Where else would you find ACDC’s Whole Lotta Rosie
segueing into Red River Rock and the crowd-pleasing Hawaiian
treatment of Outkast’s Hey Ya?
The band can be caught live on CD
when their latest album Viva! On Stage in London is released on Mad
Village Recordings on April 19.
The show starts at 7.30pm,
entry is £10. Call 07511 018764 for more information.
