Wed, August 28 – Over Under Sideways Down returns LIVE on LuxuriaMusic.com

This coming Wednesday, I’ll be returning to the LuxuriaMusicstudios, recovered from Tiki Oasis and Surf Guitar 101, for my first live Over Under Sideways Down in over a month, bringing you Part III of “Music from the Random Stacks of Records in my Living Room.”  The show feature a variety of new acquisitions plus gems pulled from my music library and for whatever reason, not yet filed away, including a mixture of music from loud to lite to ludicrous – from rock to raga to ridiculous. I will also be doing a segment of tracks from recent as well as upcoming, as-of-yet Dionysus Records releases with tracks by Creepxotica, The Satelliters, The Gears, Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers, The Skip Heller Combo, The Dukes of Hamburg, Replikas, Jason Lee and the R.I.P. Tides and more!

This year, Tiki Oasis explores the Hawaiian influence on American music. Part Americana, part Hawaiiana, Hulabilly is an American music style derived from the blending of Rockabilly and Haole Hawaiian music. The live musical entertainment at this year’s four-day Polynesian Pop festival/celebration features numerous roots and rockabilly performers, a couple of Elvis (the King of Hulabilly) salutes as well as the essential exotica / surf / instrumental sounds Tiki Oasis is known for.  DJs will be covering the gamut of these musical styles as well and this year, LuxuriaMusic.com will be featuring their DJs in the indoor marketplace.

Two current and one future Dionysus artists will be playing the event this year. Big Sandy, whose still in-print first album, “Fly Rite With” was released by the label in 1989, will be headlining the event at a special Sunday Hoedown with the legendary El Vez. Surf / Exotica creeps, Creepxotica who have released their “Haunted Bossa Nova” LP on Dionysus this year, will be playing at the Bali Hai Meet and Mingle on Thursday Aug. 15, along with The Fishermen, featuring Brian Lease, former vibe player of  ’90s Dionysus lounge sensations, Frenchy, and Tiki Oasis favorite, Kim Tsoy who will be backed up by a band including Dionysus’ Records Lee Joseph on bass. Jason Lee  and the RIP Tides, whose debut LP will be released on Dionysus, will be playing poolside on Friday. Jason Lee will be teaching a “Twang Guitar” seminar on Saturday at 1:00 PM. Dionysus Records’ Lee Joseph will be doing a DJ set of all rockabilly, poolside, on Saturday at 2:15 PM. There will be a Dionysus Records vending booth in the Outdoor Marketplace on both Saturday and Sunday.
