The Blue Hawaiians

The Blue Hawaiians are a Los Angeles band that combines elements of surf music, exotica and lounge. They formed in 1994 to play at the opening of their friend Michelle's Hollywood club, The Lava Lounge. They soon gained recognition with the help of the connection of one of their earliest fans, Quentin Tarantino, and appearances on the soundtrack of the television series Friends and the 1996 film Sex. The group have since released several albums which have generally fared well with critics. The band also composed and recorded music for the cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants, and their song "A Cheat" was featured in an advertisement for Guess Jeans.

The band features bassist/vocalist Mark Fontana (The El Caminos), lead guitarist Mark Sproull, and steel guitarist/rhythm guitarist Gary Brandin (The Vanduras, The Tikiyaki Orchestra, The Hula Girls).
