DC is known for its politicians and fast culture, but weaved into the fabric of this eclectic city is an active, entertaining music scene. Punk rock to folk and everything in between can be found right here in our nation's capitol.
The Hula Monsters may be the perfect example of just how varied the music culture in this area is -- and just how much talent can be found here. The local rock-a-billy/oldies/country group is made up of regular folks who have day-time jobs, but who just like jammin' at night. They've been entertaining audiences with their hapa-haole style since the early '90s.
Cliff and I had the opportunity not only to see one of their recent shows, but to be part of it. Yep, that's right! See that hula dancer a few photos up? That's me!
Thanks to the Creative Alliance, the six of us were able to come together for an evening of funky fun music, and -- of course -- hula lessons. I've been dancing hula for the last five years, and always enjoy sharing my aloha with others. I offer a special thanks to all those audience members who braved humiliation and embarrassment to join me on the dance floor.
DC may feel like a city full of politicians and lobbyists, but this place offers so much more. Look past our hard, crusty shell, and you're certain to find some really special gems. [shaka]
