The Banana Bunch is a premier steeldrum band based
in Southern California. The core members are Chris Wabich on steeldrum, Kirkwood
Coakley on bass and Greg Paxton on drums. They perform a wide variety of styles
including Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Rock and Pop- either instrumentally or with
vocals. The Banana Bunch is guaranteed to make any backyard party, wedding,
corporate event or Christmas party festive indeed!
The Banana Bunch needs an 8 x 10 foot
area with a hard, flat surface that is near a power outlet on which
to perform. Shade is preferable, as steeldrums will go out of tune
with exposure to the sun. If no shade is available, please advise
and the band will provide their own.
Also available: Three Hour Tour
What happens when two rock and roll
castaways from Southern California are shipwrecked on an uncharted
desert island with nothing to entertain themselves but some
instruments that happened to wash ashore? That's the idea behind
Three Hour Tour. Gregg Paxton plays a steel drum that floated in
from somewhere in the Caribbean , while Thom Brennan strums a
ukulele that was set adrift somewhere in the South Pacific. It
doesn't matter that the two instruments are from different cultures
when they happen to sound so great together! Everyone from Harry
Belafonte and Bob Marley to Herb Ohta and Israel "Brudda Iz"
Kamakawiwo`ole are represented in this duo's unique sound. Toss in
some Beatles and Elvis Costello and you'll see why these guys are
rockin’ the Island circuit. Now, just sit back with your favorite
fruit drink and get ready to enjoy Three Hour Tour!
