Show Notes: The Cutthroat Brothers are a garage-rock band with a swampy blues edge and a psychobilly vibe, thanks in part to Jason Cutthroat’s gritty guitar sound and gargled-with-gravel vocals. The other half of the duo is drummer Donny Paycheck. Both are barbers. Donny’s shop is in Tacoma, and Jason works in Kona. They still manage to rehearse and record these days despite the pandemic. In this interview, Jason talks about the new album and a track that almost didn’t make the record, a recent show on the mainland, and an upcoming European tour.

After a two-year hiatus, Beat-Lele, the Oahu-based Beatles tribute band, returned to the Big Island for two performances at the Kahilu Theatre with shows on December 2-3.

Beat-Lele’s humble beginnings date back ten years ago when they were performing as Day in The Life at Minato’s restaurant in Honolulu. They performed without costumes or mop-top wigs, and their focus was strictly on getting the music to sound like the original records.

In 2017, the band transitioned from electric guitars and a drum kit to an acoustic ukulele sound with an island twist. Beat-Lele remains the only Beatles tribute band within this niche.
