Kelowna live music blog presents…. Countdown to the Rockanagan Music Festival (September 28^th and 29^th). Get your tickets now at the five participating venues.

Rockanagan Featured band of the day – Haut chachis (surf)
Friday night @ The Fintry Queen

The Haut Chachis fall into a genre of their own best described as ‘instrumental surf-a-billy-roll with a twist of ska’. Exciting and upbeat, this four piece band has been hell-bent on making waves throughout the interior since late 2004. The Haut Chachis create a unique sound that appeals to a wide audience and have played big stages and small, i.e. pubs/clubs, festivals, parties, city parks, theatres and even on the back of a flat deck truck.

The dandy song “Fell off My Shoes” is the theme music for a hot new comedy show called Off Centre Television thats rolling into its second season this fall. Vancouver Fans- Keep your eyes peeled for the show on a boob tube near you. Unfortunately you cant get it here in the Okanagan but these spanking hilarious episodes can be found on-line http://www.offcentretelevision.blogspot.com
If you rolled the Reverend Horton Heat (Cat’s future ex-husband), The Ventures, Goldfinger and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet through the dryer, you’d pull out the Haut Chachis and one sock.

The Haut Chachis have a song in the soundtrack of a movie called “Acid Bath” by Warped Reality Pictures out of Los Angeles. This is a sick and twisted indie horror flick that you have to see for yourself.
