The TakeOffs are from Kauai, Hawaii and perform instrumental music with two guitars, bass and drums. They do not sing during their performances. Bill Mello and Ron Rhoades play guitar, John Hunt is the bass player and Conrad Mathews plays drums. They perform very danceable "vintage" surf music from the early 60's as well as contemporary surf music from a variety of artists and their own original instrumentals featured on their CD 'Blue Avalanche'. They also feature some of the best Rock and Roll instrumentals of all time. The group has been together for 7+ years and perform at a variety of "local" clubs and bars as well as weddings, conventions and banquets at the major Hotels and Resorts. They have performed at the Kauai Hospice 4th of July event at Vidinha Stadium, The Koloa Plantation Days "Sunset Ho'olaulea" at Sheraton Kauai Resort where they also performed every Sunday at Sunset for over 6 years, and the American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life" event. They can play for up to 4 hours depending on the event and they are a fun, easy going bunch of guys who have been musicians all their lives and have each lived on the Island of Kauai for decades. They would be perfect for your "beach" themed events.
