Aside from the String Cheese shows each night, Hulaween also has a nice mix of electronica, funk and bluegrass bands which will play during the weekend. Let's take a look at a few of them as we count down the days to our Halloween dance-a-thon in paradise.

Today, the spotlight is on The Main Squeeze , a hellaciously funky outfit born in Bloomington, Indiana in 2009, who now reside in Chicago.

This young funk band is known for their many covers-- from Stevie Wonder to Jimi Hendrix to Sly and the Family Stone and the Grateful Dead. Their originals are in-the-pocket goodness.

The Main Squeeze plays in the amphitheater at 9:45 p.m. Saturday, right after String Cheese's set.
