Let’s celebrate his homecoming with some Tiki Time! King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis (in some form) will perform music to digest turkey by, and with the help of the audience we would like to create a very special “Welcome Home” song for our friend Sven. AND Dominic Priore author of “Look! Listen! Vibrate! Smile!” about the Beach Boys lost album, as well as the recently released “Beatsville” will join us to discuss and show a rare video of the Grandfather of Exotica music Eben Ahbez. Dominic Priore wrote the liner notes for the 1995 re-release of the Eben Ahbez album “Eden’s Island”, and tonight he will bring rare video from 1948 featuring Nat King Cole and Eben Ahbez who wrote the Cole hit “Nature Boy”. ALSO Living Legend Bill Tapia the 96 year old Hawaiian ukulele player plays tunes just for YOU, 75 years after playing for the Grand Opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Wai Ki Ki!!! Wahines beware! PLUS As the Kahiki breathed its last breath, the Book Of Tiki breathed its first. For four years now, the Book Of Tiki has been the definitive work explaining to the masses this treasure we call Polynesian Pop. Later it was released as a paperback. Now, you can take a sneak peak at The Book Of Tiki in its third incarnation, the Icons series. Only one copy exists in the United States and on Friday night you can see it at Tiki Taix. AND Lost to the world for 50 years, this vintage 8mm film was found in its canister in Leucadia, Ca. a whopping 2574 miles from where it was shot in Hawaii. Take a rare look at this gem and remember the good old days on your 5 minute tour of 1950’s Kauai. ALSO Beachbum Berry’s Taboo Table: Tiki Cuisine From Polynesian Restaurants of Yore is newly released and we’ll be taking a quick look at some of its treasures. Illustration by Kevin Kidney and cover art by Bosko!! PLUS Take a look at some video of the Hukilau 2004! You can get a better idea of why Tiki Taix VIII didn’t happen as scheduled in September. Too much Tiki Madness on both coasts could have cost the country to crack down the middle, so we went to Ft. Lauderdale for the sake of the country. Join us for this one night only night one time. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park 90026 One block north of the lagoon.
