In a month that would be perfect to celebrate the reopening of the Enchanted Tiki Room, we have lost Martin Denny. This legendary master of exotica music will be deeply missed, so tonight's Tiki Taix XI will be dedicated to his memory.

Friday March 25th, 2005 10PM No Cover!!

The one and only Beachbum Berry will present his award winning film "The Secret of Easter Island" with scenes filmed on location on Easter Island! He will also present outtakes and unseen footage as well as answer questions from the audience. Don't miss this rare opportunity!

PLUS

Mr. Ukulele appearing for the first time at Tiki Taix! This astounding talent is a one man ukulele dynamo, he will amaze and entertain with his virtuosic dexterity. Mr. Ukulele plays a varied repertoire including obscure oldies and racie newbies.

ALSO

King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis will appear in some shape and take the audience on an anything goes tour of Tiki music. You'll hear originals, naughty hulas and a version of the Martin Denny hit "Quiet Village".

AND

In memory of legendary Martin Denny we present and encore of a video from Tiki Taix III of April 30th, 2004: Witness November 11th, 2001, Elks Lodge Waikiki . This is never before seen footage of the final public appearance oflegendary vibes master Arthur Lyman as he reunites for the first time in 40 years with Martin Denny to perform their hit "Quiet Village" one last time. Sitting in are members of the band Colon featuring Lopaka Colon, son of Auggie Colon, and ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro.

Take a look at the "Tiki Party" in the Queen Vic pub in Camber Sands England. This event was presented at the 9th Annual Rockabilly Rave Weekender in early March. The host was Detroit DJ Del Villareal and included an old tradition with a new twist that has to be seen to be believed.

Join us for this one night only event. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park 90026 One block north of the lagoon.
