It is with great excitement and pride that I announce the release of our debut album (CD, to all you kids), "The Wiki Wiki Grog Shop." It's a take-home luau in an easy to carry package. Full of old-time hapa haole hits, lilting melodies, smooth crooning, and sensational steel & strumming, it's sure to satisfy the island beachcomber in you. Recorded at The Wiki Wiki Grog shop using old technologies, 1936 RCA ribbon microphones for example, the album has an aura of the past, yet the sound is clean and sharp. In fact, our mastering engineer at Universal said it sounded like a "perfect restoration!" Not only will you enjoy the music, but the case it comes in, too! We had an all-star crew put together a piece worthy of shelf space in your tiki collection: Kevin Kidney channeled his love of old Hawaii into our album art; Sven Kirsten used the canvass of his camera's lens to capture us in timeless tropical space; Miles Thompson contributed one of his finest tiki paintings; Jeff "Beachbum" Berry was inspired to create an original, never-before-published, concocted-for-The Gents cocktail recipe for the liner notes, and Chichiwan brought it all together into a beautiful parcel you'll be proud to pore over and display. "The Wiki Wiki Grog Shop" and our T-shirts designed by Kevin Kidney are available online through our friends at Judd's Hill Winey. Use this link: http://www.juddshill.com/purchase.html Scroll to the bottom of the cart to find our music and apparel. We will be notified of every order. Our CD is also available at CDbaby.com: http://cdbaby.com/cd/maikaigents Mahalo for your support of our little combo, we are sincerely grateful. -Iuka Grogg Here's the front album art by Kevin Kidney: The fabulous Mr. Kidney also designed our t-shirts.
