That may sound a little unlucky but rest assured that no Tikis were disturbed in the process of bringing you this show. The curse has passed over us and this promises to be night to remember. Friday April 29th, 2005 10PM No Cover!! Take a trip back to Waikiki in the 60’s with the beautiful and harmonic ukulele stylings of Bob Tomei. Another great discovery from Hawaii, he lead the band “The Astaires” in the early 1960’s and currently heads up “The Ukulele Rascals”. Don’t miss the Tiki Taix debut performance of Bob Tomei, a true Hawaiian menehune! PLUS The delightful Deedee will tempt your eyes away from her hands but don’t fall for it. The hands will tell the story as our Hula wahine dances to the live accompaniment of Bob Tomei and the Ukulele Rascals. ALSO The King has invited filmmaker Paul Bacca to screen some rarities from the Echo Park Film Center. Tonight we will have a few surprises, but just to wet your whistle how about a short peek at the 1926 “Moana: A Romance of the Golden Age” by Robert Flaherty. Shot on location over two years of filming on the island of Savai'i, the narrative follows the boy Moana through his daily activities and his rites of passage into manhood in Samoa. AND King Kukulele and the Friki Tikis will of course treat the audience to a healthy dose of irreverent lunacy. This month as an added treat you will have the chance to see Tiki Tarmu that vibes playing fool swinging four mallets through the air. We’re even going to ask Tiki Tarmu to play a couple instrumental solos. Don’t miss it. PLUS Trader Vic himself once told the wildly dramatic tale of his heroic search for a real buffalo to serve to a visiting dignitary from a far away land. We don’t know if Trader Vic was aware of the fact, but his story has been recorded in its entirety. At Tiki Taix we will present Chapter 1 of this epic saga and give the audience a little insight into the storytelling talents of the one and only Trader Vic. Tiki Taix starts at 10pm, located at 1911 Sunset Blvd. (at Park) Join us for this one night only event. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park, Los Angeles 90026 One block north of the lagoon.
