Band lineup and assorted news ~ Lots of folks have been asking me what time certains bands play, and the Burlesque dancers, etc. Here's a schedule of what's happening on stage: JUVINIHILISTS- 10:45am THE MARTINI KINGS will play in between sets of the main stage bands starting after Tiger Tiger! Note the two opening bands have changed, as Couple and El Capitan had major 7th musical difficulties beyond their control. The Juvenihilists are a bit of an all star band featuring Johnny Knox of Hi-Test fame (maybe you remember him from Hukilau '04) and Dan Elektro of The Woggles on drums. 'Vid (yours tuly) formerly of The Cogburns dusting off the famed Fenderbird bass and Shane of Tiger!Tiger! on guitar and sax. Great band to kick this shindig off with! The Wellingtons are a rare treat for us Yanks as they come all the way from downunder in Melbourne, Australia. They have perfected the snappy, uptempo guitar driven sound best known as powerpop and sound somewhere between early Green day and The Rembrandts. Smooth harmonies, magnetic guitar riffs and melodies with pop hooks that will tear your shirt off. You'll be humming Wellingtons tunes all damn day. They are killer muscians and if I could I would have placed them much later in the lineup, but this is a last minute replacement and I need to be fair to other bands in the lineup. We're thrilled to have them in their first US appearance! Do not miss! Other notes ~ Any vendors out there still wishing to sell at Tiki-Invasion, you are in luck! Download a vendor application from http://www.missiontiki.com and bring a check or cash with you to the gate on event day. PLEASE arrive early, gates open at 8:00am. Looks like more good news... we will have cold beer on tap PLUS a full bar available to the general public! Also explore the grounds to find the ultra hip "underground" tiki lounge known as Trailer Vic's, operated by none other than Johnny Knox and his adorable squeeze Melissa. This is a (you are reading this correctly) FREE bar that operates on tips, so be generous as you're guzzling that VooDoo rum from real bamboo cups! Also please remember that the box office only accepts CASH, no checks, credit cards or debit cards. There is an ATM inside the snack bar once you're inside, after you have purchased your tickets. If you want to charge your tickets please purchase them online at http://www.missiontiki.com. Thanks and we'll see you there! |
