Ah Waitiki.... We tried so hard with that one... Most of the bands that played Hukilau in 2004 played there on their tiny afterthought of a stage...
The first time we played there (in 2004) they were cranking Lynryd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama over the clubs sound system... The whole scene reminded me of the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail... with more surgically altered breasts and noses...

The last time we played there we were asked to leave after two sets... The manager apparently thought that Terence Trent D'Arby was more appropriate for a tiki bar than The Intoxicators!...

James Teitelbaum put it best in his Tiki Road Trip book... He says that he is hopeful that the squeaky clean corporate feel will dissipate after several layers of dust a few decades of being lived in...

Cheers!
