I agree, Kenike. Costs have nothing to do with Trader Vic's choice in music. If they are not playing exotica, it's because they don't want to.

That's the truth of it. Every restaraunt plays music. I am also an ASCAP member and have been for years, by the way. But the bottom line is what some other poster said "music that puts you to sleep". This is what is really going on, you dig?

PS, I love music that puts you to sleep. It is 100% what my band plays and I am damn proud of it. Done the rock thing already and have nothing but hearing loss to show for it.

The simple fact is that if the young trendy "in" crowd liked tiki music, then that is what they would be playing. They prefer Buffet, coldplay, the fray and beyonce.

I am sure every single tiki bar from Bali-hai to the maikai has heard "Play something that rocks, and turn this sleepy shit off" one too many times.

What can a tiki do about it??
