I think walk the plank sound great, but I agree, but definitely an "Exotic Surf" band, as opposed to an "Exotica Band"...but, hey, that's a genre that has not really been established yet, so that's a good thing, as it's more groundbreaking. No one has claimed to be an "Exotic Surf" band before. Either way, it's just a label, and labels can be limiting. If you listen to the Blue Hawaiians "Sway" album, you will hear the clear cut establishment of this style....they're far beyond just being a surf band. I think they really pioneered what can be called an "Exotic Surf" sound. So, sorry WalkThe Plank guys to derail this thread.....keep on making the great tunes. Kudos to you guys for writing your own songs and not relying on the standards. Always a good thing in my book. have fun at Hukilau...we sure did.
