I thought maybe it might be a good idea to have a thread about just the bands that played at tiki oasis.....

(If not, someone please merge this thread with the "official" thread)

But here are some of my favorite moments:

Squid sitting in with the Swank Bastards...awesome, just totally awesome! The man is so loose, yet so tight at the same time. This was one hell of a room party!

The Martini Kings with their singer brought a lot of class to the stage, that's for sure! I am sure Mr Vegas, John-O, would have approved!

The elevator show with the Mai-Kai gent's bass player and guitar player. These guys were throwing down some serious jazz! Makes me happy to see such a level of high musicianship. That bass player is too awesome for words! As drunk as I was, this was actually one of my favorite things I heard over the weekend!

Jim Bacchi sitting in with Lushy (did I get that right?) on his bongos.....wow!

The band chum was really killing it during a room party...loud and wild, but they were GREAT! I did not realize the drummer is also in the Insect Surfers!

And then there was APE. Ok, I have seen them before but really was not expecting the level of tightness they showed, considering they hardly ever play. Every member of that band is excellent...but a special shot out to that crazy drummer. The man needs to be committed to a mental institution...what with that homicidal look in his eyes! God DAMN he is good! C-Al was like a lord among men, prowling the stage, singing, dancing, hacking away at his tiki. I even got a wood chip in my glass!

Well that's it for now......
