1978 ??

Didn't the New Wave shows at Madame Wong's start in 1979? That means that Madame Wong's went from Poly-Pop to "Punk" without skipping a beat.

There's your Tiki --> Punk Rock devolution (evolution?) connection !!

I'm so happy. :)

And let's not forget the Mabuhay Gardens (albeit Filipino) in SF that was "kitschy Oriental" hosting Punk Rock during the same time.

UPDATE - Good work Hakalugi !! Muchas Gracias.
