I have been racking my brain for 7 years trying to figure out why Hawaiian related stuff is not tiki, yet punk rock and fezzes are. If someone can explain it to me, maybe it would make sense why punk bands and "munster" riffs are featured at THE Tiki event, "tiki oasis" while a vintage hapa haole band is not welcome. Check out the smokin' menehunes myspace and listen to our songs, and then someone please tell me how this is not the correct sound for a tiki event, let alone a tiki bar.
