Kudos to you for preparing this historic Exotica music event. The impact of this cannot be over estimated!

First off I want to make sure everyone is aware how incredibly awesome and valuable Robert Drasnin is to the current Exotica scene. His orig Voodoo lp has been cited by many musicians as one of their favorite Exotica releases. People like DJ Bonebrake and Les Baxter historian Skip Heller, no less. If that is not enough to hang your hat on, dig the fact that he came back during the current Tiki revival and released Voodoo 2 with all new orig compositions in the same style. The only orig Exotica artist to do so.

Bob drasnin performances of Voodoo material are extremely rare. I believe this will be the first ever, indoor performance of Voodoo material in So Cal?

Add to that the resurfacing of Combustible Edison core members playing a set of CE music for the first time in over 10 years.

You mentioned Qeuntin Tarantino as a fan of theirs. I want to add Matt Groening, Mark Mothersbaugh, and "Space Age Bachelor Pad" founder Byron Werner to that list. All of whom I met at a CE gig in 1996 in LA.

And of course, a rare west coast appearance from the great WAITIKI with vocalist AND cover model Sherry Shoaling!!

Baby Doe and I will be there and we'll bring our LA friends!!
