First and foremost, we ended up NOT being selected to "headline" this year's Tiki Oasis...the "powers that be"decided we were not "right" for the line-up, and the reasons were that we had not won any Hawaiian music awards lately. We did, however, win the "noble piece prize"....no, not the world famous prize that is awarded to heads of state or super world-famous "exotica" bands....This is a lesser award, and we won it for creating this year's most derivitive sound-alike album! See, our strategy was really simple....using a casio keyboard and then buying the services of a lot of famous folk...we completely ripped of The Tikiyaki Orchestra..almost note for note (but just not as good). We were hoping no one would notice how we ripped off Jim's band...but our album just skyrocketed! Sales took off! It really reminds me of that scene in the 4th Pink Panther movie, where former Chief Inspector Dreyfuss is talking to Clousseux about how Clousseux was occupying his former position and reaping the rewards that should have rightfully been his...oh well, it's truly an old story and history repeats itself.... But don't worry..even though the Rhesus Monkey's have been relegated to playing lesser venues and smaller stages....our spirit remains un-broken! No matter how much we are disrected, kicked to the dirt, thrown in the "where are they now?" bin, the Rhesus Monkey's always seem to pull out of the tailspin at the last moment! Why? Because we are real musicians...musicians that take immense pride in what we do. Sure, we won't win any popularity contests on tiki central....but we know we are the REAL DEAL! We didn't purchase our way to the top of the tiki food chain...(we just stole it note-for-note and then called it our own!) So start sending those letters to the powers that be! Start a petition! Don't you want to see the Rhesus Monkey's headlining Tiki Oasis!
