I gave it an honest listen. Passable ska music, good bass playing...but sorry man, this has nothing to do with either "tiki" as we understand it, nor with "polynesian"....and there already is an exotica band called "Tiki Joe's Ocean" which has been in existence for at least 3 years now, so you might want to look at a new name.

Your music sounds more carribean themed then anything else. But on Tiki central, we mainly talk about exotica and vintage hawaiian music as being "tiki"....(although surf music has crept into the scene as well-something I don't actually agree with)

Unfortunately, the public at large do not really understand the concept of "tiki" or "Polynesian Pop"....but this forum has tons and tons of information about the scene. I always suggest to newcomers here that they purchase either "Tiki Modern" or "The Book of Tiki" by Sven Kirsten, because these two books will teach you everything you want to know about "tiki" as a culture and style.
