I understand your desire to hold on to what once was. Tiki music though has changed over time. Most of those groups you posted have added something to the tiki sound wether it be latin percussion or surf guitar. Our attempt is not to be just a ska band or a full on exotica sound. We are trying to create music that brings in all the elements of the islands. Hopefully our finished album will help show more about what Im talking about.

As far as changing the name, not going to happen.

Anyways I enjoyed all of the artists that you posted. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
