It's nothing personal but, to make a long story short, it's not Tiki Music (nor is it a reasonable facsimile thereof) so you probably shouldn't have posted it under the Tiki Music. Secondly, as has been mentioned numerous times prior, Tiki Joe's Ocean is established and is REAL tiki music. That's why he can post his music here and why he gets the love (and deservedly so) here. I decided to Google you to learn more about you and your Tiki music and I did learn a lot. I saw that on your MySpace page that your music is listed under the genre: Reggae, Ska and Tropical (I'm assuming this means Jimmy Buffett, Bertie Higgins singing Key Largo, etc). You go on to list your influences as The Skatellites, Bob Marley, Beach Boys, Lord Kitchener, Martin Denny, etc. I listened to your music and saw a lot of the Skatellites, some Bob Marley, a little Beach Boys, a lot of Lord Kitchener but little to no Martin Denny. Again, as a result, it's not Tiki Music. Your Reverb Nation pages says that "If you like Sublime, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, Skatellites and Sugar Ray you'll like Tiki Joe and the Bamboo Band. I hate to report this but those bands, as talented as they are, are not "tiki." You documented in your website that you and your producer Bones discussed your parallel love for ska, reggae and all around easy going good vibrations (I'm assuming the Beach Boys). This led you to recreate "the skankin' sounds." By "skankin' sounds" you clearly mean the sounds of the Skatellites, older Bob Marley, Lord Kitchener, etc. Again, this is not "tiki music." So, I respect you because you are a musician and I am not and I wish I could play an instrument but, since I can't, I respect those who can. However, it's just not tiki and just doesn't belong here. Again, nothing personal. Peace and good luck. When you make an album that really and truly is "tiki" I welcome you to come back and post links so we can listen with anticipation.
