In my opinion, Spike, your band is the first and only hulabilly band.

Have you listened to the Hapa Hillbillies?

No, I have not. But after listening, I believe they sound more like the band Exotiki...which to my ears, are better then they are.

I stand by what I said. Spike had the idea 8-9 years ago. The Hula Girls is a band where pretty much most of the original songs are a rockabilly/hawaiian mix. A lot of the bands on this thread have done 1 or 2 songs, as a novelty. Spike's entire band, The Hula Girls, is dedicated to this concept.

And I pretty much can bet that in the months before tiki oasis, and after, there will be a slew of bands copying the Hula Girls. Then you will know how influencial they are.
