You all missed an incredible show at the Hip Kitty club. Adrian, Cindy and I sat front row with Chris and Sarah behind us. I was shocked that there was only 25 people at the club and had plenty of empty booths available. Anyone could have walked in and sat within 50 feet of this amazing show.

I am not shocked. No mug release. No goofy band costumes. No loud rock guitars or drums. Just pure, excellent vintage hawaiian music.

Never mind the fact that, had you gone to a classic tiki/polynesian restaurant or club back in the real tiki era...this band is what you would have seen. Or, the polynesian floor show with musicians playing this type of music.

I love the sweets. For obvious reasons. They play almost the same type of music that I do. This is to me, real tiki music. God how I would love to see tiki go back to this! I mean, mosh pits at tiki oasis? WTF? Cant get excited with a band unless they release a mug?

I have gigs all weekend and all next weekend, or you can be damn sure I would go support this band. They are excellent. Good to see people out there supporting them from this forum, though it smaller numbers then I would hope for.

End rant.
