Jeff, why must you always call me out, and make me "go there"?

Ok, I'll play....for starters:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF73Q2hgiOc

headlining the biggest "tiki" event in the world. Meanwhile, a hapa haole band that has been gigging for 10 years now is told they are "innapropriate" for a tiki event, not even poolside, not even in the elevators....

So a mosh pit is ok, but vintage hawaiian music is not. Can someone please explain that to me?

Maybe we are not cool enough for oasis....but we sure are cool enough for the NAMM show, where we will be performing in two weeks.

Lucas,

I'm not sure, but I would think that the Creepy Creeps would say that they are (not) a Tiki Band.
They played one year on the main stage, The Zombie theme year(Zombie-Creepy Creep)
get it?
They Have a Side project called Creep-zotica that has played by the pool.
Very mellow surf/lounge versions of their songs, and new ones.

But you wouldn't know that, because yer never there.
I would think if you liked tiki, you would go to events.
But we only see you at Tiki Events that yer playing at,
then you leave shortly after.
So yer take on what is going on is very limited,
and biased.
Try going to an event and soaking in what is going on.
Instead of trying to figure out why yer not playing it.
