I personally like the insect surfers and space cossacks, that kind of thing. But in a nutshell, (and speaking from a musician's perspective) surf music is not hard to play. That's why every time I hear of a new "tiki" band starting, it is invariably a surf band. There are just not that many totally pure exotica bands out there right now. The ones that do exist are also doing a damn fine job. Mr. Ho, waitiki, don tiki, martini kings, stolen idols, and that one swedish or german band whose name I cannot remember or pronounce. That's only a handful, really. So I agree with vampiress and Kaimuki. I would like to hear more true exotica bands. But somehow I don't think I will. True exotica is too hard to play, and most people (even tiki people) really don't care for it. [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2013-04-10 11:30 ]
