Meh. Another poorly researched, mostly-inaccurate article for PolyPop noobs that does more to reveal the smug biases of the author than actually delve into the history of Tiki. At least the word "Tacky" doesn't appear anywhere in juxtaposition with "Tiki", so it's got that going for it.

I keep hoping that someday, someone will write an article that takes an entirely different slant on the topic. Maybe some enterprising reporter will dig up the skinny on how Tiki was made cool again by the Flipside Magazine crew hanging out at the Tiki-Ti back in the early '80s, Boyd Rice playing Exotica over the P.A. before his Industrial Noise concerts, and Goths eating ribs and drinking Scorpions at Kelbos.

Nah, it'll never happen...

Were you one of those guys? I remember talking to some old punks & rock-n-rollers
at the Ti back in the 80s I would bring band friends in all the time, like Demolition Gore Galore, Motorcycle Boy
"Fag" (Montana Dave's band named Fag FYI...) Zodiac Mindwarp & Ian Astbury to name a few
split my time between the Ti, Powerhouse, Boardner's & Zatar's mostly.
