Anybody got any more suggestions? I am not sure what you consider "tiki" in any of that. Ocean themed tunes? Songs about water? I am not trying to be a smart-ass, but in my opinion, there really was no "tiki music" before the tiki revival that occurred in the late 90s. Tiki music was Martin denny, Robert Drasnin, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman. That kind of thing. From the jazz/Hollywood soundtrack world. Nothing to do with punk or rock. You probably should check out some of the newer bands in the "tiki" scene. Ding Dong Devils, Creepxotica, etc, if you want punk/garage band stuff that still has some relation to today's tiki scene.
