I've spent some time in the Gaslamp district, drinking and carrying on, and I can only hope that they are very aware of the music that they play there. Most of the bars/ clubs down there play nothing but the hip hop and dance music. The crowds down there are a kin to marti gras. Ugh.

It kinda concerns me about new tiki bars going up now. The younger generation out there doesn't want to sit around listening to Hawaiian music or exotica all night long. Let's face it, that stuff can put you to sleepe real quickly. This may be blasphemous (?) but maybe lounge music with a dance beat to it? I think the Tiki Tones did a record like this.

Personally, I can't stand dance or hip hop but it is the reality today in clubs/ bars. Even rockabilly or swing may be able to keep people going. Remember the bar owners are only trying to get people in the door and are watching their bottom line. Just a thought...

Looking forward to seeing what happens with this place.
