...no pressure or anything :)

Yea, The Tikiyaki Orchestra, featuring Tiki luminaries Squid, Jon Paul, Digitiki, your truly,few other guys you may or may not know, and a possible surprise guest, will be laying it down at the Tiki Farm Parking Lot Sale.

Please remember to do your drinking before the event, as I'm not sure if they will be serving alcohol, and the more you drink, the better we sound :)

Apologies to the people who were expecting to see us at the Bali Hai back on November, we're going to make it up to you this time.

Look forward to seeing everyone there and bringing "StereoExotique" to life.

No need for any skeptics! It's hard to put together a big band. Even just three guys is almost impossible to coordinate schedules for.

JP is an awesome bassist, and a very cool guy! I am looking forward to hearing this!!

Gaaaaaassssssssp!!! Thank God! I didn't think I could hold my breath any longer.

Holden's thinks the fan baracades will stop us Tikiyakiacs, but if he thinks I'm leaving without a big handful of Jim's hair as a Tikiakimania souvenir, he's got another thing coming!

Well, I wanted to keep our image a surprise for the fine tiki folks, but our new band photos came out way too good to keep from the public.

I found this very rare Tikiyaki Orchestra vinyl hanging on the bathroom wall of a local saimin restaurant. Apart from some tempura splatters and shoyu stains the cover is in reasonably good condition. However, the actual vinyl was being used as a pupu platter the next table over.

tikiyaki posted on 04/17/2008

Yes...thats the "Psychadelic Monkey" single, released on brown vinyl.

The B side is "Cuckoo for Coconuts" - which charted in Denmark....Those Danes love The T.O.

We'll be offering yet another reissue of a rare 45 platter, recently unearthed at the Alpine Village swap meet and remastered on a Wollensak reel to reel mono deck with a faulty pinch roller. See Ken Ruzic for details.

THis one is long out of print and devilishly hard to find. Copies go for over $.99 on Ebay.

Got this already but with a different cover under the name "Made In Japan".

Waaaaay heavier than I expected and hardly tropical at all but man can that new singer scream! The twentyseven minute version of Space Truckin' was my fave ...

plus, I can roll fatties in the gatefold. Double albums rule.

tikiyaki posted on 04/17/2008

Yes, that was the singer that replaced Marty Lush after he went solo and released the triple platinum aformentioned LP "Chop Seycide".

Marty Lush has since rejoined the Orchestra after disappointing sales with his Country - Death Metal solo LP " Satan's Rodeo Roundup".

He has since learned that his true calling is Exotica, and being a Cheezy lounge guy is his forte'.
