TM tiki mick Tiki Socialite SOCAL Joined: May 12, 2004 Posts: 4094	TM tiki mick Posted posted on Thu, May 22, 2008 1:06 PM I don't have the exact address (Perhaps someone else can help with that?) But it is in Huntington beach, basically at the corner of Magnolia and Garfield. About a block south of the intersection. In the same strip mall as the rock club, Fitzgeralds. For those people who have not heard the Smoking Menehunes, we are a vintage Hawaiian Hapa-Haole cover band. No originals. Our style is mellow, a bit jazzy. We play no exotica, surf or slack-key. Only "tropical swing". That's either a good thing or a bad thing! Good, in that we play some classic songs (actually, since we have a 60+ song list ALL the classic hapa haole songs are in our repetoir) bad because I know how many exotica and surf fans belong to this forum (we love that music too, but feel there are enough great bands like Waitiki and the Tikiyaki Orchestra playing that style already-we just want to carve our own little nitch) The band hails from HB, but is led by Palika, who is a native Hawaiian. We are steel guitar, upright bass and uke. Nothing flashy. Just meat and potatos. The band was intitially started by Lucky Designs and Tiki Bong, way back in the old days as sort of a mix between rockabilly and Hawaiian. Over the years we have been honored to have some luminaries such as Squid, Crazy Al and King Kukulele help us out with our sound. We take requests, encourage ANYONE to get up and jam with us, and like to make a nice relaxing evening of it. Occasionally our Godfather Bill Tapia sits in on Uke and shows us young-uns how it is done. Our logo and custom hats were designed and created by Tiki central's own CAMMO, and we have some t-shirts and stickers available. No CD. I strongly encourage anyone wanting to hear really, really old stuff (or as Palika sings it "songs that are old but still new") to come on down! If you are coming down specifically for the band, try to get there around 6:30. The food is great (casual seafood) and they serve Beer (No exotic drinks). Afterwards, you can usually catch good punk bands a few doors down at Fitzgeralds. Hope to see you!!

TM tiki mick Tiki Socialite SOCAL Joined: May 12, 2004 Posts: 4094	TM tiki mick Posted posted on Fri, Jun 27, 2008 11:08 AM This just in: We will be bringing and selling the following items: Smoking Menehune Ceremonial fountain-limited edition (3 made) for $499.00 and: Smoking Menehune offical kookylau mug-limited edition (3 made) for $39.99 The good news is you won't have to wait in the hot sun for 4 hours to get these fine items! You can sit in an air-conditioned restaraunt, drink beer and listen to a Hawaiian band (almost an afterthought) and score big with these items! Additionally, for this one night only the Smoking Menehunes will be featuring very special guest stars Jimmy Buffet on the Theremin, and the lovely Ms. Lilac Seville, Ms. Crystal cordova and Ms. Kitten Prius doing their world famous burlesque!! So if our previous announcements for these free shows don't grab ya, perhaps these will!! (Other then that I am sure there is a Rolling Stones concert somewhere that you might find more to your liking in the event that professionally played Hawaiian music from the 1950's doesn't do it for you!)

My friend Eric used to work at Spanners (where Robert shapes surfboards) with him. We used to surf with him every Tuesday at San O... Nice to see surfing royalty at the gig!

I lost track of him for a looong time but we have recently reconnected. It was just random that we ran into him there, he was there having dinner with a friend and didn't expect the crowd. Hang out some in HB and you'll run into him regularly! I'm hoping he will come to my birthday bash at the Purple Orchid, but no promises. [ Edited by: Kiki von Tiki 2009-01-25 14:52 ]

But he is a really nice, low-key surfer guy no matter how stinkin rich he is! LOL! Now back to your regularly scheduled Smokin Menahunes convo.
