waitiki - dec. 27, 2008 (honolulu, hi)

Howzit Tiki Central friends:

WAITIKI will be making a "one night only" appearance in Honolulu this winter at Hawaii Public Radio's Atherton Studio. Come see us on Saturday, December 27, at 7:30 PM. Tickets will be available via KHPR's website, http://hawaiipublicradio.org starting December 1st. Seats are limited; the studio only holds 75!

The band will include Tim Mayer (flute, saxes), Greg Paré (vibraphone), Helen Liu (violin), Randy Wong (bass), and Abe Lagrimas Jr. (drum kit), and will have some special guests. This will be Tim's and Greg's first trips to Hawaii, so please come and welcome them to the Islands.

Our show will play tribute to Honolulu's "chiefs" of Exotica, namely Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman. More info will be posted to this thread, and to our website www.WAITIKI.com as it becomes available. We look forward to seeing you there!

-Randy & WAITIKI

Christmas in Hawaii!!!!!! Oh man......Egg Nog....a little rum and a sunburn. Life is good.

Tickets are now on sale for this event!

Please note that this is a LIVE CONCERT ONLY—the radio station will not be re-broadcasting it.

We only perform in Honolulu once every 2 years, so don't miss this one. Lopaka Colon (son of the great Exotica percussionist Augie Colon) has since joined the band and will be playing with us at this show also.

Making a special appearance will be Shrunkenin Skulloma (Kenin Coloma), whom some of you met at Tiki Oasis 2008.

It will be a fun night, guaranz!

Last night's show sold out a few days in advance. It was a really great night—everyone in the band has expressed to me what a pleasure it was. Thank you to all who bought tickets in advance, and sorry to anyone who came to get tix at the door but couldn't get in. Hopefully the next time we come we can play two back-to-back nights or something.

It was great to see some of the TC'ers that made it out: Fil Slash, Gecko, Freddie—Okonkuluku!

We will be posting pics and videos soon. If any of you took pictures, please post them to this thread!!!!!
