WHO: TIKI JOE’S OCEAN
WHAT: NEW EXOTICA CD
WHEN: SUMMER 2009
WHERE: http://tikijoesocean.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!~

I’m happy to announce here on TC the upcoming release of my debut Exotica CD. For all the artists, musicians and friends who have heard about this and have listened to the demos, thank you for your support and positive feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.

All further info, musicians bio, etc. can be found at myspace.com/tikijoesocean. There you will be able to hear three demos made in preparation for the CD. The songs are (as demos go) unfinished, unmixed, unpolished and bare bones- just enough to give you a peek into what’s being done in anticipation of the release. Your feedback and friend requests are both truly welcome and appreciated.

A portion of the CD sales will be going to SURFRIDER FOUNDATION & the CARL WILSON FOUNDATION.

More information about the project will be released as the months roll along. I hope you all enjoy the demos for now and I ultimately look forward to bringing to you some hypnotic, mellow, upbeat, moody & fun Exotica to help complete your Summer ’09 scene.

Mahalo!

Rupe- I'll certainly let you know when preordering will be available. Mahalo for the great feedback.
Mr. Ruzic- Your unconventional (shock!) kudos were beautiful. I know they came with love from the depths of your silly, SILLY soul. Oasis it is, and YOU'RE GOING this year!
Son of Kelbo- Your enthusiasm is infectious. I got some great work done after reading your post. Thanks very much~

OK, back to the studio. More announcements, demos & surprises (!) in the weeks & months to come...

What's a "slaes deal"?
Am i missing something?
EXOTICAMAN!

yes LLT its a total inside thing "slaes" that is

MAN!
All the cool kids are in the know!

does "slaes" rhyme with
sleighs
or sleaze?
:)

seeing it's Andy's CD
i would choose the latter.....

Did you "sleaze" Ken? Gesundheit. :)

-Andy

ps Thanks DAWN! Let's make a deal? You got it~

:o Holy crap Andy! :o - I wish I knew about the demos sooner!

I totally dig'em!

Stoic Moai reminds me a lot of Nobuo Uematsu's work from the Final Fantasy gaming series (from '87 till now). Seriously, the composing is gorgeous especially when it kicks in with that eerie kinda vibe, which I love. I wanna hear more of this song!

Baxter Pad & Kihei Keiki also has that reminiscent sound of Uematsu and mix of someone else I can't quite put my finger on right now, but otherwise really beautiful!

Have you heard of Uematsu? I think you'd really dig his work! You should definitely hear him out Nobuo Uematsu special.

yeah....I'm a FF-nerd. :lol:

Keep Rawkin Andy!

Can't wait for more! :)

Nice sounds there, Andy! Will be great to blend them in with my Exotica mix for my summer Tiki parties. Yeehaw!

IS IT SUMMER 2009 YET?
:)

Any chance for a Spring release...? Hmmm...?

Or maybe another tantalizing demo...? Hmmm...?

GT

Great Things To Come! Mahalo Andy, Gogo

Thanks for the very kind words everyone. Things are coming along well & I'm happy with the progress.

Ravenne~ I hadn't heard of Nobuo Uematsu until you mentioned him- I certainly appreciate the comparison. His stuff is pretty cosmic, for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

Tikiwinebear~ Right on! I hope it adds some extra ZING to your parties this summer.

LLT~ Ken, in fact, it's always Summer 2009 - in your mind. BIG HUG, you kook!

Son-of-Kelbo~ Man I WISH I could get this out sooner, but alas, it's looking like July at this point. As far as further demos, I hope to have one (or two) more up by late Feb-early March- just a few weeks away! & thanks, Pallie.

Gogo~ Mahalo to you for the feedback!

Again, the feedback is truly appreciated. It keeps me chuggin!

CHEERS

Andy

Oh do I like your music!

Hi again everyone~

I'm stoked to have just added two BRAND NEW demos to the myspace site, entitled "WAIKIKI PURSUIT" and "GREY JUNGLE REIGN." They are as yin & yang as frantic & mellow. All the better to give you a glimpse as to what you'll hear in the final CD. Something for everyone, for sure.

PRE-ORDERING!--- We plan on having a pre-ordering system up by the time the official TIKI JOE'S OCEAN website is working, hopefully sometime in May.

The DEMOS are (as demos go) unfinished, unmixed, unpolished and bare bones- just enough to give you a peek into what’s being done in anticipation of the release. Your feedback and myspace friend requests are both truly welcome and appreciated.

I hope you all enjoy the BRAND NEW demos for now and I ultimately look forward to bringing to you some hypnotic, mellow, upbeat, frenzied, moody & FUN Exotica to help complete your Summer scenes.

Mahalo!

Sounding Great so far Andy!
hurry and get this Done so i can do the cover for the next one!

Checked out the new Demos and they sound SUPERB. Really dig what I could hear of "Waikiki Pursuit", and "Grey Jungle Reign" promises to be very intriguing new work in the genre. Gotta have both, and am very much looking forward to hearing ALL of your very sly "Baxter Pad"...

I will have trouble waiting for July -- but know my Tiki Hut will be humming with some great new Exotica by August.

Go TikiJoe go...!

the demos are great! I will watch out for the cd!!!

Mahalo fellas! Glad you enjoy the new demos.

LLT- I've got it in 4th gear now, Kinny. Creating as fast as I can!

Johnny C (SOK) - Really happy you dig the two new ones. Your steadfast support of this venture knocks me out.

Lemonsqueezer- Thanks for the props from half 'way 'round the world! And you were RIGHT about Bo Diddley!

CHEERS!!!

Thanks very much to those who have emailed or commented about the latest demos. The recording process is in its final stages & going very well.

Quiet Village Idiot- Thanks for your comments on the material. 12, count 'em 12 tracks on this venture. Hope you enjoy the final product.

Ravenne- "Teaser demos catch the fish, baba!" - Bootsy Collins :D The "selling" part is futile without YOU. Stoked to see what we can do.

.......(small drum roll)

We've decided to move the official release date up by two weeks to

SATURDAY JUNE 27th

My wife and I needed a little more breathing room to anticipate the arrival of our second child in the 3rd week in July, so on June 27th

THE EXOTICATING WAVES of TIKI JOE'S OCEAN

will be released.

PRE-ORDERING:
(I'm looking in your direction S.O.K.!) :wink:
The pre-ordering availability will be happening when the official website goes up on or around May 23rd, just a few weeks away.

As mentioned before, a portion of the sales of the CD will go to
The Surfrider Foundation http://www.surfrider.org
and
The Carl Wilson Foundation http://www.carlwilsonfoundation.org

and finally,
I'm happy to announce that the artwork for the CD will be done by none other than Tiki tOny. He created the ad that is currently featured in Tiki Magazine, and that mock up art in the ad will be turned into a painting to serve as the CD cover. I'm honored and excited to have such a cool artiste/beachcomber extraordinaire like Tony create the cover art. Thanks for everything pallie~

Until then...
Aloha~

Yay!!!! More exotica. Good stuff. GROG like.

This is really great stuff...go buy it today!

CD arrived here in Portlandia today (Friday the 26th), and I used it to christen the new outside sound system on the Aloha Deck. Aaaahhhh...sipping Pi Yi drinks in hollowed-out pineapples with the sound of Tiki Joe's Ocean floating through the air. Doesn't get much better. :drink:

S

Got it! Mine's #1 !!!!!!!! Awesome stuff Andy. You are one talented dude, and your double bass playing really gits me!

Now when are we doing a Thelonious Monk/Monks/Monkees tribute album?

It's Monk time!!!!!
