Thanks Jeff. We'd love to have all of you Tiki-philes come on out to this show, as we've learned that Tiki people make the best audiences.

Oh man, do I wanna make this show !! Here's my Meshugga Beach Party story:

Several years ago, a friend of mine was having a Hanukkah dinner. As a gag gift, I purchased this CD that had a surfing Rabbi on it. I thought it was an appropriate gift since he surfed as well.

We expected the whole thing to be a joke album. That was NOT the case !! It turned out to be a very unique and complimentary combination of both classic surf instrumentals and traditional Jewish folk songs. We couldn't believe what we were hearing. My friend dubbed it "Jewish Soul Surf Music". Yeah, I know these guys look like a joke band but if you appreciate classic surf with a unique twist, go check it out.

If you missed them at Oasis (I know I did - passed out prematurely in my room!!) see this band!!
They play at Forbidden Island on a regular basis and never fail to bring the house down, so to speak. Consistently a huge draw, every time they play!
This looks like one heck of a show...wish I could make it...
Have fun.

Aloha!

Meshugga Beach Party were one of the highlights of last year's Tiki Oasis for us - seriously! Don't tell Trevor I said so, be he got pretty geeked out when he heard that George Tomsco was playing tomorrow night too. Sounds like a great show. We've got a small group of friends coming with us, and are really looking forward to it.

See yahs all tomorrow!

Meshugga Beach Party was amazing at Tiki Oasis, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them again, and also seeing George Tomsco twice this weekend (at Don's Friday and the Guitar Geek Fest Sat).

I wonder if Don's going to offer a Kosher Rum Barrel for the occasion? Here's a website that lists the (sadly, limited) selection of Kosher-approved rums: http://www.kashrut.com/articles/liquor2/ (I think Don Q Grand Anejo is supposed to be decent.)

Last night at DTB it was a full house, all three dining rooms were full, the bar, and at 9 pm the surf music started. During dinner in the dining room there was a great Hula show for entertainment, and then the surf music started at 9 with the "MESHUGGA BEACH PARTY", NEXT 3 BALLS OF FIRE, AND ENDING THE EVENING WITH GEORGE TOMSCO. There were outstanding drinks plus dancing. Great friday night. Thank you DTB.

Wow, what a great show!!
Thanks to Don's for having them,
And Thanks to Jonpaul and Marie for booking them.

It was amazing to see so many tiki people compared to surf crowd people.
John Blair, of the Eliminators, was also playing with George Tomsco,
and he asked me why there was more tiki than surf people.
I said, because tiki people like to get out of the House and have fun.
So Cheers and thanks to all of you who came out.
you rule!

and thanks for the pics,
keep em coming.

Oh Happy Belated B-day Hinano Paul!!

Huh? Tiki people vs. the Surf crowd?

Is this Poly-Pop's version of the Mods and the Rockers?

Remember what Ringo Star replied when asked whether he was a Mod or a Rocker:

"I'm a Mocker". :)

Great show, BTD. Again thanks for the TC promotion.

and a rare appearance of Dr. Z.
plus many more Tiki peeps.
thanks to all of you again.
