The Exotics, California Tiki Tour, Aug. 17th Bar Pink, and Aug. 18th Tiki House in San Diego

Looking for something to do in California the week before Tiki Oasis?
How about following the Exotics on their tour of California Tiki Bars?

http://www.myspace.com/theexotics
Have played at Chicago's Trader Vics, and the Exotica festival a few years back. As well as many other tiki events.
and Don from the band owns the Foundation Tiki Bar in Milwaukee.

So please come out and see this great band on their first West Coast Tour,
and end up at Tiki Oasis.
sounds like Perfect timing to me.

I'll be attending at least 2 of those dates, Aug 14 & 15.

these guys are great and they rarely play out anymore....back in the mid 90's these guys were makin the surf scene real early on....part of the original resurgence of tiki and surf here in the midwest..they, spies who surf and the the straightjackets were the only games in town when we were lookin for some surf sounds.....do not miss a chance to see these guys live (pick up their c.d. if it's available ). I sure wish i could see them at forbidden island or anywhere along their tour....seriously, catch these guys if you can - you will not be disappointed.

I'm salivating like Pavlov's dog, waiting for this tour.

CALIFORNIA TIKI TOUR
or
Tour to Oasis.

bump

these guys are truly great

lots of orig tunes and classic 60s style

I recommend "The Combover" by Ran, while listening to The Exotics

I will be going to the show at Tiki (house). Just two blocks away! Easy stumble home. They only have beer, wine and Han. And mocktails.
Edit: I am sure if you try to get a mocktail you will get some sort of stare.

Talk about a small Tiki world. I'm wandering around the basement of the SF Fairmont after having left the Tonga Room. I encounter a group of Aloha-shirted tourists trying to take a group photo in front of a Tiki. I offer to take the picture for them. They thank me and give me a band sticker. It was the Exotics !!

My hometown boys... Milwaukee's best surf band, and resident band of Foundation Tiki Bar!

I'll see ya Saturday night at Don's. It's gonna be a great night!

Now where did I put my designated driver?

Stoked!

Yup, the Exotics burned the hut down at Forbidden Island on Thursday night !!

It was a enthusiastic crowd, lots of Poly-Popsters in attendance.

Ditto on a great couple of sets at Trader Vic's LA.

But where were the converted that Friday night ?? There was Nepheria and Rama Lama (from the Ding Dong Devils), me, and a couple of TC lurkers (who's names I didn't catch). The rest were people just out for a quiet cocktail.

The Exotics considered it practice for the show at Don's on Saturday. I'm sure the rank and file will be out in force for that.

That should be a FANTASTIC show !!

I went to the Tiki Joe's Ocean CD party at the Tonga Hut (as did a few TC'ers), but am going to try to catch them at Don's tonight!

This band absolutely blew down the walls at Dons on sat. nite.
and had the crowd at the HB pier on sun. in a frenzy.

2 San Diego shows.

Tues. at Bar Pink
Wed. at The Tiki House in Pacific Beach area of San Diego.
with Secret Samurai.

I will be at the Wed. show.

amazing band, great showman, and a riot off stage while drinking and hanging out.

don't miss them.

Incredible band! Wish I could have made the pier show, but I had too much to get done yesterday so never left the house. However, Saturday's at Don's went off big time, and Edwin and Julia (Rama Lama and Nepheria) said the Exotics had the same energy Friday at Trader Vic's LA--despite a sparser turnout (though a rabid few TC'ers, including E&J and John-O).

Caltiki

one last show,
wed. nite. at the Tiki House in Pacific Beach,
real close to Bali Hi.
make it your pre oasis warm up night.
