L Luckydesigns Tiki Socialite Costa Mesa Joined: Sep 15, 2002 Posts: 2374	L Luckydesigns Posted posted on Thu, Feb 17, 2011 8:25 AM This weekend, The Hula Girls will be debuting two brand new songs in Northern California. Never before performed live! The songs are "Mai Kai Mystery Girl" and "The Suffering Bastard"... I wanted to share the lyrics of Suffering Bastard with you. I went to college in Stockton, CA, just a couple of hours inland of SF. The song mentions a $1 Trader Vics decanter, thrift store find as well as describing what a vintage tiki bar scene looks like though my eyes. Pretty cool stuff, if I DO say so myself... Hopefully you dig it as much as we do! The Suffering Bastard copyright •HulabillyMusic• 2010 Marble (V1) There he sits with his hands on his head All full of rum, from the things he did Was it zombies, blood and sand, he was fed? Who can tell where it all began? (V2) A table of shriners erupts in a fight knocks over a volcano bowl that bursts into fire Glowing halos around netted fish float lights Each one explodes into an atomic night (CHORUS) Suffering bastard for you again Suffering bastard bleeds truth... Suffering bastard for you again Suffering bastard bleeds truth, my friend (V3) The lava rock walls seem to trap him inside A Predicta TV flickers static in the night A dried up fountain with tikis that have died The burlesque girls grab their clothes, run and cry (CHORUS) (V4) The wrecking ball waits in front of a polynesian paradise One dollar thrift store find on a cloudy Stockton night Rings of times in the past left behind One day the scene will replay in my mind Suffering bastard for you again Suffering bastard bleeds truth... Suffering bastard for you again Suffering bastard bleeds truth, my friend See you Friday night (9:00) at The Bamboo Hut and Saturday night (@ 5:00) at the incomparable Forbidden Island!

Hula Girls ripped up the place! Spike, Dominic, and the rest of the boys, thanks for coming up, it was a blast! A big congrats to Aquatic Safarinaut for finishing the Kill Devil list, and getting his plaque on the wall! I'm on your heels, buddy! Sobering up at La Penca Azul (formerly La Pinata) was great, too! Has anyone seen or heard from Dr. Z and Sabu? We kept a watchful eye out for them, but they never arrived. Hope they aren't re-creating the movie "Survive!" on the Grape Vine! I didn't really take any photos last night, as my camera is on the fritz. But I did manage to use my phone to capture Rugby Matt getting his cherry popped with a Virgin Sacrifice Bowl. Good times last night! Good times...

MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Sun, Feb 20, 2011 7:31 PM Nope! :) I meant this one, Survive!, the one that was made in the mid '70's. I forgot about that other version, "Alive", from the early 90's, is it the same plot line?

DZ Doctor Z Tiki Socialite Jasper's Reef, Torrance, CA Joined: Aug 01, 2002 Posts: 1620	DZ Doctor Z Posted posted on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 9:20 AM Sorry, merely the possibility that LapuRocker would be there was enough to keep me away... No, seriously, Sabu had some concerns about the driving conditions, especially on the Grapevine, so we decided we'd be better 'safe than sorry' (insert Donner Party/Chilean soccer team joke here) and make the trip up there another time. We would have posted sooner, but he's been battling a virus on his computer, and I have been without electricity since Friday evening. (Some fun!) Glad to here the show was great - lookin' forward to the new tunes & hopefully we'll catch up with our NorCal peeps in March...

Hello to that person & drop me a PM to say HI! Uhhhmmm, that was me, asking about "The Filthy Midget". Yeah I didn't catch his name either. Can I just say Hi here? As for the show, I loved every minute of it. Even did some dancing while sitting. (no not a lap dance) Imagine that.

L Luckydesigns Tiki Socialite Costa Mesa Joined: Sep 15, 2002 Posts: 2374	L Luckydesigns Posted posted on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 8:00 PM Thanks again to Michael at FI for having The Hula Girls up to play his bar. I am still in awe of the place! Amazing drinks, amazing decor, and amazing people there! It was great to finally meet some of the TCers that I've 'known' for the last 9 years, but had not yet met (especially Jungletrader and Unga Bunga, among others). And now, our photo journal from the road.... While this thread is about Forbidden Island, our journey began at the Bamboo Hut in rainy SF. The Bamboo Hut happens to be on one of the sluttiest streets in San Francisco. The only reason I remember the name of the street is because we met this old drunk Chinese man who kept calling himself Broadway Joe. He was awesome and kept insisting on knuckle bumping. It's on Broadway, full of strip clubs and adult stores... The Bamboo Hut from the back booth... The legendary Coral Sands tiki mask still overlooks the bar... Our bassist, Christian, in awe of the GIANT pufferfish lamps... Here's Bonger, tuning up the steel guitar behind cover model and now merch girl, Miss Dinah DeRosa... Blag Dhalia, singer of the punk rock band, The Dwarves, came to the show, as well as our buddies, Thee Swank Bastards! They happened to be in SF playing for an art show opening. Here's TSB bassist, Shawn, out front of The Bamboo Hut. I wish I would have snapped some pictures of Blag and Szandora and everyone else that we saw (including Broadway Joe).... L to R: Christian Kessler, Dominic Tucci, Miss Judy Luck, Miss Dinah DeRosa, Spike, and Kevin Bullat. Group photo... There was a pretty good sized group of tiki fans that came to the show! It was nice meeting Brenda of Brenda's Tiki Hut as well as the group of guys that came to see us. The Bamboo Hut is a pretty odd place. While their staff was amazing to us, the location invites total weirdness to happen. While we were playing, there was a guy in a top hat (think the singer from 4 Non Blondes) who kept dancing to himself in the mirrors. Fully 'on something' for sure. He proceeded to get into a fight with some big Suicidal Tendencies fan and ended up getting chased out of the bar. We also had yuppies, wasted birthday girls, vice cops, and all kinds of other people seeing the show there... And now back to Alameda... Here's our road manager, Mike, helping to, once again, load and unload the van. You can tell how excited he is... Mike also happens to be the manager of the legendary punk band, X. Bassist, Christian, in the back patio of FI... Mike, in awe of the amazing Forbidden Island! I tell you, the only other bar that I've been to that even compares to FI is Frankie's in Vegas. Seriously, the place is unreal. Dominic, loading in the tiniest bass drum ever. What it lacks in size, it makes up in sparkles! Yay! Tiki Bong, settin' it up... Fountain tiki carved by Danny Gallardo. Curse of the Tiki cover model, Miss Dinah DeRosa, taking her hula-a-go-go place on the raised platform... Hey, get to the stage! Yeah, you too...! The show! Forbidden Island was packed with the nor Cal ohana... and some So Cal ohana (John-O!)... but not Sabu or Doctor Z. Aloha... Another crowd shot from behind the rhythm section... John, Aquatic Safarinaut, receives his 'I've drank a thousand glasses of rum award' from Michael... Thanks again to everyone who came out to the show! Our reception there was just amazing. We really had a ball, thanks again! Also, we have a small amount of event posters left for sale. If you didn't get one, you can get them here: http://thehulagirls.bigcartel.com/product/the-hula-girls-forbidden-island-poster Looking forward to seeing more pictures from the night! Keep 'em coming!
