The Ding Dong Devils have a brand new CD called Hello Little Olives! Derek Yaniger did the cover art and it's almost as much fun to look at as it is to groove to. In order to do things right, we have arranged a wild tiki wing ding at the Tonga Hut. Opening the show will be the Skip Heller Bossa Nova Quartet making their Los Angeles performing debut. We will have scads of CDs for sale and might even give some away if the rum works its magic the way it often does at the Tonga Hut. Don't be a square cats and kittens, come on down!!!

Less than two weeks away! Can your heart stand it? The CDs are being pressed, printed, processed... or whatever it is they do to make them as we speak!!

kudos for actually making cds,
in this MP3 only, crazy world we live in now.

Vinyl would be cool too,
but I know how expensive it is, and most Americans don't buy vinyl.

We are thinking about doing a vinyl release this time. We're all big fans of big plastic discs with large artwork.

Fun show tonight by the Ding Dong Devils. You guys sounded great and I'm digging the the new CD. Val and I are looking forward to the room party at Tiki Oasis. It was also cool to see some of the OC tiki crowd come up for the show. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in a couple weeks in San Diego.

See you at the Hula Hut!

The new CD is sooo.... GOOD !!

It's like the lost soundtrack to some 1960's cult Saturday morning Tiki TV show except the DDD's are way cooler than the Archies, Banana Splits, Josie & the Pussycats, and Monkees ever were.

I like how each member has their own particular song they sing. My favorites were "BBQ Tiki Ribs","Weeki Wachee","Yes Master!","Dance of the Tsetse Fly", and "Room Crawl" (the lyrics of which are so true, it's scary).

If you don't get this CD then you're not Tiki !!

"Yummy Yummy Rummy Rummy" is a great track too!
