THIS is what the theme is all about. The definition of hulbilly right here. The merging of hapahaole and rockabilly. A GREAT song by a great rockabilly singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ZT74-78EE [ Edited by: Luckydesigns 2013-08-02 11:08 ] |

Lucky, you hit it on the head. This one's a classic. The true Hulabilly period is really short 1957-1960 |

Please God, let #20 be Cammo's last HILLBILLY post! Squid and Ruzic did the HILLBILLY theme at Oasis several years ago. Well, here's Pappy and Junior rite now! And that city slicker, Big Toad stopped on by for a friendly visit. Our proud heritage! |

GROG thinks he's discouraging the "Hillbilly" theme with that last post but actually he's encouraging it !! Thanks GROG. :) Anyway here's Acapulco Radio at Purple Orchid on the first stop of their So Ca tour, all the way from Berlin. What a fun set it was. They are Hulabilly... |

GROG stop reading now! Stop! Don't read anymore of this post! Go over to Bilge or something! Go write something funny for a change! Cause this post obviously AIN'T FER YOU!!!!! We know you won't like it cause you don't like this kind of thing. That's OK cause I respect your special lifestyle. And I hope California allows you to legally wed soon. Anyway, the rest of this post is nothing but... HILLBILLY GIRLS! Here's a present for everybody making it to the bottom: |

Well...HELLO friends in Tiki~~ I left a great position recently, a hard choice but a good one...to accept an offer to support visualization and creative direction on the soon to be new, ''Clifton's Brookdale' in downtown LA...WHICH WILL BLOW MINDS when we get this open in the next year or so. The developer/owner is a truly terrific guy named Andrew Meieran, who also is owner and creator of the "EDISON"...an incredible place in Downtown LA as well. He and I were introduced to each other by no other than Holden Westland, who's mug genius will no doubt be part of the creations. Lot's on our agenda this year...and my plate creatively on Clifton's and several other ventures with Disney as we grow this new company and think tank. Anyway, Please come by the pool suite this Year and say hello! I am mainly here this year to actually just enjoy myself for a change...will be bringing a few prototype mugs I am creating that are super fun..looking for feedback, but thats all. I plan to have a new website soon to cover my Tiki Art items soon to come. Sharing the suite with me are my fellow partners in craziness, Kinney (little lost Tiki), and Al (that crazy one!). We hope to host a super fun open house atmosphere of socializing and artistic banter...plus rum! Come hang...it will be certain fun! Looking forward seeing old friends and meeting new! OH!! I busted a little arce last weekend to paint up an 8' by 8' photo backdrop for Otto for all you to get your pics taken in front of...a sure Hillbilly meets Tiki thang! I am posting the rough sketch I did as to what it will be like..but the actual one is far more developed and in full color! Imagine yourself sittin' on a hay bale like a couple of hooch brewing mongrel's!! See yah at Tiki Oasis! Magic and Aloha, THOR

Yaaay THOR! I cherish the memory of you sharing your ono-licious pizza & talking story with us by the pool after Ms. VanTiki and I were freed from our booth at 5pm at our first Tiki Oasis (2011?). Can't wait to see you! ON that note, I am finding it almost IMPOSSIBLE to focus on my day job responsibilities knowing that Tiki Oasis is literally DAYS away! I can't get on that plane soon enough! See you all in (gasp) 8 days!!! Henrik "VanTiki" |

It really doesn't matter....everyone who comes to Oasis has a blast regardless of the theme or how they interpret it so who cares if people go off topic. Its 4 days of boozin'....the whole weekend is off topic :) Its not like people will be booing The Hula Girls off the stage and stomping their feet demanding a bunch of people playing washboards go onstage instead :) Looking forward to Oasis so much...from the crazy outfits, room parties, the rock-a-sillies who think its a fashion show, the vendors, symposiums and of course the bands....esp The HGs opening up for SCOTS. It is going to be such a great Oasis!! 1 week to go! [ Edited by: SandraDee 2013-08-08 16:13 ] |

This is what I'm talkin' 'bout...
That said, I do think that Hillbillies are Tiki !! (Sorry Spike) :) "...the backwoods disinhibition of Hillbillies resonated with middle class suburban L7's much in the same way the "modern primitive" appeal of Tiki did. Hillbillies were free from all of the uptight social conventions that pre-counterculture America had to adhere to. Hillbillies said whatever was on their mind, made their own moonshine, married their underaged cousins, and shot at those pesky revenuers." [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2013-08-09 08:35 ] |

"The only reason we have this party is because Otto and Doe throw it." Absolutely. And I think Otto obviously did an freakin' amazing job this year putting together the band lineup, this is gonna be one fine hell for leather party!!!!! I hope Southern Culture On The Skids does some major sections of their Zombified record; Chris Sprague, Big Sandy, El Vez, the Lucky Stars, Jason Lee, the B Stars, Roy Rapid, Marina, the DJs and every single other performer looks top notch and itchin' to GO GO GO. I got no complaints, it just can't get here FAST ENOUGH!!! |
