King Kukulele is keeping the spirit of the Tiki Oasis IV alive at Tiki Taix IV in Echo Park for all of you. Its a Kuku Kornucopia of Kick-Ass Kraziness. Speaking of Kraziness, C’Al may show up at 2am...he’s going to be selling out performing for “The Man” in Burbank. (You know I would never do that!) Friday May 28th, 2004 and every last Friday of the Month 10PM No The Smokin’ Menehunes are here at last!! Come welcome this Rockin Hapa Haole combo in their debut musical performance at Tiki Taix! AND! Another amazing surprise from the world of Miehana’s Musical Mele! ALSO!! A very special, rare Video Tiki Tour inside the home of “The Book of Tiki” author Sven Kirsten. Lucky for us he is in Germany at this time which means we may take a look into his underwear drawer and also we may get a glimpse of his upcoming book on Witco. PLUS! A brief look at the Tiki Diablo / King Kukulele European Tour 2004. See the South London Pacific tiki bar and Berlin’s unfinished Tiki Room. AND! King Kukulele will perform as of yet un-written songs! Never heard before and never to be heard again. Improvised right before you very ears. ALSO! Iuka Grogg attempts once again the amazing live sattelite link to cousin Rod Grogg live at the Tiki Ti!! PLUS! The debut of a new monthly installment of “Mai-TaiKus”. Written and performed by Tiki Bong! Join us for this one night only night one time. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park 90026 One block north of the lagoon. |

New MONTHLY installment of Mai-TaiKus by Bong? That would mean he'd actually have to travel up there every month from the O.C.? Unheard of. I'll believe it when I see it. |

If anybody was wondering about the food situation at Tiki Taix, you'll have a full menu of French cuisine (trés Tahiti) from between $10 and $20 including steaks, fish, and chicken dinners. You can also get snails and frog legs and the best damn clam chowder in America! BUTT the kitchen closes at 10pm which is showtime. I suggest you arrive early and get a table in the lounge, order early and eat during the show...isn't that how they used to do it at the Don Ho show? |

Crazy Al is playing for "The man" in Burbank? Which man? I'm in Burbank but I'm not the man. What's up in my hood that I don't know about. FYI Burbank= Mayberry, if you've never been. |

To whom it may concern Tikifille. This thread is to announce a show called Tiki Taix in Echo Park NOT Burbank. And if Al wants to sell out to the man at a Private Party that YOU CAN'T GO TO in Burbank thats no concern of this thread. If I had known that you had an insatiable rabid obsession for Crazy Al I would never have mentioned it. Maybe Al is just too afraid to show up to Tiki Taix. Normally I would commence making chicken noises right now but thats really hard to spell out. So anyway back to the thread, "At Tiki Taix your show is FREEEEEE!! Your Killing me Tikifille!" And you may even hear some Star Trek....but not in Burbank. |

YES! Those who come with rubber chickens under their arms, (a reference I still don't get) will enter at half the cost...which is nothing. Now half off of nothing is nothing and nothing from nothing gets you nothing! You signed the contract! You stole fizzy lifting drink! You get nothing! Good day sir! Good day sir! |

WOW what a show! Thanks to all of you who came out to Tiki Taix IV, if you weren't able to make it then try to come out to Tiki Taix V on June 25th! The Smokin Menehunes were SMOKIN and it was great to have them at Tiki Taix. Chiki Tiki aka Tiki Diablo did a little riffing with some video of Berlin / London. We had some great 16mm films brought by Miehana, video of Sven's "Big Bro Tiki" Kirstens home. Iuka and Rodd Grogg FINALLY made it to the Tiki Ti! The Friki Tiki's created a brand new song about selling ice cream and crack cocaine at a school in Sweden...WHAT A NIGHT!! And Olivia was on TV!! Oh yeah, we also had Mai Tai Kus and magic. |

Ah well! You know I LOVE playing Grateful dead songs, or at least excerpts...they are such a great influence on both Bong and I! Such a soulful and groovy band!! In fact, yesterday while Bong and I were comparing our rasta-hackey-sack collection, we both agreed that the menehunes should start including both Jimmy Buffet AND Dead songs in our set! natch!! Just Kidding! |

Oh, and what the heck happened to my eyes in that picture? I look horrible! Even worse then in real life! In every picture I have ever seen of myself, I either look dead and bloated, or like I have cramps! I think our band needs a new schtick! perhaps the pods from spinal tap, or something similar! And we need the Smokin menehunes mach 2 free form jazz excursion to be more of a pay-per-view bass-less working cruise followed by a puppet show! |

I agree: More TAP!! The Friki Tikis took a good shot at both "Big Bottom" and "Sex Farm" during their set - I think an extended rendition of "Stonehenge" or "Rock n' Roll Creation" would fit the Menehune's style nicely! (provided that all y'all would be able to get in and out of your pods sucessfully...) |
