....A FRENZY OF MUSIC AND ACTION !

I Loved the Swamp Zombies !

Shag with long Hair singing !

Awesome.

Yeah, I am guessing I saw them in the late 80's, at some scummy bar in seal beach...

The bass player had a big green upright....

I got a big orange upright.....copycat!!

It's funny as they describe them as sounding like "Hippy violent femmes"....but as I recall they sounded a lot like very early Adam and the ants...kind of rockabilly, kind of punk...like "car trouble" or "kick".

We were drunk and giving the singer some crap, heckling, that kind of thing (I was with my band mates that night) . What a guy! He came down to our table and hung out with us anyway, drank with us!

Shag is literally one of my favorite artists in the world, along with Yanneger and people on this forum like Squid, C-al, B-Ben, cammo and LLT...

Laguna Beach ( some nut lit a huge fire) and Costa Mesa ( on loan from the prado?).

Good times from that acoustic 3 some!!!

well considering its only 1 guy of the 4.
you didn't see them, technically.
:wink:

Wish I had time to check this out a little more but I am getting ready to go to Santa Ana to check out the Art Show with Kinny, Squid, BigToe, Clydalle and featuring "The Kogi Taco Truck".

From that photo at the top of this thread I do recognize the fellow on the left. He was the longtime bass player of The Maikai Gents. A fine fellow who plucked them strings under the name Kiwini Hekili Hoku.
You can see him smilin' at: http://mkgents.com/about.html
Scroll down about halfway.

Oh, and yes... The Huntington Cads: Welcome back!

holly cow,
I knew that Benny was a past Mai Kai Gent,
but I didn't know that Steve and Greg were also ex members.

"Go Exotic" is like 50 bucks on Amazon, but man I want it.

hmmm

[ Edited by: nature boy 2009-05-14 09:41 ]

if they were to repress that, man they could cash in at Tiki Oasis.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

I saw the last show Josh played with the Tiki Tones at the Doll Hut? in Anaheim, probably
around 2001. Great show, Great band and only about 30 people were there, of course that place
was small. If you ever saw them play, Kitty 21 was tasty!

I was at that show.
their actual last show was for Otto's wedding.
the doll hut was the last public show.
:wink:

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Great band, great guys, we (Del Noah & the Mt Ararat Finks, my band at the time) played with them many times in the 1990's, and I've never seen them give anything less than a stellar performance! It is going to be great to see the Cads in action again at Tiki Oasis!

Actually, there are more original members of The Finks (2, Steve and Chris) than The Swamp Zombies (1, Josh) in the Huntington Cads. Chris Barfield is one of the most tasteful guitar players out there, on a Hank Marvin kind of level.

PS - I'm kind of jumping the gun, but it looks like we're going to have a Ding Dong Devils suite party at Tiki Oasis, with Ding Dong Devils playing, and a special concoction that our mixmaster Rama Lama is formulating as we speak.

Check gemm.com they have the vinyl LP pretty cheap.

Can't wait for TO 09!!!

go exotic is an excellent album - I love the vibes on it. My absolute fav is their western EP. I REALLY want to make it to see the HC's play - apparently they used to play at Tigermask, and I went to several of those at the garage, but I don't remember seeing them.

Thanks for getting us stoked on this Jeff!

Thanks Jim,

For those that are looking for, or have never heard this:

I play all 4 songs from it in the Podcast I did for Whorehay.

Hey BigFeakyDude,

You've got two threads of the same thing. You're even posting the same thing to both threads.You did title them differently.

well considering that hardly anybody goes to tiki music,
and SHAG getting back with the band is pretty big news.
I thought it deserved to be in Gen. also.

look at how many more responses are here.
