For the first time since 1985, I'm between distributors so the shopping cart is currently the only place you can get Skip's CD. Kava Kon has made it to all the digital outlets, Chaino might be there as well...Skip will probably hit Itunes, eMusic, etc in July. I'll have these with me at Tiki Oasis as well.

Thanks for the heads up Lee!!!!! :)

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff

That's great!

Thanks for letting us know... I'm ordering the Chaino vinyl right now!

Hey, I have that Chaino on old thrift-store vinyl!
Kava Kon sound intruguing - I'm always on the lookout for new/modern/experimental/electro lounge type thingies as long as it doesn't sound too techno (which this does not).

Finally got around to listening to Skip Heller's new CD...wow, great stuff! And his liner notes have cool stories about Les Baxter and Robert Drasnin (Bob plays a lot on the album). Go get it!

I just featured the Kava Kon release on last week's Thrifiting for Tunes (www.luxuriamusic.com)... Chaino is coming up on the June 21 show... and I'll be playing some of Skip's record in early July! Skip's disc is really great tiki noir stuff!

Tiki Talk is holding a promotion this week giving away the Kava Kon and Chaino CDs.
