Aloha!

Celebrate Fat Tuesday, March 8, with us and Kiki Tiki at Painkiller NYC!

Join us in the hedonistic hideaway that is the back room at PK for a night of pure tiki decadence. Wear a Mardi Gras mask, get a lil' somethin' from us. Kiki has organized a pot luck soirée for the back room: bring some snacks to share, say "aloha!" to friends old and new, and prepare to enjoy the most amazing tiki drinks and exotica in good ole NYC!

Gina of the Jungle and I are on again tonight (Tuesday, March 15) at Painkiller NYC, filling the room with Exotica from 6:00 until our tiki torches wane...

Come by and enjoy the real tiki cocktails with the real music for them!

T

Great meeting you guys last night, sorry if I talked your ears off... The music and drinks were killer. (this jet pilot is now grounded!)

T

Oh no, not at all. We love talking music, tiki and cocktails! Always good to meet like minded whatever-we-ares.

Heh! Hope you are kidding about being a grounded jet pilot. Please fly in again soon. I think I set a few altitude records myself last night. The Jet Pilots are awe-inspiring. So was that cooler made with black strap rum. I think it might have been called a Guatemala cooler? - and you need to specify black strap rum.

Then there's the Luau Mist...

Gina of the Jungle and I are on again tonight (Tuesday, March 29) at Painkiller NYC, filling the room with Exotica from 6:00 until the tiki mugs are dry...

Sorry folks: No Exotica at PAINKILLER tonight ;-(

PK is closed this evening to prep for a super-last-minute private party. We'll be back on Tuesday April 19th, just in time to help alleviate all post-tax day pains.

And if you can't wait that long to hear us, please join us this Friday for The LOUNGE, an evening of cocktails, music and dance. $45 admission includes top-shelf open bar all night.

Primativa in Hi-Fi at PKNY is canceled tonight, Tuesday, August 30. Sorry, for the short notice. We are dealing with flooding issues from the Passaic River caused by Irene. Another crest is due tonight at 9:00 pm. This issue is not related to PKNY. PKNY is of course, open for business as usual.

T

We are back at PKNY tonight (Tuesday September 6), playing classic Exotica for your sipping pleasure.
After missing a week due to flood interference, I am extra looking forward to that tropical cocktail!

We brought back the new Jerry Sun LP from Tiki Oasis to lay on you, and inspired by
DJ Wendy O'Rourke, we also picked up a copy of The Fantastic Sounds of Eddie Baxter.

It's got some killer Exotica tracks!

Would just so love it if you spin the exotica sounds on a Friday and/or Saturday, and post the details here! The City can really use some better sounds on the weekend, you know they love it...just sitting at the bar, having a good drink, listening to music that just suits the moment....a very rare treat on the pounding streets. All the best, greenfire.

T

Thanks, greenfire. We are not spinning Exotica in NYC on any weekends yet, but we are always looking for that opportunity.

More exotica more often is more better!
