Back in the old days in L.A., B-52s appealed to the crowd that attended Madam Wongs while X got it's start playing at the Hong Kong Cafe, the more hardcore venue. Good to see they are able to play together nicely.

Ding Dong Devils are the new B52's.

I know this is not a "Tiki event" but I am always surprised at how
many TCers make it to the gigs, The Starwood was where I caught a lot of X gigs
back in the day & the last time I saw the B52s they opened for the "Talking Heads"

I saw X with Oingo Boingo way back when....awesome show!

Just an idea.....Tickets for this show include entrance to the Orange County Fair
we could have a TC meet up after the gig and see who is brave enough to eat what ever
disgusting fried foods on a stick that are all the rage this year?

Me, a smoked Turkey leg & I am good....

But wait..
D.J. Bonebrake plays for X
and D.J. Bonebrake played on "Curse of the Tiki" by the Hula Girls.
and when Hula Girls perform, it is considered a tiki event
THEREFORE
When X perform, it's a tiki event

O.K. slightly flawed logic

I'm sure most tiki people , (Sadly)don't know about the 2 awesome
Orchestra Superstring cds that DJ plays on, and
Lee Joseph's label Dionysus has released.

That is a free concert by the way, thanks KB33rd!

If you can't get to the O.C. Fair this Thurs because you are in another part of the country, You may get a chance to see X when they tour with Blondie later this year.

X to Join Blondie’s “No Principals Tour”

Wish I could get out to Coasta Mess this Thurs but sometimes real life gets in the way....

Saw a lot of old men in punk t-Shirts there (Then I realized I was one of em!)
Great show!, Saw Spike & Dinah (Whom do not look old!)

Did not eat any of that fried crap at the fair though.

Ah, the wonders of advanced technology. If you miss a live performance, someone out there is nice enough to post some footage of it on the internet. Did not have that luxury back in the 1980s and before.

I'm down for a tiki meet-up around this gig. Couldn't make any of the ones this week and I do love X. Saw them last year with Ray Manzarek (R.I.P.)in Hollywood and got to meet Ray after the show. Too bad Clifton's won't be open yet.

Last time I tried to see X I almost got run over. I think I've tried to see them like 6 or more times and it has never worked out. I don't know what the deal is...

But I already have tickets to The Tikiyaki Orchestra at Don the Beachcomber!

I'm bummed about that Tikiyaki Orchestra show. I found out about it at last months Makeke but it was already sold out by then.

Guess I can still see the Mighty Watt.
