What! oh hell yea! saw them in 1980 & 1994 (I think?)
Doug Horne & I will be looking into this...

Oh yea...not Tiki....but cool.

I've seen 'em before too... Santa Monica Civic 1981. Perhaps ATP, that is the "1980" show you are thinking of? They played the Long Beach Convention Center in '81 too. http://www.technopop-archive.com/data_tour.php

Out of these upcoming shows, I think I would make the Radio Activity concert my first choice.

Yes, I am loosing it, Santa Monica Civic 1981, great show
saw Tim Curry at the civic in 1979 as both Clash shows that year also.

#4 The Man-Machine show or #3 Trans Europe Express

Perhaps Kraftwerk is not directly tiki but could be decendant of original exotica.
Both types of music try to create environment and atmosphere as opposed to telling a story or conveying an emotion or opinion as most popular music tries to do.
