Come to Don's and help us help Marie King!
One of the most exciting things about the Ohana is the "Aloha Spirit." There is an easy going feeling that certainly echoes the sprit of the Islands. And when a member of the group is faced with adversity, people rally to help all they can.

Not more than a few weeks ago, Marie King (bar manager at Don The Beachcomber and long time member of the Tiki community) was involved in a near fatal car accident on the I-10 freeway. Marie is doing much better now and is expected to make a full recovery. But she's still got a long way to go. That is why the Tiki community has banded together once again to do what they can to help out.

Join the Tikiyaki Orchestra along with The Smokin' Menehunes, Slackstone, The Elminators, Glasgow Tiki Shakers, Outerwave and the Boardwalkers as they create one of the funnest events of the spring: MariePalooza. And all the money from ticket and merchandise sales goes to help Marie King make a speedy recovery.

May 30th
2pm 'til Midnight. . . . . . .Tickets $25

Tikiyaki Orchestra Lights Up The Night In Tucson
The Kon Tiki Restaurant in Tucson, Arizona is the setting for spectacular once-in-a-lifetime event. The Tikiyaki Orchestra headlines an evening of music and spectacle, along with Thee Swank Bastards, Flam Chen & the Disillusionists.

The Kon Tiki is one of the last remaining, operational tiki temples from American's mid-century tiki past. The interior is almost completely original from the opening day--including, what some tiki historians call, the largest collection of Mila Guanko tikis, still in situ, in the world. The large, spectacular sign in front of the iconic Tucson, AZ restaurant features two large tiki torches that once lit up the desert night with real gas flames. Over the years, the torches fell into disrepair. The Kon Tiki has spared no expense to refurbish the tiki torches and for the first time in more than 25 years, the tiki torches are going to be relit.

The evening festivities will include a relighting ceremony by the renown acrobatic performance team Flam Chen, followed by a concert of great exotica and lounge by The Tikiyaki Orchestra. The evening will conclude with music by Thee Swank Bastards, all against the backdrop of the beautiful Kon Tiki.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event!
**There will also be a special, limited edition tiki mug to commemorate the relighting. Stay tuned for pictures and ordering information.

Now Available!
The newest album "Swingin' Sounds for the Jungel Jetset"- blending ultra-hip 60's lounge, swanky Exotica and Surf textures to create a unique soundscape of far away lands and cocktail toting jetsetters.

The Tikiyaki Orchestra is a musical experience unlike any other today. Utilizing a unique combination of sounds...smooth, mellow vibraphone, twanging, reverb-drenched surf guitar, pulsating theater organ, lilting Hawaiian steel guitar, bongos, congas, and an arsenal of exotic perucssion from around the world, all set against the sounds of the ocean and jungle. The Tikiayki Orchestra transports the audience to a place and time when Cantonese food was "exotic cuisine" and people escaped the mundane with the aid of strong, sweet rum-based cocktails served in tiki mugs with little colorful umbrellas.. i.e. Waikiki in 1955.

Evoking the sprit of past masters such as Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter, the Tikiyaki Orchestra performs original material from their CD "StereoExotique', written by award winning composer and band leader Jim Bacchi, as well as classic of Exotica, traditional Hawaiian, lounge, surf, spy jazz and cocktail genres.

If you are ready, let Tikiyaki Orchestra light the Tiki torches and take you on an exotic journey you will never forget.
