I know I should post these questions in general discussion area.
But let's start here, and see who bites.
1.Have you heard the Blue Hawaiians?
2. If not, Have you heard of them, but not heard their music?
3. When you see the name, do you think-
They play Hawaiian music and not, lounge,tiki,surf, hybrid?
If you haven't heard them,

Edited to appease the almighty Grog.

That's THREE questions. Do we have a choice of which one to answer?
GROG' answer is YES, but it's not the right answer to all three questions.

It's good to know that medical procedure didn't mess
With Grog's funny bone, or smart ass.

The Marine Room! I have not been there since the 90s
when it was a stop for my "Hog Chapter" Sunday Rides
It's a small bar right off Coast Hwy.

It's a surf bar & will fill up fast with an audience
small stage area surrounded by tables & a pool table in the back
certainly would not mind seeing the "BH" in a small venue
I would not call it a cool place, though
pretty typical of the beach areas.

Come on Jeff! A bunch of us used to see them regularly at the Lava Lounge. Plus they headlined Tiki Oasis a few years back. It wasn't THAT long ago was it???

Who is this bunch of us?
All the old school tiki peeps from 90s n early 2000s.?
How many of them are still here on TC?
Lots of newbies to be schooled.
Now I sound like ATP

Seeing the Blue Hawaiians at Lava Lounge is one of the things Julia and I discovered we had in common after we got together. It is yet another instance where we have figured out we might have seen each other before we formally met.

I have seen them (twice I think) at tiki oasis in San Diego and really enjoy their music. This was my introduction to them.
Their type of music appealed to me way before tiki art, drinks and culture ever did. I was into this type of music (surfy-ish instrumental) before being introduced to the "tiki scene" but it took a tiki event to introduce me to this band.
So my questions regarding the larger observation of the early tiki revival folks/ scene are:
Was the tiki scene (events, gatherings, makeup of the community) of the 90s and early 00's mostly a LA/OC scene? (If this was already discussed on TC somewhere then it is cool if you hate me for asking  )
Did the Blue Hawaiians tour? Would anybody have had the chance to see them outside of LA/OC or tiki O?
I realize this is posted in California Events so the audience is Californians but I was just curious. I hope my questions don't derail this thread too much and are somewhat related and constructive.
Cheers,
SK
