We wish you a Mele Kalikimaka and a Happy New Year at Tiki Taix XXXIX !!

Join Ali Lexa as he returns to Tiki Taix to play his unique style of 
Bebop Ukulele Jazz. Ali is best known as the host of his own Ukulele 
Spotlight show on LA radio station KPFK which features interviews of 
ukulele players from around the world. He's also the creative force 
behind his group Lexotica and recently produced LA's biggest ukulele 
showcase of 2007 at the Japanese American National Museum in Downtown 
LA.

ALSO

King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis will perform tracks from their 
recently released live CD entitled "The London Luau Presents King 
Kukulele And The Friki Tikis Live At Trader Vic's". Joining the King, 
Riki Kon Tiki, and Malahini Marc will be our featured guest of the 
evening Ali Lexa who will be given a new name for the night: Ala 
Moana Ali.

AND

Cinematic Tiki Treasure! A rare clip of tiki in an obscure 1974 film 
that is rarely if ever shown publicly. Take a look at the apartment 
that strikes fear in the hearts of those that dare enter!

PLUS

Bill "Tappy" Tapia who has performed many times at Tiki Taix in the 
past was recently honored at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, 
California commemorating his upcoming 100th Birthday. To honor Bill 
at his big Centennial Birthday celebration King Kukulele wrote and 
performed a personalized birthday song for Tappy and will perform 
this song again for the friends at Tiki Taix that weren't able to 
make it to the big birthday bash in San Pedro.

ALSO

For years and years going back to the earliest beginnings of the Tiki 
Oasis people have been asking about the King Kukulele LOOK. After 
many years of searching, the original inspiration has been unearthed 
and can be shared with those present at Tiki Taix. On February 27th, 
1967, a television sitcom aired an episode featuring a wood carving 
which eventually 29 years later influenced the birth of King 
Kukulele. Let's take a look!


Join us for this one night only event. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 
Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park, Los Angeles 90026 One block north of the 
lagoon.
