agents:<br />
Your assignment, should you decide to<br />
accept it, is to gather intelligence,<br />
document suspicious or gregarious<br />
activities, and to ensure that rum<br />
consumption remains safe for the free<br />
world. During Mission: TO12 you<br />
should assume the international<br />
exotic flare of a secret agent on<br />
maneuvers in "The <strong>Tiki</strong> Affair"<br />
and bask in the faux tropical<br />
locale. You may have the<br />
support of agents from T.I.K.I.,<br />
A.L.O.H.A., F.A.L.E.R.N.U.M.,<br />
OR H.U.L.A. As always, should<br />
you or any of your T.I.K.I.<br />
Force be caught, the Secretary<br />
will disavow any knowledge of your<br />
actions.<br />
Enjoy your stay in the <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong> Village.<br />

King Kukulele - Hollywood<br />
The Barbwires - Sweden<br />
If there ever was a genre with new bands filed under<br />
“Soundtracks from 60´s” then The Barbwires sure could<br />
be found there. If you add some of Jack Nitzsche and John<br />
Barry’s magnificent sounds together with a shredding Fender<br />
stratocaster and a pumping beat you´ll get the picture. For<br />
17 years The Barbwires have been giving their audiences the<br />
experience of a full orchestra with only a 3 person band! How<br />
do they do it?<br />
Following the masters of the past...The Barbwires tour with<br />
a reel-to-reel tape machine. The band improvises around the<br />
basic structure.<br />

Having traveled the world on a uke and song, the King can attest that <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong><br />
is the best. We are honored to have the King back as our official <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong><br />
Emcee for the weekend.<br />

fish for the Orange County Fair, as well as “I Don’t Eat Poop,” a song written for<br />

The Love Me Nots - Phoenix<br />
The Love Me Nots are rooted in fuzz-and-Farfisa garage and punk. The quartet<br />
formed in Phoenix in 2006 and feature the purrs and howls of singer-organist<br />
Nicole Laurenne, the raunchy guitar work of Michael Johnny Walker, rock-solid<br />
bass lines and vocal harmonies by Sophie O, and the furious pounding of<br />
drummer Jay Lien. The DIY band has released four full-length albums, all<br />
produced in Detroit by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Electric Six, Dirtbombs). The<br />
band is in regular rotation on XM/Sirius, has charted in the CMJ Top 100, has<br />
been featured on syndicated radio, television, and notable compilations, and<br />

The Untouchables - Los Angeles<br />
The Untouchables are a soul/mod revival band formed in 1981<br />
as part of the same wave of American Ska that spawned No<br />
Doubt. After a shaky start playing at parties, the integrated<br />
septet were eventually booked at the O.N. Klub (known as the<br />
On to regulars). The band had guaranteed the club that they<br />
would pack the venue, and they did not disappoint. In middle<br />
of that year, they released their first 7” single, copies of which<br />
were snapped up by local mods. The Untouchables originally<br />
played covers such as “We Ain’t Got Nothing Yet” (Blues<br />
Magoos), “Whatcha Gonna Do About It” (Small Faces) and<br />
“(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” (Monkees) in addition to their<br />
own songs. Late in 1982, the band began a stint as the house<br />
band at the Roxy Theatre. Terry Ellsworth left the band in the<br />
summer of 1983, at the height of the California mod revival.<br />
Their second single, “The General,” became a minor local hit,<br />
despite poor distribution. The band performed “The General”<br />
in the 1984 comedy The Party Animal, and they appeared as a scooter gang in the movie Repo Man. In early<br />
1984, they were signed to Stiff Records. The band also appeared in the 1984 film Surf II, performing “Dance<br />
Beat”, and 1987’s No Man’s Land, performing “What’s Gone Wrong”.<br />

their culty, character driven act.<br />

guitar, pulsating theater organ, lilting Hawaiian steel guitar,<br />
bongos, congas, and an arsenal of exotic perucssion from<br />
around the world, all set against the sounds of the ocean and<br />
jungle. The <strong>Tiki</strong>ayki Orchestra transports the audience to a<br />
place and time when Cantonese food was “exotic cuisine” and<br />
people escaped the mundane with the aid of strong, sweet<br />
rum-based cocktails served in tiki mugs with little colorful<br />
umbrellas... i.e. Waikiki in 1955. Evoking the sprit of past<br />
masters such as Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter, the <strong>Tiki</strong>yaki Orchestra performs original material<br />
from their CD “StereoExotique’, written by award winning composer and band leader Jim Bacchi, as well as classic<br />
of Exotica, traditional Hawaiian, lounge, surf, spy jazz and cocktail genres.<br />

Thee Swank Bastards - Las Vegas<br />
Thee Swank Bastards have definitely been on hand to rev it<br />

narrow ties, black suits; countered with riveting instrumentals<br />
that combine danceable rhythms, Eric Schauer’s syncopated drum<br />
patterns, Shaun Coleman’s propulsive bass lines, and best of all -<br />
the serpentine guitar licks of Jesse Del Quadro, create a musical<br />
sensibility that is at once deft and daring. In the end, their genius<br />
speaks for itself. They manage to take the period fetishism of oldschool<br />
surf music and distill it with a modern twist that makes<br />
them instantly melodic and highly memorable.<br />

on, and his work blurs the line between art and craft, as he attempts to keep up with the visions in his feverish<br />
brain, using whatever media is at hand, from paint, colored pencils, resin and automobile upholstery to cookie<br />
dough and ceramics. October has exhibited in galleries across the country.<br />

share our treasures. Come with us, relive the rise and fall of polynesian pop. See the<br />
places and the people. Hear the stories from eye witnesses and real tiki aficionados<br />
like Martin Denny, Leroy Schmaltz & Bob van Oosting, Eric Askew, the Bali Hai Boys,<br />
Sven Kirsten, Otto von Stroheim, Shag, Bosko, Beachbum Berry, King Kukulele and<br />
many more. The DVD OF TIKI, Vol. I “Paradise Lost” explores the origins of the myth<br />
of the Souths Seas paradise and follows a nation on their transition from the puritan<br />
1950s to the sexual revolution of the 70s. The Sixties, the heyday of <strong>Tiki</strong> offered wild<br />
island lifestyle with exotic sounds and intoxicating concoctions without endangering<br />
the given moral and social rules at that time<br />

Jochen Hirschfeld Jochen Hirschfeld spent<br />
his childhood in South America; in the late<br />
70s in Quito, Ecuador, the local TV station<br />
aired black and white adventure movies<br />
from the US, along with all kinds of stuff<br />
from the 50s and 60s. He grew up with<br />
the sound and vision of the Rat Pack on a<br />
South American adventure holiday. As soon<br />
as he switched off the TV to play outside,<br />
the adventure just seamlessly continued in<br />
the exciting surroundings of Quito. His family<br />
returned to cold Germany in the 80s and<br />
this little explorer heart fell into shock. The<br />
only cure: Filmmaking, Storytelling...and <strong>Tiki</strong>.

down the West coast, taken as early as 1992 to the 2000s. If you miss the<br />

Sven also advises on new <strong>Tiki</strong> restaurants being built, curates <strong>Tiki</strong> exhibitions, and designs <strong>Tiki</strong> mugs. He was<br />

Bosko, From growing up in the epicenter of America’s <strong>Tiki</strong> movement that was 1960s Los Angeles ... to <strong>Tiki</strong>’s dark<br />
days in the eighties when all had forgotten the movement, Bosko became the first to bring back the lost art of<br />
<strong>Tiki</strong> carving and producing <strong>Tiki</strong> mugs, eventually designing the first new <strong>Tiki</strong> bar in the U.S. after <strong>Tiki</strong>’s downfall,<br />
Taboo Cove in Las Vegas... right up to the vibrant Polynesian Pop scene of today. <strong>Tiki</strong> Modern author Sven Kirsten<br />
calls Bosko “The Pioneer of the <strong>Tiki</strong> Revival.”<br />

live bands, dj’s, film directors, burlesque dancers and educators throughout the weekend<br />
and especially to our Master of Ceremonies King Kukulele. Wowza to our 80+ vendors, Artist Alley<br />
and the 20 Artists in the <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong> 2012 Art Show. To all of our sponsors for helping to make Mission:<br />
TO12 possible; Appleton Estate Rum for hosting opening night party at The Bali Hai and Java<br />
Monster for adding Energy to the Car Show. Of course the <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong> Weekender only works due to<br />
our relationships with The Crowne Plaza Staff: Steve, Kirk, Jim, Anna, Thomas, and Larry and Grant<br />
from The Bai Hai... THANK YOU for letting us host <strong>Tiki</strong> <strong>Oasis</strong> at your fine establishments! Super<br />
friends who are part of our extended family: Sister Sonia, Brian Holiday, Marty Step, & John and<br />
Tricia. Above all we want to thank our sons Vander and Dashiell who put up with two parents who<br />
have this wacky idea to throw a party for a few thousand people each year.<br />
