So...there's a huge annual Tiki art show, fresh, authentic Mexican street food, tons of Tiki vendors selling handcrafted decor and other cool products, the best Tropical cocktails in town, all at Los Angeles's oldest Tiki Bar, the Tonga Hut, on a mellow Sunday afternoon. But what else...the debut performance of The New Caledonians!!
Who are The New Caledonians? No one knows for sure...it's a rag-tag brotherhood of musical outcasts assembled in the deepest recesses of a mysterious French penal colony on the remote island of New Caledonia. Imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit after being washed ashore from a horrendous boating accident involving a giant squid, The New Caledonians all awoke simultaneously after being pronounced dead in the prison infirmary. Considered a miracle, they immediately drew the attention of the resident prison guru and musical genius, the Indian mystic Baba Baksheesh, who it was thought had died from eating bad pork decades earlier. Baba took the three under his wing and proceeded to teach them the secrets of the universe and how to play mysterious, exotic melodies on their crappy prison instruments. Baba had a limited supply of scratchy vinyl to use as instruction tools at the prison, all washed ashore on the island from a container ship that departed from San Francisco in 1968.
What could this possibly sound like? Show up at the Tonga Hut on March 23 to find out!

Are you guys really hijacking a new band's first thread and show announcement with food talk and Simpson's references?
Let's get this thread back on track. I, for one, am stoked for this show and am wiggling my schedule around so I can make it. I'm curious to hear the sounds that can come from such an introduction!
