Southern Culture on the Skids
Southern Culture On The Skids has been spreading the rock and roll gospel since since they formed in Chapel Hill, NC in 1983. Guitarist/singer Rick Miller, drummer Dave Hartman and bassist/singer/heartbreaker Mary Huff, play a greasy mix of surf, rockabilly, R&B and country-fried garage with a side of psych, all the while driving fans into ecstatic, sweat-drenched paroxysms of joy. It’s a musical gumbo Miller calls, “Americana from the wrong side of the tracks.“ The band has been prolific and ubiquitous for over thirty years, touring everywhere from the North Carolina Prison System to Mt. Fuji, Japan and delivering what Rolling Stone calls “a hell raising rock and roll party.“

WAITIKI
Waitiki, the only exotica band to hold the FDA credential Generally Recognized as Safe, spins back to Earth from the orbit of Okonkuluku. Their ship, piloted by the Space Kadet, and captained by their meaty vegan The Mayor of Exotica, will bring the sounds of classic Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and your favorite originals. Chow down with some charred mammal flesh, rendezvous with the band, and enjoy the new sounds of exotica!

Direct from the shores of the Hudson River, the Swingin’ Palms are a brand-new band blending the most rousing aspects of vintage Hawaiian, Exotica, and Surf music. Led by Graham Tichy on Hawaiian steel guitar and Don Young on electro-Spanish guitar, the Swingin’ Palms present a mix of original music, Hapa Haole rarities, and forgotten gems reconceived in a style that’s both authentic and fresh.

Fuad and the Feztones
Billing themselves as ‘Egypt’s hardest working party band’, Fuad and the Feztones have been Montreal’s number one Frat Rock / 60’s R&B combo for years. With two internationally released records (Valley of the Kings and Beeramid) and a massive repertoire of catchy twist tunes, Fuad and the Feztones have torn up nightclubs from Canada to Europe with their sax and organ-driven rave-ups …all the while sporting matching collegiate cardigans and exotic middle-eastern fezzes! Picture Animal House meets I Dream of Jeannie!
A word of warning, however: a Feztones set may cause you to twist so hard you might have to visit a CAIRO-practor.

DJ Gaylord Fields
Gaylord Fields has hosted an eclectic radio program on Jersey City, NJ freeform station WFMU for more than 25 years, but as a live DJ he takes on a different persona. Formerly a frequent guest at the In Hi-Fi lounge series in the Manhattan club Bar d’O and one of the rotating guest DJs for Quiet City: Radio in Hi-Fi on LuxuriaMusic.com, he can in recent years be found poolside spinning lounge/exotica/easy listening/bossa nova/go-go at events such as Tiki Oasis— and now at his beloved Ohana. Equally adept at ’60s soul, twist, surf, beat, and girl group tunes, Gaylord also knows the secret to a perfectly mixed Shirley Temple (more Shirley, less Temple).
