The late Warren Zevon could hardly have predicted the profound effect he would have on generations of Tiki-enthusiasts when first penned the line: "I saw a werewolf drinking a piƱa colada at Trader Vic's, his hair was perfect!"
And yet 30 years later that song is still electrifying people whose synapses have been dulled by the gentle susurrations of Jamaican rum burning its way through their coconut-thick skulls... especially when the song is being performed by the mighty Tongo Hiti!
Over the course of four hours (8pm to Midnight) Tongo Hiti (Big Mike Geier, Kevin Leahy, RL Martin, Kris Dale, and Tim DeLaney) move their guests from the gentle hip-swaying shores of a dream-away Hawaii to an alternate dimension where Johnny Cash and Pete Townshend get together with Metallica to peep underneath Celine Dion's petticoat. If you've never seen Tongo Hiti (http://tongohiti.com/) in action, then get yourself down to Trader Vic's on a Thursday evening... see you there?
