The WAITIKI 7: New Sounds of Exotica

Last Saturday, following a taping for Armchair Travelling’s DVD of TIKI we found ourselves sitting in 5 hours of NJ traffic thanks to some bonehead construction just a half mile from WFMU. We never thought we’d make it to the station. But when we did, the time was ripe for us to play some ultra slick live exotica.

If you missed last week’s broadcast of our live performance for WFMU, you can catch it again today! It airs at 6 PM. Tune into WFMU on the ray-dee-oh or online at wfmu.org. Or, if you really can’t make it, check it out later: The show will be permanently archived online a few hours after it airs.

Our thanks to Gaylord Fields and Glenn Luttmann for making this show possible.

P.S.: We followed up our WFMU show with a trip to Sabor Peru in Rutherford, NJ. That place was incredible… man, the tako ceviche… you should check it out if you’re ever in the area!

A Tropical Expedition With the Waitiki 7: Landlubber’s Edition

On Sunday, Sept. 20, this radio host broadcast a special program featuring two hours of exotica — including a live performance by the Waitiki 7 — from a boat! However, being that WFMU doesn’t quite have the pirate broadcast transmission capabilities of Radio Luxembourg, the signal was less than ship-shape. Therefore, to appease Poseidon, the entire show, from stem to stern, will be rebroadcast for your listening pleasure. So if you had already put your Hawaiian shirt or muumuu on mothballs and had packed away the Mai Tai mix now that summer’s over, here’s a second chance to embark on that adventure to paradise.
