Seeking: Distribution
Style: Americana, Island Country Blues Rock
Forget about troubling images of white supremacists marching with tiki torches. The Tiki Cowboys blend island culture with rootsy Americana and blues rock to great effect. “Tiki Cowboys latest album OYSTER features ten new tracks of instrumentals and re-mixes of previously released recordings from the Tiki Cowboys music catalog,” a statement reads. For those of us new to the band, that’s largely academic, though it does make us curious about the original versions. What we do on tunes such as “Hippo Hop” and “Swizzle Sticks (Oyster Mix)” is mood-inducing, hip-swaying music, played by clearly talented musicians.
