Double Crown On The Rocks Podcast #19 – From The Shores Of Hawaii

Double Crown Records — Thu, 26 May 2011 05:47:27 +0000

Hot on the heels of Double Crown on the Rocks #18, we’ve got a brand new show, dedicated to songs recorded in, or inspired by, Hawaii (more specifically, Oahu). My family and I took our first trip to Hawaii a few months ago, and before leaving I put together an iPod playlist consisting entirely of songs recorded on the island of Oahu, or with titles of landmarks, beaches, surfing spots and towns on the island. It was a large playlist, but I’ve whittled it down to 21 great songs – hope you enjoy the show!

Double Crown On The Rocks Podcast – New Show (#18)

Double Crown Records — Wed, 11 May 2011 05:35:02 +0000

We have started up our Double Crown On The Rocks podcast again, with new equipment, which will hopefully make it more listenable than before. Since it’s coming from Double Crown, shows will definitely feature lots of great surf and instrumental rock n’ roll (including new, rare and unreleased songs). Occasionally we’ll branch out though – as much as we love surf rock, we also dig rockabilly, exotica, garage rock and all sorts of stuff from the 50’s and 60’s.

We did about 17 shows 5 years ago, but to be absolutely honest, they sucked. Musicwise they were great, but I was never happy with my recording set up and they’re just hard to listen to. Please don’t ask for these earlier shows – if you have them, great, please enjoy them, but we don’t plan on making those available again.

On this show we play songs by The Kilaueas, The Anacondas, The Space Rangers, The Kaiser, Fabienne Delsol, The Original Surfaris and more. Hope you enjoy the show, and let us know what you think in the comments, or via e-mail to: records@dblcrown.com

Hukilau Tiki Festival 10th Anniversary – June 9-12, 2011

Double Crown Records — Thu, 05 May 2011 05:00:42 +0000

The Hukilau Tiki Festival is back again this year for their 10th anniversary! Here is the scoop on this year’s festival:

Entice your senses with the alluring vibe of the Polynesian islands and the world of Tikiphiles while sipping potent potions this summer during the 10-year Anniversary of The Hukilau! The East coast’s largest Tiki and Polynesian Pop gathering will also be honoring the 55-year Anniversary of the historic Mai-Kai Restaurant, one of the remaining Polynesian Tiki treasures in North America.

A Hukilau, which is a traditional Hawaiian festival held in fishing villages of old, features a large net cast into the sea where villagers herd the fish and slowly pull the net to the shore. The feast that follows emphasizes the spirit of family and community or ohana. The Hukilau is our mainland celebration where we bring fans of Tiki, Retro and Pop culture from all over the world for an unforgettable weekend.

“The Hukilau’s partnership with the Mai-Kai, the world famous Polynesian-themed restaurant, has definitely been a key to our success and has set us apart from other events,” explains The Hukilau Founder and Producer Christie J. White. “Not only do attendees have the opportunity to enjoy the weekend with other Tiki/mid-century/vintage lovers, they also have the added benefit of a classic experience at this mid-century icon — complete with an amazing floor show, tropical gardens and a vintage drink menu that features hundreds of cocktails from Tiki’s history! There’s no other place like it in the world!”

White’s (aka Tiki Kiliki) Polynesian passion began after seeing a Tiki mug in a shop as a child and has continued to embrace Polynesian Pop with her Tiki gala in Fort Lauderdale.

This year’s hula hoopla will include emcees King Kukulele and “Crazy” Al Evans pumping up and entertaining audiences, sampling Tiki cocktails during The Hukilau room crawl, the Harold Golen Gallery’s “Fine Art Tiki Show,” meeting artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily and shopping galore!

Encounter a time capsule of memories and strong libations during fact-filled symposiums by mixologist and author Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and The Rum Pack, Vintage Roadside’s “Beautiful Girls that Live like Fish!: The Story of Aquarama, the World-Famous Mermaid Attraction” and Paul Roe’s “Hawaii – Sailors, Sex and the Birth of Old School Tattoos.”

Be amazed and tantalized by Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid, shimmy and shake to the sounds of The Tikiyaki Orchestra from Los Angeles, The Intoxicators! from Tallahassee, Grinder Nova from Atlanta, The Exotics from Milwaukee, The Fisherman from New York City and DJs spinning the tropical beats!

Experience an exotic escape during The Hukilau, June 9-12, 2011 at the Bahia Cabana, Bahia Mar and the Mai-Kai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Festival admission prices are $25-$110. For more information, visit:

Sound Opinions Christmas Spectacular

Double Crown Records — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:38:34 +0000

If you are a collector of obscure holiday music, you probably already recognize the name of Andy Cirzan. He is an avid collector of Christmas and holiday music, and each year he puts together an unbeatable compilation of obscure holiday tunes that it’d probably take you or I years to put together (even in the internet age). His 2009 compilation is now available online, and as an added bonus, you can hear him on the current Sound Opinions podcast.

Cool Album Cover Art At LP Cover Lover

Double Crown Records — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:53:37 +0000

I just stumbled upon a cool album cover site called LP Cover Lover – because collecting vinyl is just as much about the cover art as the music (in my opinion). The site has loads of cool covers from all eras and all genres of music – it’s well worth checking out! Of special interest to most of us is their surf music section.

Spaced Out: The Final Frontier in Album Covers at the EMP/Seattle

Double Crown Records — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:37:54 +0000

Seattle’s just 80 miles from where I live, but it took someone from California (my buddy Otto from Tiki News) to tell me about an exhibit going on at the Experience Music Project. I have to admit, I haven’t been to the EMP yet, but I think this new exhibit is just what I need to get me to go (I’m sorry, but I’m just not a big Jimi Hendrix/classic rock fan, which is what I think the EMP primarily features – I could be wrong though…).

The new exhibit is Spaced Out: The Final Frontier in Album Covers and features a gallery of 117 space themed album covers from the 40′s through the 60′s. I’m sure I have a few of these in my collection, but it’d be cool to see some covers for albums I don’t have, plus hopefully they have a little background on the recording artists, as well as the artists that designed the covers. The exhibit’s running for a few more months, so I really don’t have any excuse not to go, and if I do make it I’ll write about it here.
