Tikiyaki & the Hawaiiana Brass - Weekend In Waikiki (LP - Pistachio Edtion) Release Date: May 15, 2026 11 Songs of pure lounge bliss. The debut full length LP by Tikiyaki & the Hawaiiana Brass, Weekend in Waikiki” is a fresh chapter in the Tikiyaki sound — where classic exotica meets vibrant, brass-driven 1960’s lounge and AM Radio Pop. The Hawaiiana Brass takes the Tikiyaki sound into a super-fun, groovy, mid-60s post-exotica sound, inspired by Herb Alpert, Henry Mancini and TV, film theme and soundtrack music of the era. With a 3-piece horn section taking the lead, the sound is fun, swingin’, upbeat, and, at times, regal. Think of your favorite TV show themes, add a little exotica flavor and a whole lot of upbeat mid-century pop into the mix, and you get the idea. All this, wrapped in stunning original artwork by SHAG. Full album with limited edition colored vinyl (2 variants in this first pressing) and a collectible gatefold featuring SHAG’s iconic art. For fans of: Martin Denny, The Ventures, Les Baxter, Ixtahuele, Don Tiki.
