Pass the Tiki Torch
Sunday (March 14), 8pm, South Shore Tiki Lounge
We are not a pagan, tribal community that sends offerings up to the gods during Friday night fire-lit dance rituals, while wearing carved masks and drinking herbal concoctions that cause transcendental experiences. But maybe we should be. Some tribal-esque entertainment might be just the trick to mix up the usual Maui nightlife, and nothing bespeaks tribal like the tiki. The South Shore Tiki Lounge is throwing together a tiki-inspired art show and dance party (launching a Kihei Youth Center-benefiting art exhibit, running through May). The party opens to the exotica tunes of DJ Cudra Clover, and will wrap up with DJ Joey the Wrench. As for the art, don’t expect any boring paintings of a majestic sunset over a calm ocean on this night. Work by 14 provocative artists sets the scene, including a colorful, daring painting titled “Kong Tiki” by Ron Pitts of Eh Brah! fame, as well as an actual tiki carving called “Von Krampus” by Scott Johnson. Such fun and unique creations are just right to shake up the art and entertainment scene—and set the tone for your best spring break yet. No cover. 874-6444, southshoretikilounge.com. [SB]
