Date: August 22nd 2009
Adventures in Paradise, the debut album by The WAITIKI 7 was officially released on Tuesday and already there's been terrific buzz about it!
Mother Jones magazine praises our album for its "virtuoso musicianship" and likens its debut to "the golden age of exotica, when lounge-music giants like Martin Denny walked the Earth"...
Alarm magazine rated it as one of This Week's Best Albums! Scott Merrow writes, "The Waitiki 7 balances a thematic tribute to Martin Denny and musical stars of yore with piano-driven Latin sounds, modern jazz, lounge, and film motifs ..."
Additionally it's being played, programmed, and added by radio stations across North America!

Our friends at the stellar mixology pad DRINK (348 Congress St., Boston, MA) are helping us celebrate the release of our new CD. This Sunday, 8/23, DRINK will be serving tiki cocktails off the famed WAITIKI International Drink Menu, as well as spinning choice hits of classic and modern exotica. The party starts at 4 p.m.
As a ‘thank you’ to those who purchase (or have already bought) copies of the CD, bar manager John Gertsen will serve a specially-concocted “Adventures in Paradise” punch. This is a no-host event.
