I used to wile away the days With skies so grey I never thought that any good Would ever come my way I’d gather up my dreams And pack them all away With my dresses and my mem’ries And the things I had to say I know, I know I know I could be free If I had something or someone who would think to carry me I shut the door, turn on the tube, and lift my cares away I’ve got my free colour TV A knight in shining armour come to rescue me Free, colour TV My technicolor company that let’s me be Feeling free, I’ve got my colour TV right here beside me on My bed night stand Got the whole world on remote At my command My friends, my family They’re all are on TV A better place to live As anyone can see I know I know I know I can’t be swayed Because it’s here in my motel room’s where I’m living out my days Behind the door, I live for more My cares just drift away I’ve got my free colour TV My knight in shining armour come to rescue me Free, colour TV A technicolor fantasy that’s real to me Feeling free, I’ve got my colour TV A house on a prairie A man who’s a bat A furry little alien who really loves cats An island of strangers from a ship lost on the sea An aging attorney whose mother’s a car A genie, a witch, a monk from afar A set of three daughters, and a set of three sons for me…. All on my free colour TV My knight in shining armour come to rescue me Free colour TV An existential gentleman who’ll marry me Feeling free, I’ve got my colour TV Feeding me I’ve got my colour TV Feeling free, right next to me I’ve got my real life fantasy Feeling free, I’ve got my colour TV

about

Join us at the sun bleached Tiki Motel where love, suspicion and vibes intersect. Our EP of swamp-pop, pop-noir, alternative music and Swamp Blues Rock. Our retro-futuristic style of blending American genre music with retro-synth and new-wave songwriting.

Ecstatic to finally release ‘Tiki Motel 2’ the follow-up to our overachieving lofi-EP ‘‘555 Tiki Motel’ that received significant 2021 airplay on 14 Canadian radio stations and charted on CFUV and CFBX.

One of Vancouver Island's premier vocalists and longtime collaborator Hilary Beckett returns as a featured artist. Excellent song writing contributions by Sugar Parks, Evert Pater and Geoff Mason on the three leading tracks. Special thanks for Steve Greene of Detroit's Battlechamber for mixing and mastering and performing some vibraphone on 'Hourly Rates'
