Who, in your opinion, are the really good Hawaiian and swing/tiki lounge artists, old and new?   I'm always looking for a new listen.    I have Hawaiian All-Stars, and Iz on my playlist, but I'd love something that really makes you want to break out your best Shaheen dress and sip a drink with an umbrella.   And flirt heavily.

I actually have a playlist somewhere, there's this old podcast called Vegas Vic's, he plays/played a bunch of artists old and new.

I have a few suggestions. I have these in my iTunes! They are either surf music or exotica or kind of rockabilly. I've heard some of these here in the Los Angeles Tiki scene. Tikiyaki Orchestra, Thee Swank Bastards, Devil Doll, Los Straitjackets. And then there is Meshugga Beach Party and they are a Jewish Surf band. Let me know what you think of these bands. 

Martini Kings. There is also a great CD called Betty Page Jungle Girl that has some great Exotica on it

Don Ho

The Brothers Cazimero

Ray Kane

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Bruddah Iz) (One of my most favorite tunes is "Henehene Kou 'Aka")<----very flirty imo ;)

Gabby Pahinui

These are some of the most popular Hawaiian artists....if you are looking for something with a heavier Polynesian beat, try searching Tahitian, Samoan and Tongan artists.... :)
