Artist History
Tiki Bongo was born in 1961. They record everything atThe Cool Room, a dinky, laid back recording studio/barin beautiful San Antonio, Texas. The songs are concieved on an acoustic guitar, looselyrecorded on a Tascm 4-track, and then later brought to lifevia Mitchell Webb at the Cool Room. Live appearances are rareand sporadic and a good time is usually had by all. Think of the4 track stuff as an audio diary... |
