KAW TIKIS
KAW TIKIS
A sonic tapestry of Surf, R&B, Spaghetti Western, and Honky-Tonk, accented with shards of Punk, the glitter of Rock&Roll and flakes of AM gold, instrumental in nature but occasionally peppered with bursts of primitive lyrical shouting.
In 2018, Kaw Tikis emerged from a Kansas river sandbar with a mission to deliver high-quality guitar instrumentals with vintage flair. With their curious names, purple velour suits, “continental” ties, and a frontman who only seemed to speak in French, they arrived on the scene as Men of Mystery...
When founding member Johnny Monoprix moved on to more mature pursuits, Donald “Mac” Ronald was there to move the group forward with his handmade guitars and snappy instrumentals. They released their debut self-titled CD in 2023, a sophomore CD, Amerikawna, in 2025, and a promise of more to come.
