Believe it or not, Bobble Tiki even shares a few things in common with Tacoma band Bodybox, who will perform at The New Frontier Lounge Saturday. What does Bobble Tiki have in common with Bodybox, you may ask? Let's start with the things Bodybox and Bobble Tiki DON'T have in common. For starters, and most obvious, Bodybox is a three-piece rock band from T-Town made up of singer and guitarist Kurt Lindsay, drummer Belal Anwar and bassist Kevin De Flitch. As you well know, Bobble Tiki is simply an island-themed souvenir with a drinking problem and a job in journalism he probably doesn't deserve. Secondly, Bodybox obviously has motivation and drive: a band for only a year and a half, in January Bodybox celebrated the release a full length CD - 11 whole songs! Bobble Tiki probably hasn't written 11 decent sentences in the last decade, and he sure as hell hasn't been too concerned with sharpening his craft. Hell, not when The Biggest Loser is on!
