KAW TIKIS

The electrifying, awesome, and familiar sounds you remember from a different time. Twang, reverb, and fuzz with indelible melodies and driving, swinging rhythms. Kaw Tikis deliver the guitar-driven surf rock songs from the late 1950's and early 1960's with a focus on the classic styling of the era. Take a step back in time with tunes from The Ventures, The Shadows, The Pyramids, Duane Eddy, The Lively Ones , and the like.

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 these tunes in 2023 on their first recording, with a promise of more to come.
