Rising from the ashes of the defunct Soul Turtle came Tawali, the Cherokee word for punk. Based in San Antonio, TX the group played 4 to 5 gigs a week in the area. They rooted themselves in the local coffee houses until outgrowing these venues. Zoey's coffee house asked Tawali not to come back, when their last gig produced broken windows, burned furniture, holes in the wooden floor, 400 kids taking over the place and not much coffee sold. Everybody paid the cover. Jim Beal of the San Antonio Express News described Tawalis sound as eclectic, a mixture of funk/ punk/ blues/ hip-hop/ reggae/ rock/ and acid-jazz. I think it was mostly the latter. This is a Tawali tribute site created by E-TIP Records . Music will follow; I have one possibly decent copy of the song Roaches to mix down. Tawali created 2 albums, Meswitchu, and The PoPos of Sound. If you have either album please contact E-TIP Records site. Please see E-TIP Records for other music. See John Lugo in the bands Soul Turtle , Bucketfunk , and his most recent endeavor MuscleMouth . Beej Schuler went on to play in the band Soda Pop Spys . Jack Sample and Travis Williams can be found on myspace. If you were a member of Tawali, contact this site and it will be updated.
