Warped Tour 2008

When I heard about the old-school stage at the Warped Tour, and saw the line-up for the last day of the tour, I made plans to get to LA to see some great bands and say hello to some old friends. It was fun. I got burnt to a crisp, the day went by really quickly which meant we didn't get to see nearly as many bands as we'd hoped, but the fine folks at Goldenvoice hooked me up with a pair of VIP wristbands and Marina managed to snap a few pics, so for those of you that couldn't make it, here's a few of her favorites… starting with some random shots:

We of course got to see lots of other bands…
We Are Kings, The Action Design, Gym Class Heroes, Street Dogs, etc…
but we just didn't get any good pictures of those bands, sorry.

Warped Tour is always a massive, crazy day, but it was a good time for an old fart like me.

Sadly it hasn't been to Hawaii in a very long time and will likely never return,
so next summer, if you like the line-up, take a trip to the West Coast!!

Bayfest 2008

Marina had a chance to go and check out Bayfest (the annual event at Kaneohe Marina corps base) up close and snapped a few pictures of the bands LIVE and EVERCLEAR performing on stage. Enjoy…

GUTTERMOUTH

Got a band? Want to open for Guttermouth in Hawaii this October?

We’re co-presenting the return of Guttermouth in late October 2008,
and some opening act spots are available in Hilo and Honolulu…

If interested, write to GuttermouthHawaii@yahoo.com for more information!

ALOHA

LEFT ALONE in Hawaii

Left Alone is a great band on Tim Armstrong’s Hellcat Records…
They’ve now been to Hawaii twice and put on some excellent shows each time. If you missed them, kick yourself right now.

Like I am for losing the pictures from their recent visit to Kainoa’s and Anna Bannana’s…

If they turn up, we’ll post ’em!
