Here are Marina's photos from The Vandals shows…
Thanks again to the people that helped packed the clubs each night.
…and of course The Vandals, one of my all-time favorite bands!!
It was a GREAT way to celebrate 15 years of Hawaiian Express / 808shows!
There's even a pic of my 3 oldest boys with Dusty Watson (The Queers, Agent Orange, and more)
and another with Warren, Dave, my oldest, my youngest, and me (slightly drunk). Good times.

Okay, okay, I know I have yet to get those 2009 Warped Tour photos up on here… but I will, I promise!
Just need to get them from Marina and we've been crazy busy.
But… Warped Tour 2010 is well on it's way to being finalized. In fact, tickets have already gone on sale.
This year I'm going to try and catch a Northern California date… June 26th.
It's got a lot of my friends playing and a line-up that's growing stronger by the day…
Book a flight now and don't miss out!!
While I'm here… check out a new site I'm involved with: ChargedGBH.com
(and stay tuned for 808photovault.com as well)
If it's been a while, so look again at our set of pics from Warped Tour 2008. All photos by Marina.
...and scroll down to see our collection from Warped Tour 2009. Photos below taken by Marina and Jason.

Well… if you got my recent newsletter then you know what I'm talking about next, but the
early feedback strongly supports the creation of a central website that features local
photographers and Hawaii concerts… now I'm really excited.
Stay tuned for more details, but for now, here's a link to some shots of a few local
bands as well as the band CDC, during their trip to Hawaii last year.
CLICK HERE to jump to the CDC show pics. (Mahalo Alex!)
More news on this new site down the road.

Want to trade your time, energy, and computer skills?? For a long time now I have wanted to digitize the Hawaiian Express Records catalog and make it available for sale by donation… it's just never happened with 4 kids and a day job.
The Star-Bulletin was nice enough to do a feature article on my activities over the last 15 years, and it came up in our discussion, so why don't I make it formal!
If you'd like to trade for some merchandise, let me know!
I'm looking for someone that could help turn approx. 100 CD's into mp3's… and
If that same person could also help with scanning some old photos, I'd be really stoked!
I can't offer cash, but if you're a fan of local 'alternative' music, I have a lot of other stuff you might like. CD's, vinyl records, DVD's, rare posters, a concert ticket every now and then… etc.
Send an email to hwnexp@aol.com
My lovely and talented wife Marina takes most of the photos for this blog, but we like it when other photographers send us stuff too! Here's a sample of some that we recommend at the moment. (Click on the Links to see more)

Mahalo for permission to share all these!
Mahalo! The 15th Anniversary shows were both packed & I had a great time not actually running things (teamed up with the guys from Underworld Events).
Marina took some photos of The Vandals (from both islands) and they will be up soon!!
If anyone else has some… want me to post a few?
I'm working on a reunion show with The Pettyfords.

Hawaiian Express is turning 15 years old this month…
As a result of some interview requests, I dug through some old photos.
Here’s a set of pics from the two times that Green Day has come to Hawaii for shows…
Grapefruit opened both times, and became good friends with the band.
In fact, Grapefruit and I spent a day at Billie Joe’s house in Berkeley while on tour.
Here’s a few of the pics (that I took) and scanned into the computer today!
The shots on stage are from Feb. 1996 @ Richardson Field.
(Grapefruit, Zoinks!, and Green Day all played that show)
The shots on the grass are backstage at UH in 1998.
Green Day, Grapefruit, and actor Matthew Fox!
and there’s one shot of the day we took Billie Joe surfing…
