FLASHBACK: Green Day in Hawaii

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…
