FLASHBACK: Green Day in Hawaii

Posted on by

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…

The Casualties – 2009

Posted on by

A few years ago, I had The Casualties in town for a Wednesday night show at Anna Bannana’s. Over 300 people showed up! We tried a new (larger) venue this time around and had another great show. Chris from Photocat808.com was kind enough to share his photos from 4play Niteclub in Aiea.

The A.K.A.S are coming! The A.K.A.S are coming!!

Yes, The A.K.A.S (are everywhere!) and they are coming to Hawaii for 3 shows in late August!

Hawaii’s own Michael Camino of the Hell Caminos has joined their ranks and they have been spending the summer on the 15th Vans Warped Tour.  When it’s over, they are flying to Hawaii to relax, and perform for us as well…

Aug 27 – Wailuku, Maui // Aug. 28 – Haleiwa // Aug. 29 – Honolulu

For now, here’s a few pictures taken at their shows and a sampling of photos from Mike’s twitter page:

Screeching Weasel / Riverdales show in L.A.

Posted on by

Ben Weasel, Danny Vapid, and others got together recently to do a couple shows in L.A.
They played songs by Screeching Weasel, The Riverdales, and Ben’s solo albums.

Both shows sold out and I managed to get over there with the wife and kids to see a few friends and catch the second show.

Here’s a few photos from that really fun night:

…and before we got to The Knitting Factory, we stopped in at an art gallery
to catch an acoustic set with Kevin Seconds of the infamous 7Seconds.
Here’s a few pics from my phone!

CHIODOS (03.04.09)

Photos from their Hawaii debut:   Thanks for coming…  Sorry about the ending.
The band and I talked about getting them back here in the very near future.
I’ll add information to 808shows.com whenever I have details to share.

NOFX @ The Cellar 744 — LAHAINA, MAUI

Posted on by

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these guys for a very long time, and they’re always GREAT.
I gave Mike & Hefe a ride from KTUH to Radio Free Hawaii WAY back in the day (for an interview)
and have set up a bunch of shows for Me First and the Gimme Gimmes over the years as well.

Anyway… These are shots from the second of two sold out shows on Maui this past January.
(It was also Fat Mike’s Birthday)

 

D.I. – DVD Shoot (Friday)

Posted on by

Here’s a group of shots from the first night of D.I.’s most recent trip to Hawaii.  Their set featured a version of “Voices” (off the new album) with Ross from G.B.H. on Bass, as well as a visit from pro-skateboarder Danny Way… not to mention a good turnout from Hawaii’s BEST, punk rock music fans!   MAHALO.

Guttermouth Photos

It was a lot of fun having Guttrmouth back in town. Three shows on two islands this time… Below are some photos from the all ages event at Anna Bannana’s. (6 of Guttermouth, 2 of Corrupt Absolute, and then 4 of The Substitoots)

LEFT ALONE UPDATE

Posted on by

Well, a lot has changed since the last Left Alone post… (see below)

Hawaii’s Nick Danger went on tour with The Hell Caminos, and Elvis from Left Alone was on tour with The Unseen, so Kat from Hellcat Records’ Left Alone used the time to come over to Hawaii in order lend a hand to Black Square (temporarily taking Nick’s place).  With Kat already here, and Elvis ending his run with The Unseen, the other members of Left Alone re-united with Kat in Hawaii for some shows (and I lost the photos, but we have them back now and will post them below this text!)

But… it turns out that Kat decided he liked Hawaii even more than before and is now back here in the islands for a much longer stay.
Nick still hadn’t returned to Hawaii from his own tour and was offered a chance to replace Kat in Left Alone, and he agreed.
Bottom line, good for you, guys! Sounds like you’ll both be enjoying something new for a bit. Cheers.

Without any further delays, here’s a sample of the pictures from Left Alone in Hawaii – June 2008!
