The Vandals on Maui and Oahu

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.

WARPED TOUR

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.

Photo Submissions

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)

Screeching Weasel / Riverdales show in L.A.

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!


NOFX @ The Cellar 744 — LAHAINA, MAUI

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)

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

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!

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:

THE DICKIES

 

 

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!!

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!
