Hi!
Just a reminder, we're at Don Ho's this Saturday, so put on your dancing shoes and come on down! Our dear friends, The KingPins, will be next door at Gordon Biersch, too, so we'll have our friendly competition thing going on. Ha ha ha! Please share our gig schedule with everyone you know, and ask them to support LIVE music:
THIS SAT. 8/28 Don Ho's Island Grill @ Aloha Tower Marketplace (8-11 pm)
Thu. 9/09 St. Louis Alumni (6:30-10 pm)
Fri. 9/10 Don Ho's Island Grill (8-11 pm)
Sat. 9/25 Don Ho's Island Grill (8-11 pm)
Wed. 9/29 Dole Cannery's "Bump On The Hump" (6:30-9 pm)
Our 1st "Bump On The Hump" was a blast. Not a "SRO & 6 hanahou" crowd (hyuk! hyuk! This only means that it wasn't a packed house like one of our "friends" always brags about, huh Harvey?! ), but a good turnout nonetheless; and it's always good to see all our friends dancing & having FUN! That is the name of the game! We hope the word will get out to as many people as possible that the Dole Cannery Ballroom is a really good place to go to, and we also hope that their Wednesday "Bump On The Hump" will take off as THE place to be to break up the work week in a nice, conveniently located place to join your friends, or make new friends, that offers fun exercise (dancing), ono pupus, and nutritional supplements (booze) . The Iwilei Ballroom at Dole Cannery is very spacious with a nice stage for the band, decent-sized dance floor (we heard from the manager that he'll try to make the dance floor bigger next time), GOOD FOOD, good service, lots of convenient parking, and air-conditioning! Can't ask for more than that!
Hope to see you at Don Ho's this Saturday! This is another venue we love dearly. Very nice atmosphere on the waters of Honolulu Harbor. We always enjoy our times there, and we are very grateful that we can perform & play in this very "majical" place that holds so many memories of so many talented musicians who have performed there as well as memories of days gone by...never to ever forget that one of Hawaii's most famous icons, Uncle Don Ho, used to perform in that very room. For all us old-fogies, you guys remember The Alii's? Hard to find talent of that caliber nowadays, and a tough act for us to follow, but we have fun doing what we do and LOVE all the friends like you who come out all the time to support us!!! And NO FORGET...Al Waterson is also still at Don Ho's on Thursdays (Special performance night featuring various guest artists) & Sundays (Singing competition night and karaoke open mic). If you just want to sit back and be entertained by someone who is not only handsome & charismatic, but a real HAM & great singer, you will enjoy Al Waterson!
Until next time...a hui hou!
Love from me, da Dying Cock-A-Roach, & da boyz!
