December 13, 2007 The Sweetest Art Exhibition Ever
Friday (Dec. 14), 6-10 p.m. at The Sugarcane Clothing Co., Paia
[ART] "Photography is an addiction, pure and simple," local photographer Jessica Pearl says. "It's a way of life for me that borders on compulsion." Pearl (who used to shoot for Maui Time) has artistic compulsions that sound remarkably similar to a nagging sweet tooth. Ironically, this night of fabulous photography and great music is all about the always beautiful and ever controversial sugarcane plant. During the exhibition, DJ Durty will spin tunes while light pupus and wine are flowing. Attendees can also take advantage of a 10 percent discount on photography and 20 percent discount on everything else in the store. Cocktail attire recommended. Tickets: $5 donation to the Paia Youth and Cultural Center suggested. For more information visit www.jessicapearl.com or call 579-8760. [STARR BEGLEY]
Hawaiian Style Christmas
Friday (Dec. 14), 7:30 p.m. at the Iao Theater, Wailuku
[STAGE] The kids of St. Anthony Jr. and Sr. High school's Drama Club are putting on a production of Wayne Moniz's A Hawaiian Kine Christmas Carol. Good old St. Anthony is my alma mater and I can tell you that, for a fact, this is gonna be good stuff–we Catholic school people know how to put on a good show, especially one about guilt. The play is about a "Scrooge" who lives and learns in, you guessed it, Sprecklesville set in the late 1800's. I get a good chuckle that Scrooge lives in Sprecks. How apropos. You don't want to miss this, folks. Tickets: $7, $4 249-0234 or MauiOnstage.com.
Murder She Toke
Friday (Dec. 14), 10 p.m. at Casanova, Makawao
[MUSIC] I can't even begin to explain how livid I am that Chaka Demus is playing on Maui on the one weekend I'll be off island. The nerve! I love Chaka Demus and have been a huge fan ever since my sophomore year of high school when "Tease Me" was a big hit. Ah, good times. Anyway, in case you need more prodding, other hits include "Murder She Wrote" and "She don't let Nobody," but if you're cool and local, you already knew that. Tickets: $25 before 11, $30 after. For more information call 572-0220 or visit www.RaJahdat.net
Frame of Mind
Friday-Saturday (Dec. 14-15) 10 p.m. at Charley's in Paia
[MUSIC] I'm having difficulties describing the sound of the popular, always on-tour band Frame of Mind. At first I thought, Red Hot Chili Peppers and then I was like no, this is kind of old school Woodstocky but then finally I decided that I didn't know what the hell I was talking about. What I can say for sure is that they infuse funk, rock, reggae, Latin, fusion, psychelic and blues sounds and that they are totally groovable and oddly obsessed with the color purple. Purple, I might add, has long signified both royalty and death. Anyway, Charley's is gonna be decked out in an exotic purple theme and on Friday, the person sporting the best purple costume will win a nifty prize. Dress to impress… in purple. Tickets: $15. For more info call 579-9453 or visit www.frameofmindlive.com.
Slack Key Master
Saturday (Dec. 15), 7:30 p.m. at Maui Lotus Yoga Studio, Kihei
[MUSIC/DANCE] Makana is considered to be the youngest living master of the Hawaiian Slack Key guitar. Don't ask me who decides this stuff; I just report what's being said. It could possibly be that he's opened for Sting and Santana, had a Grammy nomination in 2006 and has won too many awards to list. Between slack key sets, the Nomadic Dream Belly Dance troupe will be performing, which is just awesome because belly dancers rock. Or would that be wiggle? Whatever they do, they're hot. Kind of like Makana. Tickets: $20, 874-9642.
