The Throwdowns
August 31, 2009 | 06:51 PM

This is sooo funny! hahah I came to check out the article and loved it! Anu, You are an amazing writer!
I just have to address a couple of issues.
1. Erin Smith Is a talented songwriter and singer, neither old nor past her prime.
2. Kimo and Ian Both kill it at what they do.
3. Every member of the throwdowns are amazing people. (Get to know them)
4. Believe me... that little battle of the bands had nothing to do with The Throwdowns success
5. No matter what you may think Erin Smiths song writing skills are way beyond anything I've ever heard in the islands. (If you want to argue this point show me somthing better)
6. Sounds to me that we have one or two extremely jealous people posting negativity.. When they should be working on their own music.
7. I will agree to an extent with the post that said "Today,I listened to the cd and was waiting for the WOW factor.It never came for me.Although each song has a distinct sound,it still all sounds like something I've heard somewhere else...and not on Maui." The Throwdowns are a new band... 5 months old to be exact. We produced a record and played a sold out show in five months... Show me a band you know that can do that. You are all going to feel the wow factor after you hear our next album. Though I take extreem pride in this record...It was just a baby step for the throwdowns.
8. Ola is not to good for this band he loves it and believes in it!
9. I like what shawn said. There will always be something or someone better than you. But the ones that succeed are doing it anyways!
Love and support all music.
Thats what Its all about
