Kanekoa
July 09, 2009
Friday (July 10), 9pm, Eha's, Wailuku
Remember that one time when I wouldn't shut up about Kanekoa? Well, the universe has responded to my desperate pleas to revive the band and its uke-fueled jam stylings.
With a new drummer in tow and up to speed, tonight's gig kicks off a
string of shows across the isle, which means that this band's sizable
following can exhume itself and make like it's Dead tour. (But then
again, maybe not, since unlike Dead tour, hanging out in parking lots
would probably not be a good idea given the various anti-fun squads
that comb this island with a vengeance, squads the county sees fit to
fund with your money. Damn you, nepotism!). If you've never seen Vince Esquire
on ukulele, then you are pretty much required to attend. With groovy
originals and a list of brilliant cover choices, including "Peace Frogó
and "Franklin's Tower,ó the modest dance floor at Eha's will most certainly need some recovery time come this Saturday, roundabout 2am.
