Best Band, Winner
Gomega
Website: http://www.myspace.com/gomega
The name Gomega translates as "to go big," and this is exactly what the band has been doing since around 2000. Funky beats are mixed with familiar local rhythms to create a fresh, ingenious sound that had been absent from the local scene before this band's appearance. Gomega's goal is to escape the trendy expectations of the music industry and produce tunes that they enjoy, allowing them to maintain a genuine sense of integrity. This attitude shines through every beat of their work and enables Gomega to effortlessly claim the title of Best Band on Maui.
