F.K.A. brings A.K.A.s

Thursday  (Aug. 27), Iao Theater, Wailuku, 5 – 10pm, $10 Presale / $15 Door

“Fight, f**ck, dance, destroy!” proclaims Philly punk band, The A.K.A.s, set to tear up the historic Iao Theater, thanks to the guys at Requests (tidbit: at one point the shop was called “The Store Formerly Known as Requests,” with an “R” shaped logo mimicking that of you-know-who). Hitting Hawaii after a long run with the Vans Warped Tour, The A.K.A.’s tour Tweets reveal they’re not all reckless abandon, and have a soft spot for recycling. What’s cooler than eco-conscious PA punk? Their newest member, bassist Michael Camino, is formerly of Hawaii’s own Hellcaminos! Maui's White Rose, f.k.a. Order of the White Rose, are the show's hard-hitting openers.  Tickets can be had at Requests, Island Ink and Hot Rod Tattoo; call 244-9315 for more information.
