Just moved here from Portland a couple of months ago, where the rock scene is saturated with many great bands. I was at the 311 show on Friday nite with my friend and saw Erin Smith open. Turned to my friend and asked who this was...she said she won the battle of the bands on Maui. Then thought...hmmmm, if this is the best rock band maui has to offer, maui doesn't have much of a rock scene whatsoever. I'd actually like to go to some rock shows out here, who are the good bands out here to go see?
