The real problem with Gomega/Kanoa of Gomega
January 31, 2009 | 04:54 PM

It has been the understanding of many people, on the island of Maui and the surrounding islands, that Kanoa is one of the best musicians on the islands. He is in the same breath as Uncle Willie K, NuffSedd and by far better than Paula Fuga and she has a huge following. So, what's wrong with Kanoa/Gomega? He writes great music, plays a number of instruments incredibly well, has a great stage personality and on top of that is a really great person. So, what's wrong with Kanoa/Gomega? Its that shadow in the background of every show, the member of the band that has way to much say, yet no talent, the person that causes members of the band that are awesome to call it quits, its that person that books them at the same venue over and over and over again until the venue has no more customers and they can no longer afford to pay bands what they are worth due to over saturation, but yet will still book Kanoa for little to no money at all and for so many many other reasons... Everybody all at once say it with me. IPO KAHELE is that reason!!! Booking one person for shows on Maui and getting the lowest amount of what they offer any band is not being a manager. He is as good as they come and is being destroyed one day at a time.
