Thanks for tuning to "The Weekly Dish" radio show on KAOI 1110Am/96.7Fm and here online!
Kihei and Wailuku didn't see the monsoons, so we were dry and dandy this morning! Much love to our North Shore and Upcountry pals. Be safe! Oh, and I heard there be will be snow on Hawai'i Island's summits. Pray for some on Haleakala. I've seen it before... so cool!
Our good buddy James Bowersox of MOTHxp joined us in the studio, and well, it got a little silly at times. No surprises there!
I'm really proud to support MOTHxp, my favorite band in Hawai'i! Not only are the James(s) like brothers to me, but I hold the utmost respect for them musically and creatively all-around. They've done a fine job over the last three years, and take the chances that many are too scared to.
MOTHxp's original music is some of the best to come out of the islands in years, and it's different and daring. "Tool meets Cirque du Soleil" is what they have called themselves at times, but when you experience a MOTHxp show and listen to their album, it's so much more. Layers of intricately composed progressive rock, powered by the slick skills of guitarist James "Cotton" Hartman and drummer Bowersox. Each song takes you on a journey and evokes something inside of you, maybe even a beast inside us all. It's forceful and alluring at the same time..
Congrats to MOTHxp on their slots at SXSW's Red Gorilla Festival in Austin next month, and much love to Tammy Miranda Music Productions for her kokua. The boys also have some exciting new management representation to take them to a new level. Thanks to Om Concerts and Fellerman Entertainment for their support! Very cool guys. ;-)
We played their MOTHxp's track "Taparoo" to end the episode, but you can enjoy them live as they playing for the first time in over 6 months on Maui. You can help the guys get to Austin by buying their music off www.mothxp.com and coming to these two shows:
*Saturday, Feb. 23, at Charley's in Pa'ia
*Saturday, March 2, in Three's Surf Lounge in Kihei
We also talked to birthday boy, Paul Janes-Brown! We love him and hope he has a great weekend on O'ahu and Upcountry. He had an array of theatre and arts news to share.

Kihei Fourth Friday is tonight, and Shawn and I get to play on camera! Stoked! We'll be cruising Azeka from 6 to 7 p.m. with an Akaku camera crew, so come say hi if you see us. Also, if you can't make it out, we'll be on Akaku Ch. 54.
The musical lineup is stellar this time around, with our buddies from Bad Kitty and Gomega on the main stage, and Stella's is jamming with Ahumanu, Erika Elona of O'ahu and the return of alt. rockers, Owaila. All free, all night.

| All nine members of the state Land Use Commission were present on Thursday, Feb. 7. By a 6-3 vote, they found the landowners in violation of three conditions of the original order granted in 1995 that converted the land from “Agricultural” to “Urban” use. The majority felt that because neither retail nor housing use was originally included in the proposal, the impact of such use such as traffic, schools, roads, run-off and other matters had never been considered. |
