Hands down one of the best weekends ever: Andrew Brearley (Meaty Ogre) of Cherries Records spent 36 hours in Honolulu. I'm not sure how it happened, but Meaty Ogre was in Hawaii and everyone was grateful.
Expect feel good tropical grooves to fill the room at Mercury Bar on Saturday, May 18—Aloha Got Soul and Dig This Vibe join up with Chicago's Andrew Brearley (Meaty Ogre) of Cherries Records for a free night of funk and soul dancin'.
The Alika Lyman Group release their debut CD at The Dragon Upstairs this Friday. Their single, "Summer Me", beckons to be played once, twice, or twenty times with its sound of lazy sunshine baking the brim of your hat.
There were four of us spinning: Shitzr, Aloha Got Soul, Oliver Twist, and Alston. What felt like a dream has landed on Honolulu's music scene. Dig This Vibe is a reality, there's no doubt about it.
Digital music makes sharing this Hawaiian funk-soul-jazz obsession of mine with people around the world. For those of you lucky enough to be in Honolulu this weekend, I'm ditching digital and spinning vinyl only.
