Secret Record Store at Barrio Vintage, Drowning Dreamers video premiere and No Villains Left Debut

 It's a busy month of music for me, with numerous DJ gigs and live performances; including the debut of my new ska/punk band, No Villains Left. I've also started long term subbing on KTUH. You can find me on-air in my old time slot, every Tuesday, noon-3pm (Hawaii Aleutian Time) on 90.1 FM or online at ktuh.org. I'm also hosting Maybe Bacon Music, a once-a-month DJ night serving up sexy music and sizzling bacon specials from the kitchen, every 2nd Thursday at Bevy. Next MBM is on October 12th. Hope to see some of you there. Here's what else I'll be up to this month:

"Affectionately referred to as a "supergroup," No Villains Left wields a lineup that's sure to whip any dancehall into a frenzy. The six-piece band consists of seasoned live music heavyweights from groups spanning over the last two decades in Honolulu – Go Jimmy Go, Exit 24, Pimpbot, Completely Insane, Disaster Kit and Alt/Air.

Their mixture of angst fueled crooning and high energy brass section deliver a ska/punk sound, reminiscent of such bands as Less Than Jake, Mad Caddies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

With Years of experience under their belt and a thirst for rocking stages around the globe, fans everywhere are excited about No Villains Left." – https://novillainsleft.com

No Villains Left's debut performance is on Friday, Oct.14th at Anna O'Brien's along with Jonny Random (of SMITZ) 82Fifty, Goat Punishment (a Weezer cover band) and Free Pizza (Rage Against the Machine cover band).
