The radar… it appears to be… jammed.
Michael Winslow @ Pipeline Cafe
12.30.09 I got a chance to check out “the Man of 10000 Sound Effects” Michael Winslow
at Pipeline Cafe. Well known from his Police Academy fame and those epic 2 minutes in Spaceballs, he had me laughing so hard I had trouble aiming my camera. That says a lot. (more…)
Auditory Juggernauts Pt. VI
Before Fire @ Pipeline Cafe
11.12.09 “GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE!” commanded Before Fire’s frontman, Lowell Gerry, to the remaining members of the audience who attempted to escape to the back of Pipeline Cafe. “I WILL FIGHT ANYONE HERE WHO WALKS AWAY!”
Brutality, Before Fire embodies it. (more…)
Auditory Juggernauts Pt. V
Disaster Kit @ Pipeline Cafe
11.12.09 Disaster Kit has grown-up quite a bit since the last time I’ve seen them. Luckily not too much. Their playful antics onstage and ridiculous knowledge of music theory make them a crowd favorite all the while carving their names in stone as one of the island’s most unique bands. (more…)
Auditory Juggernauts Pt. IV
Phoenix Rose @ Pipeline Cafe
11.12.09 There’s something to be said about a band who’s genuinely serious about their music. Phoenix Rose takes it to a whole new level. Their goal seems straight forward. Promote heavy music and destroy anyone else who tries to get in their way. (more…)
Auditory Juggernauts Pt. III
Technical Difficulty @ Pipeline Cafe
11.12.09 Technical Difficulty hit the stage proving that 3 guys can have just as much fun inducing neck pain in their audience as any 4 piece. I’m always stoked when a band isn’t afraid to educate the public with their favorites while injecting their own personality into them. Going from Tool to Rage Against the Machine, they had the audience screaming along with fists pumping to their favorite rock hits as well as a few of their own.

Chasing the White Rabbit
08.08.09 I got a chance to catch the legendary Darby Slick tear it up with his double-necked guitar again. This time at Pipeline Cafe backed by the always entertaining Friends of Adam. (more…)
We Gonna Rock all Night Long!
04.24.09- God I miss good ol’ fashioned rock shows. I love it when I show up to a show and I’m the youngest one at the entire venue. Its even more awesome when I have friends on the stage who specifically asked me to take photos. It was an absolutely epic night that shook the island like I haven’t seen in a long time. Bands that usually never stray far from their usual bar atmosphere finally took the stage at Pipeline cafe. (more…)
Poetry Slam Finals 09
04.02.09- I had a chance to witness an incredible night of poetry and spoken word at Pipeline cafe a few weeks ago. It was the Slam Poetry finals. These were the best of the best, pitted up against each other on one stage. I’ve seen them all before in previous slams but this was their shining moment. They put on their best and tore at the heart strings with the crowd hanging on every word. (more…)
Punk rock lives!!!
An epic weekend of music for yours truly. I got to witness one of my personal favorites, Bad Religion play an epic set and survive to tell about it. I ran in with my camera for the first couple of songs and then just went nuts for the rest of it. (more…)
