I should have stated that it was a masked and socially distanced event. We were at the Lava shack several weeks ago and they were really on top of people to wear their masks and social distance. More so than any grocery store or department store. Also, there is an area towards the back that is sort of outdoors.TomK, thanks for your feedback and taking the time to watch the video. Erik and Justine were playing more metal before I joined the band, but I know that they had influences such as the Ramones. I came along and had a very poppy punk background-think Blink 182. We met somewhere in the middle of all of that and began writing our own music. Of course, we do covers too and actually are looking for suggestions for our next "Hawaii style" cover. That's fun that the video reminded you of your university times listening to live bands. I totally respect that this type of music isn't everyone's cup of tea. We do have a lot of fun at our shows though and hope that folks catch the energy.
We recently played a show in Ocean View and lots of folks came out. Everyone kept mostly to their pods and masked up and it was great! No one got sick and all had a fun time, especially after being cooped up for a year now!
As far as the virus goes, yes if you are worried then probably a good idea to stay home. Our country is very close to reaching herd immunity-there was a news article about that recently by a Dr from Johns Hopkins.
Also, did you know....Covid deaths for the state have reached 428, however per the CDC report, 637 people die every year in the state of HI from the flu. Deaths are sad no matter who it is and how it is, but that just gives a bit of perspective that we have not even reached flu numbers yet.
Be smart, wash your hands, build your immunity, and don't lick handrails! Aloha!
Its a colorful life!
