So after a long day of filming with the Baraquios we decided to go Ice Skating (while Ipo got tired of listening to Cody wine to go to Ice Places). The only people that went skating was Jen, Mai, and Cody. Ipo believes it was a set up….???? Anyways Kanoa, Ipo, Mike, and House just drank hot coco and ate popcorn and later went outside to play hacky sack. What fun…..!!!!

After that we went back to the house to get ready to go to Tropic to play a set. It was fun and it was over….!!!!

This was an awesome experience for our band and we are so happy that Rob Yamanoha hooked us up with this opportunity. We have some really great friends and we all work real good with each other. We are also thankful to Alan Kahana and Mailani Makainai for always letting our band stay with them while we are in town and Jenn “JROQ” Wright for the back line and stuff like that. We would also like to give a great big MAHALO to Kanoa’s sponsor for making this trip possible for Gomega to make it to Oahu! MAUI TROPIX! Thanks so much!

Anyways enjoy the video and pictures!!!!! Airing of this show starts June 9th 2008 on OC16 and there after all week long.

So Kanoa, Ipo, and House were alright on Oahu since Wednesday for some cruz time and Kanoa had a gig on Thursday. Anyways Ryan, Cody, and Mike came in from Maui about 6 something but we had to wait for Cody’s bag. After that we headed up to Lily Koi’s where Gomega was gonna sit in with Simply Souls. Mahalo to the girl for letting us jam with them. It’s always nice to play with Jen and Zay so many good times.

After that we were so hungry we went to Anna Millers! Yes!!! Food. There we had a good time like always and headed to back to Kaneohe to Alan & Mai’s to crash cuz da next was gonna be crazy busy.

Ok this was a day to go down in Gomega’s book of WOW! So after an already long weekend we we’re suppose to open for Alpha Blondie at the MACC with Okla Da Moc but due to illness in Kona Alpha Blondie couldn’t make it to Maui. So that so sucked but we would rather Alpha Blondie get better so that he could one day return to Maui.

So we ended up going to Las Pinatas in Kahului to eat and then we all decided to go to the beach in Kihei. So off we went to Side Walks in Kihei. Wow choke white peeps down there. Kind of felt off being the only brown peeps down there but was all good. We had fun.

After the beach we went home to rest and after that headed over to Castle Big Fun to drink, play rock band, and cruz before heading to Tiki’s to watch Kanoa play.

If you want to know what else happen after this check out www.kanoaofgomega.com for the rest of the night.

To Our Band Members:

This is for who ever has lost sight of what Gomega’s goals are in music!

When Kanoa and Ipo started Gomega their were no rules. Their were goals of what we:

DIDN’T want to do:

1. SELL OUT! We wanted to make music that we wanted to make and not conform to what others bands were doing to just sell CD’s and make a name for them self. Staying true to our MUSIC and being a part of the culture of music. Staying on the humble path of success and not choosing the path everyone else wants us too.
2. BE STALE! Always being as fresh as we can from cover songs to music we make.
3. HAVE EGO TRIPS! We want everyone in Gomega and our Dream Team to have input and not one person make all the decisions. Kanoa is the face and songwriter of Gomega but everyone in Gomega has a say from music creativity to SOME business decisions.
4. TO NEVER FORGETING WHERE WE COME FROM! Always remembering who’ve helped us get where we will be or where we are. Never losing sight of our goals in music.

Thing we DID want to do:

1. Make a different in the local music world!
2.  If anyone played/s in Gomega we always tell them it’s NOT about the money it’s ALWAYS about the music first and if you don’t like it then Gomega isn’t for you! (meaning we could make/ charge a lot of money to play gigs like other bands or we can keep our prices fair so people can afford us. Do whatever community events that people ask for or sharing the stage with Big names and turn down the money cuz  we are happy to be asked and it’s an honor just to meet great talent in this business)
3. Support the underground music on Maui and anywhere else.
4. MAKE GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!! and have fun doing it with band members who believed in the music GOMEGA makes and plays!

Where do I began? It’s been a long few weeks of not knowing what was going on but now all is good in some departments. I feel like a lot of shit was lifted off my shoulders and I do have some great friends out there that help me though this Mahalo to Hekili, Joey, and Kristi.

Sometimes in this crazy world of the music business you met some great people but when you start crossing the road of developing a deeper friendship away from music all is good cuz it’s fresh and you start learning things about each other that deepings your friendship and is worth the bullshit and stress of learning about each other. Though out the years I have experience relationship like this just like a lot of people in this business.

When it comes to the personal relationship you have to trust in your friendship NO matter what! When you start taking thing from business and crossing it over to your personal relationship then you loss sight of what is what.

Couple weeks back I was told that my blog Frustrated caused me to be unprofessional and people who read it wouldn’t want to do business with our band, and in short I shouldn’t air out our dirty laundry and a lot of other things were said about my business tactics and I believe every one is welcome to their opinions. This web/blog page is for the good, bad, and the ugly things that go on in the world of Gomega and if our band members have lost sight of this you really need to check your self cuz in June 2008 it will be a year that our blog has been up.

I’m Ipo and what you see is what you get and if I have something to say I will say it and if others people out there feel as if it’s a personal attack then you should call me on it, if you call yourself my friend, you should ask. I never hide anything and if people know me and call me their friends they know that they can ask me and I will tell you. I’m 36 years old and I have NO time for people who question my friendship along with my business decisions.

To our Band members, Business Friends, and Personal Friends I’m moving on with or with out you, I’ve wasted enough time on this shit and I’m over these fucking games that are being played.

Happy belated St. Patricks Day to everyone.

So we had and awesome awesome AWESOME St. Patty’s Day show at Life’s a beach in kihei. I had a blast. The musical blend we had was fricken saweeet. Not just because everyone killed it and does an incredible job like always, but because we had the privilege of having Wolf on bass!!!

Now, i’ve heard alot about Wolf and his chops, but dude, he is the man! Everything was on point and just clicked. Kanoa was on guitar and DL4, Big Mike on drums, Wolf Man on bass, Ryan on guitar, and myself on keys and talk box. At first i was thinking that we were gonna have guitar wars with 2 guitars on stage, which is something rare for Gomega. Then as we began our first set i noticed it was actually blending. Not too sweet, not too rancid. Kanoa was able to concentrate more on his vocals while playing guitar and everything sounded natural and not forced. The stage vibe was solid. I haven’t felt that musical fullness on stage in a while and it felt reeeeally goood. It all was just really comfortable. We do our best at every show and Kanoa kills on bass, but just having that designated bass player and Kanoa being able to focus on vocals adds so much more to the sound.

Overall it was a great night for us. I hope to share the stage with Wolf man a lot more. Maybe even permanently??? Haha. We will see.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us! Also to the Fun House Crew (Joey, Will, Eric) who never miss a show, Brendan and Sarah, and to Life’s a beach. You guys and girls rock.

Fo Sho!

Cody M.
