bummer! we'll be in Pahoa town in one week... saw a smokin' (too soon?) DNB shoe there and was planning to pop in for a minute and maybe take a pic or two. oh well...
the Akebono Theater -- and downtown Pahoa -- escaped the lava-flow threat in 2014... now this
lots of GREAT memories of DNB shows in that venue... the boys always seemed to step it up a notch or two in that venerable old hall... ventilation was terrible and the music was HOT
DNB played there every Hawaii tour from 2007 thru 2016, and I was there for all but the first year
Wow. Just horrible. One of my all time favorite venues. Still smiling from our last show there. Rob Baraco in for Mookie and both John Molo and Wally Ingram on drums. One of the best DNB shows ever.

Saw that first thing this
Saw that first thing this morning.
very sad news..,
it looked like the historic front was saved, so maybe they can rebuild it, I'm not sure.
sounds like the Mexican restaurant, pawn shop and kava bar all burned too.
