As a wise man (Stephen Malkmus) once said, "Aloha means 'goodbye' and also 'hello,' it's in how you inflect." He must've been predicting the advent of local musician Jason Holstrom's new tiki project The Thieves of Kailua. A huge departure from Holstrom's other work with Wonderful and United State of Electronica, the self-titled album (just released on Mill Pond Records) is a loungey ode to Hawaii, complete with Beach Boys-inspired harmonies, plucky ukuleles, and percussion like waves hitting the seashore. Like a lazy day at the beach, it goes well with a maitai or a mojito or a bucket full of Coronas....
The Thieves of Kailua will be playing a hula-heavy record release show at Chop Suey Thursday August 9th and another show at the Croc on Friday August 24th. Prep for both with a copy of the new album. Just fill out the form below for your chance to win. No worries: Your info is safe with us and will not be shared with advertisers and/or the government, yadda yadda yadda. We'll be drawing two winners later today at 5pm.
