DJ Nocturna interviews Shawn Lopes on his new book _Local Unrest_ about the Hawaii underground music scene from the late 70s on. They were both part of the scene and have a good conversation between friends. https://youtu.be/ALQlH3tRuhs?si=h02UU2RU4kqyAy49

HPR's The Conversation covers "Local Unrest." The Shawn Lopes interview starts around the 41:30 minute mark. This is really just a teaser for the book as far as interviews go, and it seems to be missing the last minute or so from the file hpr put up. Still a good brief discussion on the old scene. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mptzWqd3RkJJHtOcn2vAu?si=4yFnx2BIS_uYjBO5vfcDUg

From 2003 to 2006 Creation Science played and recorded in Rob's garage in Berkeley. Here's us doing a fun cover of "Hot Wire My Heart" by Crime. This is Dave, Rob, and Jim of the Wrong, and Ed from Cringer, live in the garage and having fun. Enjoy! You can find the band's entire CD on the Hawaii Punk Museum site and Youtube page. All the other songs are originals.

The Wrong Live at Gilman February 1989 with lyrics. This is the streamlined version. Eight complete songs, with lyrics. A very good gig for the Wrong and their last at Gilman. https://youtu.be/J5GVPWVZtmk?si=cWl0Cniz26yMDdoP

Sours are a minimalist instrumental band that ranges from jaunty to haunting. This won me over. I think I picked this tape up at Jelly's around when it came out and I just dug it out of a box I was looking through.

Dave Carr wrote: This is the first home studio project I did on my own. I'm on drums, bass, guitar, lead guitar, vocals, and backing vocals. I think I was 14 or 15, so 1980 or 81. I did this on a half track reel to reel, bouncing each track as I did another overdub. I started with just the drums (to a metronome playing the song by memory) and built it from there. Came out pretty good for a little kid!
