The Golfcart Rebellion

Whatup nut.. So here's the scoop.....I was at Bikini's Cantina tonight and had the elite privilege of finding a local band by the name of The Golfcart Rebellion...so here is the review.... It’s now 0204 AM on the 23rd of April of this foul year of our lord 2006. The rum has been flowing like a riptide since about 9 and only the die hard regulars had the privilege of sharing this experience.... When I heard about the Vertical Charles breakup, I was shattered (11 March 06) ... I’ve not yet discovered a band with as much presence and energy as VC however, I don’t believe that I’ve been looking in the right places. I was at the local watering hole, Bikini Cantina, (highly recommended... good company, fantastic vibes, and an ensemble of poisons that is sure to push that ulcer as far as it can go), when I came upon a group of 6 guys setting up for what was perceived as an all night set. The name of the band is The Golfcart Rebellion. I was under the illusive impression that Ska as we know it was deceased as far as Oahu was concerned. Lord help me.... I was wrong. After what seemed to be an eternity of set up and sound checks, the band was underway... bringing forth a sound that was deafening to the ear at first, but soon wrapped you in a fusion of brass and electricity that I personally have not seen since Buck-0-Nine in 1997. I was awestruck .. helpless at the mercy of nylon picks scratching down frets, much like that of Social D. It was an absolute shame to find out that The Golfcart Rebellion had only come to perform one set of there musical genius ensemble. The band was opening for Black Square, a band that my wingman and I had walked out on at Boardriders in Kailua a few months back, due to the undulating fact that they were astray from their ska/punk roots and were entirely too reggae. Happily, they have changed a bit since then. My faith in this genre was reassured when I was informed by Kaz and Brian (uber guitar gurus) that The Golfcart Rebellion was to play again on May 6th with another band that I absolutely love by the name of Go Jimmy Go @ the Detox Lounge. During this time of incoherent explanation, Brian handed me a CD of their recorded songs, and some stickers to put on unsuspecting cars parked on my street in Aiea. In closing, I highly stress to those fans of Pimpbot and Black Square to come on out and bask in the sounds of these musical geniuses. You will not be disappointed. www.myspace.com/thegolfcartrebellion www.geocities.com/golfcartrebellion Check 'em out. This rum is entirely too potent... until next time..
