[HIPHOP, ROOTS, ROCK] Everybody, and I mean everybody, is just going ape-shit over this new band that’s hit the island over the past few months. Well, actually the band is new but the members come from established acts on Maui. Gorilla Jazz is the culmination of dudes from hip-hop group Amphibeus Tungs and rock-island-ska-metal band The Easy. The result is a sound that vocalist/MC Quest Eons says is, “something different but not weird,” combining the vastly diverse influences of its members to introduce a new type of music that they call “G-Jazz.” However you might define the sound, these are musicians who know how to put on a skankin’ high-energy show and really get the crowd to go bananas. And that’s not something I’d fling poo about. Cover: $7.
