Del.icio.usBob’s Sports Bar on Hamakua Drive will be hopping from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday with a gathering of the old-time Kailua bands and their fans. The reunion idea took off earlier this year and will culminate in the release of a CD recorded by the musicians who kept teenage hearts pumping in the 1970s.
Bands like, ahem: Syster, Woodrose, Stryder, Cooper’s Still, Bright Eyes Band, Pinkerton’s, Foundry, Magi Streethearts. Kailua’s younger set (now with grandchildren) would flock to the old clubs Bully Hayes, Sylvester’s, Pinky’s Broiler, Rosey’s Boathouse, 23rd Step, 2nd Floor, Chuck’s Steakhouse just to hear them with their friends.
“It’s the who’s-who of the ‘70s, when Kailua was a rip-roaring town,” explained Joan Marie Cash, whose father owned the original Pinky’s. She predicts the gathering at Bob’s to be “a pretty hot commodity and it’s all on Facebook!”
Jud Haskins is producing the album, which should be ready in time for the party, but he’s already looking ahead to next year. “If I won the lottery tomorrow,” he said on the Kailuabands Facebook page, “the first thing I would do is send plane ticket money so everybody on the mainland could come to this first reunion event.
“We will be doing a bigger 2012 summer reunion, with a stage somewhere in Kailua.”
No coolers are allowed at the venue, and only the 21-and-over crowd is allowed in. You’re welcome to bring your own food. For details, go to Facebook or call 258-8046.
