The
GITS |
Dir.
Kerry O’Kane
80 mins - USA, 2008
In 1993, The Gits were on the brink
of stardom. Front woman Mia Zapata was the very
embodiment of riot grrrl intensity, talent, and
humanity. Her uncompromised integrity epitomized
a way of life that influenced an entire generation
of female artists to follow. Upon returning from
a successful European tour -and at the height of
The Gits’ popularity- singer Mia Zapata was
found raped and murdered, unfairly abbreviating
the band’s fable. Incredibly, more than a
decade later, new evidence would surface, and a
suspect would be brought to justice –as cameras
rolled. ‘The Gits’ is an account of
overcoming adversity, addiction, love, loss and
pain. It’s the mythic story of a great American
Rock N Roll band.

THE
86 LIST
www.myspace.com/the86list
Regarding
violence against women, the 86 List has always been an
anti-war band and we believe the best way to promote world
peace is to live peacefully within our communities and
families. You cannot have peace when violence is flourishing
within our homes. 86 List has no tolerance for domestic
violence nor do we believe in using violence as a way
to teach children right from wrong. With estimates as
high as 1 million people dead due to the war in Iraq,
we feel the best anti war examples we can make is by living
without using violence in our own lives. WE TOTALLY AGREE!
This conscious local band has shared the stage with Anti-Flag,
Dropkick Murphys, The Bouncing Souls, Strung Out, The
Line, and Youth Brigade and have been influences in the
Hawaii scene since 1999.

BARI 13
www.myspace.com/baribari13
This Japanese-born
quintet rocks songs of high-energy Japanese-language tunes
inspired by 1950s American rock and ‘70s punk and
rockabilly. Their ability to rock audiences of all walks
of life is impressive. Not only do they have a keen sense
of style, they rocks as serious musicians in the Honolulu
scene. There's a reason the lead singer has a katana for
a mic stand. They're simply killer.
