Roller Derby Exhibition
5 pm Central Maui Boys and Girls Club basketball courts, Kanaloa Ave.
FREE - FAMILY FRIENDLY - NO SMOKING/DRINKING
Bring a picnic, bring the kids, and come have some fun! Have you ever seen roller derby played? It's fast and furious, lots of contact and some confusion - and the Maui Rollergirls want to give you the inside scoop so you know what the heck you're cheering for. The Maui Rollergirls are scrimmaging tonight at 5pm on the basketball courts behind the Central Maui Boys and Girls Club - and the public is invited to this free, family friendly event. Instead of the usual 1 hour bout, they will have shorter exhibition jams - taking the time to stop and take questions, explain the plays and the strategy behind them, and demonstrate why Maui's roller derby team remains undefeated. Meet the team, buy a shirt with the infamous "slippah skate" logo, talk to us about sponsorship opportunities for this new non-profit, and support a group of women that are traveling around the country to compete, and also bringing tremendous derby talent here to Maui. Roller Derby is the fastest growing sport in the world. It is experiencing what some might call a renaissance, but we call it a revolution. Please feel free to forward this message :)

The Maui Celebrity Series ends it's run at The Maui Theatre
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - William Shatner, Roseanne Barr, David Spade, Nick Swardson, Hal Sparks, Mos Def, Tom Arnold, Citizen Cope, Tom Green, Rob Schneider, Mick Fleetwood, and Brian Evans.
The shows rolled into Lahaina over 2010, and ended this past Saturday night with prolific singer/songwriter Citizen Cope.
"The Maui Celebrity Series had a great run. It gave us the opportunity to give local comedians and musicians the chance to open for national acts for their own resume as the progress in their own paths, we allowed the Lahaina side to experience something different, and we all had a great time," says series creator Brian Evans.
"In the end, I'm not a promoter. I am a singer. This was a fun thing to do, but to be honest, I really didn't know what I was doing half the time. I was driven by having fun," he says. "I'm glad to have ended the series on the high note of the successful Citizen Cope concert that we had this past Saturday night."
Evans is working on his major label debut under multiple Grammy Award winning producer Narada Michael Walden, among other projects he is working on.
"This was fun, but I need to continue on my own path and where my goals truly are," says Evans. "I will always love Maui and intend on maintaining my residence here and enjoying and tasting the islands throughout my life. I just knew it was time to end it when we were beginning to develop a TV show around it. It occurred to me that I was losing my focus on what I really do for a living."
Evans says The Maui Celebrity Series may pop up on occasion at various venues on island, including The Maui Theatre, but has no plans at this point to continue the series forward. He has canceled remaining shows scheduled for 2011 due to his other career responsibilities.
"I'm shooting a music video in August, so I can't really be on Maui promoting an Andrew Dice Clay concert, and it's not my thing beyond what I do on occasion for fun and to give local talent a shot. I think everyone knows that our intentions were good, and on we go to the next chapter," Evans concludes. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for promoters that I didn't even know about before, how hard this is to put people in those seats."
A special video montage will be placed at The Maui Celebrity Series (.com) in coming weeks, celebrating the shows that occurred there.

Saturday (June 4), Haui's Life's A Beach, Kihei, free
Oahu's own HiRiZ--featuring Maui-raised lead singer and guitarist Ka'imi Hanano'eau---bring their unique rock steady style to the South side, this Saturday (June 4). Best of all, there's no cover for the concert. Yep. The best things in life are free! [1913 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei; 808-891-8010; http://www.mauibars.com / http://www.hirizmusic.com]ABOUT THE BAND (read more at http://www.hirizmusic.com):
Hiriz started at Easy Music Center where Ka’imi and Steve worked. They talked about starting a band not knowing what would become of it. Steve knew a drummer and a rhythm guitarist. The first couple of practices were rough but it soon started to take shape. By that time, they did not have a band name. Practices took place in Papakolea over looking downtown Honolulu. Shannon came up with the name “high rise” but the others took it to the next level. Thus, HiRiZ was born.
HiRiZ has built up their original and cover material to with stand a five hour gig. With the island reggae and rock fusion technicality, HiRiZ has a distinct sound. Not limiting their horizons, they also like to mesh the reggae vibe with genres such as Bossa Nova, Jazz, Alternative, R&B, and Funk.
ABOUT MAUI BOY KA'IMI HANANO'EAU (read more at http://www.hirizmusic.com):
Born on O’ahu and raised in Maui, he started playing Ukulele at the age of 5. By freshman year at H.P. Baldwin High School he was already affiliated with a Halau/Production company at the age of 14 . It was his first job and only job in his high school years. How fortunate of him to have a regular income as a professional musician until graduation. When he graduated, he could play ukulele, bass, guitar, piano and Tahitian percussion. He then moved back to O’ahu to attended BYUH in La’ie where he graduated with a B.A. in Music (Major) and Hawaiian Studies (Minor) furthering his knowledge with music theory and live sound engineering. He now works as a Sales Associate at Easy Music Center Pearl City where he specializes in ukulele and live sound equipment. Ka`imi has experience with all aspects of music ranging from behind the stage as a sound technician to on stage as the main act. His current instrument of choice is the guitar. He alone has enough material for a three-hour solo gig but jamming with HiRiZ is his new passion.
