Primate Five LUAU!







I lost my voice after this performance. I gave it my all to the fans and I know the other guys did too. Great crowd at the Luau. Thanks Dave for the best one yet! Also thanks to the Seattle Police Department for not shutting us down. I guess they heard us six blocks way. I never saw so many police at one party. I thought it was our escort to the tour bus after the show.... Oh well. Last photo was from the PunkLife Fest.

THE CLAW VS. TIKI MONSTER!




The Earth Shakes!

This years Luau was over the top. As the Claw I was asked to perform with the amazing Primate Five. Just back from an exhausting tour of the Phillipines they had one more to show to perform and asked me for my help. I am indebted to those four gentlemen after saving my life during a brawl in Lautoka Fiji that I intentionally started. At least I think it was them. Of course I said yes. I have an extensive fan base in West Seattle so I thought I could help.
After singing two of my most popular songs I noticed over the thunderous applause that something was going on in the back of the crowd. Almost immediately I recognized what it was. At over nine feet tall and 300 pounds one of my greatest enemies found me. Let me just state this now. HE DID NOT RECIEVE AN INVITATION.
I think that night the earth did shake.

LUAU Seattle







Luau- Pineapple Chicken

This was the best Luau yet. Each year Dave's backyard gets better looking as we add more Tikis, lights, and decorations for the bar.
The food was from a local Hawaiian family restuarant and was gobbled up in record time. Pineapple chicken, chicken katsu, and bbq pork. Lots of Hawaiian sweet rolls, and hot mustard to create tasty sandwiches. Thanks Bats! Didnt get too wasted this time thanks to the great food in mah belly. My watermelon drink (The most popular drink at the party) was not ready to go so I drank Tiki mugs full of delicious MaiTai's from drink master Carl Drunko. Great crowd. Met new people who share in the love of Tiki culture in Seattle. DJ's G and Double-O S.O.U.L were the perfect mix of lounge and funk. Next year will be even better!
