WE ARE GOZA
GOZA is an extraterrestrial, inter-dimensional supersonic duo hailing from The Pleiades who took over two humans in Hawaii to bring peace and order to earthlings through the power of Rock N Roll.
Sworn to preserve the legacy of rock, these intergalactic warriors blend 70's mojo with alternative rock to create a sound out of this world. Slaying demons left and right, Drew's laser-beam guitar solos restores balance to the universe against the evil forces of radio goo-goo while Rani steers the ship with rock steady beats. FYI everyone from the Pleiades has a line across their face. :)

Kristin McMaster Mosh Play Live Uila Records welcome The Familyhood Nextperience to the Big Island June 19th-21st. People have been asking what should they expect, or what type of music will be played? Let Legendary Bassist Norwood Fisher explain: The Familyhood Nextperience - Another Norwood Fisher Concoction The Familyhood - The perception that the band and its fans are a familial symbiosis, a mutual support system. I came up with this when pondering the fans of Fishbone around mid 80’s. Nextperience - The organic creation of your future in the ever present now, untethered by the chains of the past. Musically expressed (Nextpressed) as honest improvisation. The pursuit of saying something brand spankin’ new. Over a decade later, I wanted to fulfill an urge to do all improvised Dub/Reggae with the members of Fishbone, under a different name. Thus, The Familyhood Nextperience the moniker I chose. With Norwood Fisher as the creator and organizational force behind The Familyhood Nextperience. The drive to explore (Nextplore) the unfamiliar will always be present. An ever evolving cast of masterful musicians, some well known, some unknown to most, are invited to mine the unified field of intelligence, connecting telepathically to produce whatever the moment sonically calls forth. In short, making sum’n outta NUTTIN’. This line up consists of ex-Fishbone band mates, Norwood Fisher, John Steward and Dre Gipson, Bobby Easton from Long Beach Dub All-stars, Van G Martin of John Brown’s Body and G. Love, with special guest, the legendary H.R., Human Rights/Bad Brains. They will be performing classic and new material that spans H.R.'s legacy, so you expect some Bad Brains and more. They’ll also dig deep into the realm of All Improvised Psychedelic Dub. At every angle, the night is designed to give your body and feet something to move to. Special thanks to Krissy Lee Entertainment for bringing Norwood and his friends to the Big Island for the past year.
