Broke Asstetik and the Republik Music Festival

Back stage at the MACC

It truly has been a great experience this weekend playing two of our biggest shows.  The Republik Music Festival was a first for Broke Aesthetic on many different levels that left us inspired for the next show.  The sound was seriously huge which brought out a new kind of monster out of us.  It's funny being on such a huge stage because you almost don't know what to do with yourself with so much space!
After Kakaako we had the pleasure of returning to Max's and my home island Maui.  Chill with the folks, eat some Maui grinds, and play music.  It really felt nice to return to Maui for the sole reason to play music that left a nice taste of satisfaction.  Seriously a big mahalo to all the support coming from Danny Navarro for the tech support, BAMP for letting us play, of course Brandon Apeles for taking us to the stage and everyone else for the love and support.  We will continue to do our thing and nothing but our best to show we are worthy of such an honor.

Republik Music Festival!


At this point I know I should be sleeping and getting some rest but I am just really anxious for Broke Aesthetic's debut performance at the Kakaako Waterfront Park for this years Republik Music Festival.  Due to a turn of events, Broke Aesthetic will be opening the night playing our own set!  We have songs we have been working on, introducing them to small amounts of people here and there, but this will be Broke's largest performance yet.  For those of you who are not aware of the event, this years line up includes G Love, Slightly Stupid, and the great Steel Pulse.  We hope to see you folks down there! Mahalo to BAMP for the great opportunity for us!
