February 2026 Shows

This is a list of every show I plan to attend in February. I like my new work schedule, it will allow me to achieve this. I'll be missing Circle Jerks though; I'll be off island for work. But some changes were made to that work schedule too which will allow me to catch Screeching Weasel on both nights. Hopefully too, but it wasn't announced yet, Banana Jazz be playing 3rd Thursday at Bevy *fingers crossed.
​I screened shot all these flyers, can you tell?

This should be a fun one, a showcase of music videos produced by the student bands at Kailua Music School. Should be a fun time! I'm sure all the students put in a lot of work and time into making this happen. 

I still have yet to check out a show at Skull-Face. It looks like it could get tight in there, and maybe hot, but it looks like it's always a fun time there and packed! Very cool venue for all-ages shows and 3 bands too. SMITZ will always be a good time. Cesspool Democracy V2 have been putting in lots of stage time as of late, and no doubt will be in full-time shredders soon enough. This would also be my first time seeing Sumor, if I'm able to make the show. I've seen a couple of the members play in other bands such as Tuesday on Mars and Taboo Zero (just online stuff, have yet to see the band in full form). 

Final show? Damn. Crowd hits a little extra hard during a Weight of Sin set; either I go a little extra too or keep out haha. I think the singer is moving (relocating for work?), safe travels to ya! It'll be nice to see Fastidium again, always a wonderful set as are Third Degree and Switch. And by this time, I'll have my weekends back and can make this wonderful early show. 

Imma run to this right after the Manifest show. Hopefully not too much overlap or none at all; would love to catch these sets in their entirety. I can't recall if I've ever caught an 82fifty show. I feel like I have, possibly at the old Downbeat lounge? When it was still called Downbeat. I think it's currently The Otherside (HNL?). This is a solid punk-pop and rock bill. And it will be nice seeing the guys in Kill Tuco, very friendly dudes. Oh and I finally found my go-to parking spots for Harbor's. I'm not telling. I still don't want to chance it at Safeway lol. 

It was announced Lagwagon was going to be playing in Hawaii, March 2020. I remember wondering if it was going to be a possbility. Unwritten Law were in town, I remember watching Feeble open up and having to leave right after their set. It was supposedly the Knumbskulls final show (turned out it would be 4 years later...or not??) and Unwritten Law played (and they were here just months ago again). COVID was getting serious and the Lagwagon show was cancelled. The stars have realigned and Lagwagon is returning! And the best part, 13th Legion will be opening up. This is a WEDNESDAY SHOW, sooooo nice. I love 13th Legion, they are such a rad LIVE BAND. I lost count how many time I've seen them already and it's always solid. This is going to be a dope show. 

Never heard of this band until recently through a post from 808imposters. Nice&Swell have some pretty solid tunes and I think it'd make a fun date night at either Secret Spot (maybe, that's a Sunday) or at Anna's. I like the flyer. 

This should be a cool show, although, I get done at work right at 7:00pm, so I'm missing the opener whoever that is, which better not be Emergency Contact. I missed Frankengirl's first set. I don't really want to miss Emergency Contact's first show. Not sure how Secret Other's is going to go, is it their first show too? I think it's overlapping members of Convoluted Planes and Mara Bloom...and probably (secret) others. Last time I saw Saydie was at This is 808 Fest, the first and last of its kind. Very solid group. It was Kat (the singer) and Mara Bloom basically. I think she travels between Philippines and here and travels the world as Saydie. Dope. Should be a good mix of heavy, scremo and shoegaze. 

I have the Pettyfords to thank for introducing me to Screeching Weasel. Thank you. I'm also looking forward to both nights. Originally, I was only going to make it to night 2 due to work, but some changes were made and it looks like it's going to be a fun weekend of shows! I'm especially looking forward to seeing Square Shapes from Kauai. Never thought that was going to happen, but thank you Jason Miller! These shows are especially cool because of all the outer island bands coming out to play these shows. And it's Screeching Weasel's first time in Hawaii? Crazy. 

After Screeching Weasel night 2, Imma run down to Irish Rose for Once a Month Punk, which is happening on the 4th Saturday instead of the 3rd. Good, cuz I want to see all these bands again. And I'm glad to see that Once a Month Punk is still happening. But how about twice a month? 

February is going be a fun month.
