Kepi Ghoulie, former punk rock artist whose notoriety is already established, comes perform in Hawaii for the very first time. Here is what Verbicide Magazine journalist Sebastian Gahan says about Ghoulie’s latest album:
“I Bleed Rock ‘n Roll from Kepi Ghoulie – formerly of Groovie Ghoulies — is an album blessed with a catchy title. But does the music hold up? The album opens with the short and sharp “Rock and Roll Shark,” which seems to lay out the blueprint for the album with its lyrics, “‘I gotta keep swimming, I gotta keep winning!” This record does everything in its power to keep winning with song after song of catchy, deceptively simple rock ‘n roll.
