NEW NEW NEW! DL INTERVIEWS WITH MACEO PARKER AND FRED WESLEY, THE ELTON JOHN BAND, AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT, THE LEGENDARY BEN VEREEN AND MORE

January 17, 2012

It’s Capt. Good N Plenty with plenty of good news from the Dave Lawrence interview scene: A truckload of funk pulled in, apparently, and Sir Elton John brought his band to Hawaii again! Dave Lawrence speaks with his drummer and guitar player of four decades, Davey and Nigel.

Then there was recent island visitor Mr. Chris Isaak who was Mr. Lawrence’s guest and you can hear a fun conversation with those two. And as if that wasn’t enough Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley come with the serious FUNK. Dave has a blast with the guys who popped the horns in the JBs and brought the scalpel to Dr. Funkenstein’s instrument kit.

AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT! No need for alarm, however. They write catchy songs sort of like U2 or Radiohead, and are coming to Hawaii. They talked with DL and it is online in the DL interview library from 2011.

We will post a 2012 library soon, as they are stacking up over at DAVE LAWRENCE ONLINE . COM.

Hoo-ah and out.

LISTEN TO new interviews from Dave Lawrence: Sammy Hagar, Sublime, REO Speedwagon & more!

December 20, 2011

Lt. North Shore Grooves is in the house with a run down of some of the new chit chats available to hear and even download online.

First of all, we say HOO-AH to all the warriors back from the latest (AND LAST) go round in the sandpit. At ease, y’all. It’s time to chill. Biggest respect and remembrance to all who did not make it back, and more so to the brave and outstanding among us who carry the scars of fighting for this country. We owe you a lot. Welcome back. Best to you and yours from us.

Now, you find yourself here with a lot of treats to enjoy on the music front. Don’t get me wrong, the airwaves in Honolulu are sounding good each afternoon 4pm to 6pm on 88.1 here in the city and it’s online across the state and in the other cities with their own signal. DL is offering a lot of across the board insanity for those starved for music radio with conversations! Check it: Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon, Sublime, Chris Isaak, and Donavon Frankenreiter all recently. Here are some videos actually>>>>>

New Dave Lawrence interview with Puddle of Mudd, The Cult, Shawn Colvin, John Oates and more visiting artists

August 3, 2011

Capt. Good N Plenty checking in and saying HOOAH to everyone in the sand pit(s).

Keep your head down and eyes open and be back home in one piece to your families ASAP.

Hey, Dave has new interviews, and listen to them here on the right in the 2011 interviews player we have. As he loads new interviews, then they end up in the player. There have been almost fifty this year, and you can spend hours on that thing listening to whole new interviews. The technology today, is amazing. Only way to describe it.

New in the box, as I like to call it LOL Puddle Of Mudd, The Cult, Shawn Colvin (nice lady to listen to), John Oates of Hall And Oates, guys from Fastball and The Alarm, too. At his site, there is a very cool new interview from Bayfest with Puddle Of Mudd, that is a second new interview. The one in the player is on the phone, the one at Dave Lawrence Online is a video interview. These guys look like they’re in the bag if you ask me, but it ends up being a fun time for all. Impressive interview skills required LOL. That one is the Classic Interview Player feature for August. Not too shabby…

Hear Dave every weekday as the local personality hosting NPR afternoon drive show All Things Considered as it airs in Hawaii. First on from Noon to 2pm on 89.3 KIPO and again at 88.1 during the 4 and 5pm hours… You can hear that second live broadcast here on the player on the right…

Lot of shows coming, and hopefully a lot of great new interviews from DL. We’ll keep you posted.

DL has new interviews with Sugar Ray Leonard, Steel Pulse, Sevendust, Michael Jackson guitarist Jen Batten & more.

May 29, 2011

Commander Cyclops in the house and bearing a large HOO-AH for all our brave men and women in the thick of it right now representing the islands far and wide, from the hell hole in Afghanistan to the almost-over duty we’re pulling in the sand pit of Iraq. A mighty mahalo from the brethren of the DL ARMY. Stand down and grab a cold one.

DL is loading up the ICBM tubes with the usual high grade material he’s known for. No surprise there. And another no surprise, but of note is the continuing caliber and variety of his guests. Get your ears on a long new interview with Steel Pulse now in the interview machine for 2011 Interviews, and hear that sit down pow wow. Very interesting stuff from one of the all time biggest names in Reggae period.This guy talks about hanging with Bob Marley and rolling numbers, rocking rolling… almost got my Kiss records out… no joke… chicken skin on the Bob stories, quoting Bob… real talkstory with this guy and was impressed how much there was to be learned and again, this is the band… one of the top names of all times in reggae.

Dave has spoken with Incubus, and added a short piece of that interview to hear in the interview machine now. More is coming it says on HPR’s site, and they have a show in August in Hawaii, so that’s the deal with them. Guy sounded very nice and into the islands.

Also on tap: Mama said knock you out! Boom. Tapping folks lights out is his game, as well as these days, fighting diabetes. Find out why Sugar Ray Leonard is also a big champ outside the ring with an interview DL did recently! Sugar Ray sounds like the softest teddy bear kicking it with DL, but after seeing him in the Fighter with Mark Wahlberg, he still looks great. Whatever he is doing, I want some, and hear about some decent areas of life, worth getting pointers from a guy like Sugar Ray. One of the greatest boxers and all around heroes, he gives a lot of himself for others, and still looks and sounds like a champ.

Sevendust rock hard and do a TON of USO gigs. These guys are all about the troops and we say HOO-AH to the Sevendust posse. In fact, the subject is dug into with DL in an interview with the man whose voice you hear belting out the ‘dust, Lajon Witherspoon. Hear an interview with them now. Take your last breath with Sevendust. Great new record. They have to come here now.

Toad the Wet Sprocket were in the area, and Dave spoke with them and did an acoustic show at HPR. Maybe next time you can get him listening to some Dio LOL. JK. Hear the interview from just a couple weeks ago.

Also Johnny Winter, and Michael Jackson guitarist Jen Batten, who also was in Jeff Beck. A very talented woman, and now Dave Lawrence has spoken to two Michael Jackson guitarists, because last year he talked with Orianthi the woman who was last with him (with the long blonde hair, and black leather outfit in his This Is It era…)

Lots of listening, check out the interview machine in the right hand column, and keep it locked on DL every weekday afternoon for your drive home on 88.1 in Honolulu, All Things Considered. By far the best afternoon show in Hawaii, which is not saying much I know, but at least I hear what is happening in the world, and the latest DL interviews and local news.

DL is on an interview rampage: Willie Nelson, Todd Rundgren, Michael McDonald and so many more it’s hard to keep track!

April 24, 2011

Capt. Good N Plenty with Plenty of Good News!

Hooah to everyone in the field, the pits, the trenches, skies, and places where America is kept safe. Make that a double Hooah!

On a lighter note, Brother Dave has been doing his own substantial assault, I must take note, going in like a good soldier on a series of major music targets and blowing them out of the water. MAHALO DUDE.

I don’t know where to begin. The photos speak for themselves. Whether it’s hanging backstage interviewing and developing fresh rock stories TO SHARE (THAT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT) with the pack of rock rats backstage at The Doobie Brothers Blaisdell Arena shindig, or breaking into a day long attack of new interviews while getting the word out on the tragedy in Japan, THERE ARE FRESH COOL CHATS TO HEAR! And I might add, with some interesting selections this year, all over the musical map with giants.

HEAR IT:

In the last few weeks, our little interview player machine below has been getting stocked with new conversations to hear—– DIAL IT IN BELOW>>>>Hear DL WITH: superhero Maui mongrel Willie Nelson, Kauai tree hugger Todd Rundgren, more Maui party van riders Michael McDonald and Pat Simmons of the Doobie Brothers (“step into the back of my van” I hear blaring somewhere LOL), Jake Shimabukuro the ukulele magician from Oahu, Johnny Winter the greatest white blues guitarist alive, and more I’m digesting slowly: Mick Fleetwood—– Another one with Mick. I’ve heard… seven of these? DL has done many interviews with Mick. ALWAYS INTERESTING. He went to Kokua for Japan and here are some of the people he interviewed and was mingling with, and again, hit the interview player below to hear the latest from DAVE LAWRENCE loaded there automatically as he puts stuff out. On that note. A warm OUT to you and yours. Keep it safe over there and be back here—- OUT.
