GTA Live
Electric Palms Hawaii presents GTA performing live at The Republik. Despite GTA’s wild, unpredictable sets, everything the duo does – both on stage and in the studio – is unified by a simple mission statement: Death To Genres. The duo’s open-minded-ness is closely tied to their Miami roots, as they were exposed to urban, electronic rock and Latin sounds in equal measure. Event starts at 9 p.m. and admission is $30-$35, plus applicable fees, with an increase the day of the show. (bampproject.com)
