What's happening internet fam!  So, I'm still working on "A Ship for One", which I'm also thinking of retitling.  I have built an entire new studio, including an amazing new drum set, so expect some really good drums (finally!) coming to the album.

The LeperKhanz went on tour in March, and it was a success.  The sound wasn't perfect at several venues, so there's some work to be done before the next tour.  Nino is actively working on updating the LeperKhanz website, and maybe booking another tour in the near future.  There's even been talk of a LeperKhanz tour in Hawaii!

I've been playing solo basically every single week, at least once a week, usually more, live at a public venue.  I've also been working with a new band "Brown Sugar Mochi", and we are getting really tight and doing some of my more unusual hits, including some of the old hits from the Commuinzt V!

Besides that I'm still working aggressively and consistently on OpenAirShips.com, helping my IT clients, and trying to do what I can for my kids (sadly, not much).

Two deaths really hit me hard this year:  Our beloved manager in "The Bleeding Irish", and also the trumpet player for "The LeperKhanz" Don Carter passed away.  It was brutal to hear about but at least I got to reconnect briefly with some of his family members.  Love you brother!  See you on the other side.

Secondly, my good buddy Ian Sanders from "Trouble in Paradise" also passed away.  I had just seen him weeks before where he was living in Vegas, and it was clear that Hawaii would have been a better fit for him.  Below is my eulogy for Ian:

As a result of Ian's tragic death, Nicole and I decided to meet up and record some songs.  So now there's a new album that should be published everywhere shortly, it's just a live stereo recording, but it's always fun to sing with Nicole.

The album's here on the website already:

Hey Fam!  So My Entire YouTube Account was deleted by the censorious insane communists over at google.

For the record:  They were censoring me because I quit the Department of Health in Hawaii as a whistle blower.  I was the Covid-19 Surge Response Logistics Coordinator for the entire state of Hawaii.

Nevertheless, I've been continuing to play live shows all over Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and of course also in Hawaii.

I also released the album Deep Kutz in the last 12 months, am continuing to work on "A Ship For One", and have kept running my Anti-Corporate News show "rhY'z Newz" which you can find over on Rumble and Bitchute.

Love you all, and let me know if you want me to come play a gig, I'm already warming up the Christmas music again this year!

Kind of hate how I sound during interviews.  But I had a GREAT time catching up with Mary!  Thanks cuz!!

​Still working like a dog on the album and really it's becoming something!

Nicole recently made it back from the East Coast, and gave Ian and I a holler.

​It's been super great singing again with these guys!  Stay posted for exciting upcoming dates and recordings!

Lately I've been working very hard on a new album, which will have lots of new material never previously published, anywhere other than live YouTube videos etc..

There's a lot of work still being done (including backup women singers, drums, lots else), but the sound is already shaping up quite a bit, and you can hear the rough draft of the album right here if you'd like to provide feedback etc..

Kilo Fire is ready to play any gigs on Oahu right now today, and as usual, the rhY solo show is possible literally anywhere in the world for the right price.

Love you all internet fam!

I've been meaning to put out a Christmas album for more than two decades now.  While not the album I had in mind, replete with choir, orchestra, jingle bells, and a full brass band, this is an album of Christmas songs, performed organically, and including my new original christmas song Christmas Alone.  Hope you like it, Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy Birthday to me!

Full Christmas Playlist

Been doing a ton of work with my new producer Chris Lanthier, and also resurrected my Green Screen Setup, so you can expect lots more Green Screen Videos:​

Updating the website, recording a lot of new videos.  Working on the new Album(s) (still).  Finally finished digital distribution for "Corporate America".  Only took 3 years!  LOL  Playing a LOT locally in Honolulu.  Also working with a new producer from New Orleans.  It's been a great year already, and there's still 2 months to go!  <3 Internet Fam!!!

The LeperKhanz are doing a surprise show on September 28 with many other Irish bands at the Get ShamRocked festival.
