Paradox Lockdown seeks happiness and a shot at being professional musicians

scream blurted out from Jonathan during the middle of his vocals. A look from a father in the audience. A kick of the microphone stand prior to belting out a lyric. These are but a few career highlights of the band members in the local group Paradox Lockdowns – so far. The four Kauai musicians between the ages of 17 and 19 are banking on a whole lot more. Next week, they will go all in with a kitty of about $20,000 for “starter funds” on their adventure to California. High hopes and one-way tickets are fueling their ambitions to be the next noted indie band. “We can’t think of anything else,” said the band’s leader Cameron Williamson, singer/songwriter/keyboard player. The 17-year-old Kapaa High School graduate is considered the group’s “hopeless optimist.” Zack Silva, a 2013 Kauai High School graduate is “The worrier” and plays the drums.

And Jonathan Obiano, a 2014 Kapaa High School graduate and singer/keyboard player, is thought to be “the emotional one.” The group’s bass player Kai Olson, a 2013 Kauai High School graduate, is considered the group’s “comic relief.” And when you put them together on stage, they are in the zone. “I just like being on the stage,” Williamson said. “It’s all about putting the emotions and energy into the song and giving the best performance I can give.” They would love to be touring. But for now, they said they would be happy to make money, making music.

“We’re not on the super fast track to fame,” Obiano said. “We just want to be able to live off our music.” While Obiano’s goal is to be successful and happy, Silva wants to keep having fun, because that is why he loves performing. He’s been into music since he was 5 years old and played piano. Now, he is passionate about the drums. “I love to rage and go hard,” Silva said. The drummer used to look up at the age of 8 and see his dad on stage in the group he performed in named Rumbletone. “I thought my Dad was the bull,” Silva said. He has switched places

with his dad, who watches from the audience. “Now, he thinks I’m the bull,” Silva said. Earlier this year the band, which formed in 2010, was nominated for a Na Hoku Hanohano Award for their CD “Dateless in July” in the alternative music category. Williamson’s song, “Mona Lisa,” took third place this year at the Kauai Music Festival, where he and the band also performed. The four performers will share a two-bedroom home in Costa Mesa while they pursue their dreams. They say they don’t have a stereotypical band lifestyle. “We’re all pretty goody

two shoes,” Williamson said. “We’re not what you’d expect from a rock band,” Obiano added. He summed up what he thinks is the worst thing that could happen to them on the Mainland. “We all hate each other and the band breaks up,” Obiano said with a laugh

and one of those dimpled smiles. Williamson and Obiano can be seen performing at the Pau Hana Grill and Bar in Kappa from 6:30 to 8:30 tonight for the last time before they head to California on Sept. 6. Info: www.paradoxlockdown.com

Street Food at the Kauai Marriott Resort

TASTE OF KAUAI

MARTA LANE

ukui’s Restaurant is tucked along one of the largest family resort pools in Hawaii in the heart of the Kauai Marriott Resort at Kalapaki Beach. Palm and plumeria trees rustle lazily as diners, shaded under a flowing roof, enjoy a meal in the open-air dining room. At the back of the restaurant, near Toro Tei sushi bar, guests can enjoy unlimited amounts of street food every Saturday night. If you’re in the mood for a light and delicious meal, try Kukui’s traditional Portuguese bean soup ($8) made with ham-hocks and kidney beans. The chef crafted soup ($7) changes nightly, but it’s always infused with local flavors.

grass-fed beef on the Westside. The bar menu includes the Marriott burger ($17), which is made with Makaweli ground beef, bacon and cheddar cheese. On the Kukui’s menu, the “Kauai Grown Makaweli Meat Company Nightly Cut” (market price) section of the menu rotates nightly. Chef Higa transforms cuts of rib eye, strip-loin, filet, heart, tri-tip, skirt steak or sirloin steak into flavorful and unique dishes. Each meal is served with soup or salad, sautéed fresh vegetables and a choice of white rice, forbidden (black Thai) rice or mashed potatoes. About six weeks ago, Kukui’s started hosting a “Street Food Tasting”, which is available every Saturday evening. For a nominal fee ($35 not including beer or cocktails), diners can enjoy the view from Kalapaki Bay while filling up on unlimited servings of street food from different cultures. Just behind Toro Tei sushi bar, and about 50 yards from the beach, Sous Chef Rey Montemayor and Charie Zabala cook on a large grill.

that is grilled and topped with fresh tomatoes, grilled onions, queso fresco and cilantro and served in a corn tortilla. On the night I went, they also served a flavorful taco made with tender Makaweli beef tongue. It was a special and may not be available every Saturday. Kofta are Middle Eastern meatballs made with Makaweli grass-fed lamb, which is raised on Niihau. The lamb is ground and blended with cinnamon, cumin, onions and parsley and molded onto a stick before it’s grilled. It’s served with grilled cherry tomatoes, naan (flatbread) and

a thick tzaziki made with Greek yogurt, fresh mint and cucumber. Every week, Chef Higa also receives whole hogs that were raised at Kaneshiro Farms in Omao. On Saturdays, tender slices of Chinese-style pork belly are piled into a soft buns and topped with hoisin sauce and cilantro. Other featured dishes include chicken tikka kebobs with spiced curry chickpeas; pork potstickers with yuzu ponzu sauce and fried noodles; Cali Inside Out sushi rolls; and spicy ahi poke over steamed rice. If you have room for dessert, you can have butter mochi,

tropical shooters and Koloa Rum Cake. The Street Food Tasting is a fantastic deal if you like a lot of good food for a little bit of money, and a delicious way to spend time with family and friends.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JOCELYN NOVECK

‘Journey’ nice ingredients, bland result T

ake one Oscar-winning British actress. Add an appealing supporting cast. Lather on the picturesque French countryside. Sprinkle liberally with gorgeous food shots, from bubbling, spicy Indian delicacies to perfectly composed French plates of pigeon and truffles. And then heap on a heavy serving of corn. What is it about recent food movies — Jon Favreau’s “Chef,” and now Lasse Hallstrom’s “The Hundred-Foot Journey” — that, despite their virtues, they have to be so darned corny, so dewy-eyed, with everything tied up in a feel-good bow at the end? It’s as if all that great food on set had this tranquilizing effect, sending everyone off, sated and smiling, with great life lessons learned, into a rosy sunset. That’s not to say there isn’t

a lot going for “Journey” (as there was for the enjoyable “Chef”), an adaptation of the novel by Richard Morais about an Indian family that opens a restaurant in a French village. Besides the above-mentioned virtues, notably the always delightful Helen Mirren and the entertaining Indian actor Om Puri, it has the absurdly good-looking couple of Manish Dayal, as a gifted young Indian chef, and Charlotte Le Bon, as the gorgeous sous-chef who teaches him the joys of haute cuisine (and not much more — this is a PG-rated movie). It also has a script by the talented Steven Knight, and a score by Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman (“Slumdog Millionaire”). Oh, and it’s produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. Given all these lovely ingredients, then, why is the final

Their budding relationship, though, plays second fiddle to their professional goals. Mme. Mallory, recognizing Hassan’s talent, asks him to join her kitchen. Suddenly, they’re competitors. But Hassan is the clear star. His talent takes him as far as Paris, where he becomes the chef of a flashy restaurant that practices molecular gastronomy. Suddenly, Hassan becomes edgy and hip. He’s profiled in top magazines. But is he truly happy? Can he forget the quaint pleasures of the village where he started, or the gorgeous Marguerite, or the soulful pleasures of simple food? For the answers, you’ll have to see the film, and to be sure, it will be a pleasurable two hours — though lacking, cinematically, in a key ingredient that Hassan, in fact, knows a lot about: A little spice.

ooking for something unique? The Kauai Island Crafters Fairs offers a wide assortment of locally made products, from textiles to jewelry and other speciality work, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Church of the Pacific in Princeville. Among those offering different items will be Stella Pimental, a floral designer who makes traditional and ikebana silk flower arrangements, hair pieces, Hawaiian Hula Bears, Kauai Pimental Beach Balls, and “Island Angels” made from ornamental shells and beach glass. “I am so glad that Debbie is doing the different craft fairs for us to have more opportunities to show people our artistic work,” Pimental said about event organizer Debbie Yanagihara.

stores. Pimental’s passion for craftwork started from her work ethic. It is a hobby that started from never wanting to be idle. “I have busy hands and am always doing something,” she said. It was her aunt that instilled a love of jewelry making and crochet. Pimental would visit her home where the two would spend the day beachcombing for driftwood pieces and shells. “She nurtured my interest,” Pimental said. “I was always so intrigued with her creativity and my dad was also very artistic.” Born and raised in Kalaheo as the eldest of seven children, Pimental enjoyed bringing in flowers each day for the home from her mother’s rose bushes. As for a hobby of profit, Pimental said one can never recoup the time and effort put into this “labor of love” in terms of dollars. She earns enough to pay her booth fee and then some but the reward of the craft fair is shown by the appreciation of customers and other vendors. “It is partly a social thing,

too, where we sell craft to people who enjoy what we make and that speaks to the creativity a little more,” she said. “Debbie is also a great coordinator and fun to work with.” Vanessa Louis of Koloa said her “ocean treasure” jewelry of shells started out as a therapeutic escape from life as a working, single mother of two children. This artistic outlet took hold and now she brings Louis the family along to look at the various island beaches. “It became kind of a family thing with my two kids, mother and grandmother,” Louis said. “We go all over the island from the south to the west and to the north to find shells in the morning and the evening.” After three years, her friends and family encouraged her to showcase her talents at craft fairs. The idea of making money from her hobby intrigued her. “Being a single mom, it was easier for me to have my own business,” she said.

“It was cheaper than hiring a baby sitter and having to get a normal job because I can do more on my own time.” After starting at the Hanapepe Art Walk on Friday nights, Louis said her

She purchases the metal chains or wire, hooks and other hardware.
