SECOND ALBUM DELAYED BY IRAQ WAR

Play music not war. Make loud banging noises on drums, strum guitars, sing your head off...better than shooting each other. Apparently shooting each other is a priority at the moment.

Kupa'aina's second album has been delayed a month because the market in drum cymbals is at low inventory. Apparently the same metal used to make cymbals are also being used to make weapons....my guess: its used for bullet casings.

We can't record until Jay's drum kit is up to par.
