Music, a burlesque show, and an 80′s costume contest? If that’s your cup of tea, check out Oil in the Alley at The Dragon UpstairsIt’s a 90-minute show by Oil in the Alley performing original songs with improvised lyrics.

More music for you audiophiles, check out Mike Love Duo at O’toole’s. Great indie song-writing with a reggae/ska feel. Parking available at Aloha Tower, Marks Garage, Beretania-Nuuanu, or Macy’s
