Artist History The show from Minneapolis started as a side project for Steve Barone while he was playing in a band called Lifter Puller. Originally, songs were recorded on a 4 track and mixed down to cassettes that were then lipsynched through a broken headset mic into a mirror. This eventually led to a career in lipsynching at parties. The quirky, low-budget songs became so popular among friends, Barone decided to get a fake band together and, with help from his roommate at the time, Jacques Wait, produced even catchier hi-fi- tongue-in-cheek tunes. Since the demise of Lifter Puller in 2000, Barone (a.k.a. Mr. Hawaii Dude) took on the Hawaii Show as a full-time project, dazzling audiences with his expert lip-synching and million-dollar smile. Finally, thanks to those good folks at Heart of a Champion records, the show's self-titled debut disc has been released. The current show features up to 10 characters (sample pics below.. minus the hot chicks) who act out and lipsynch pre-recorded bits with props and fake microphones. Some of it is rehearsed...Most of it's not.
