An intimate night at Chinatowns BĀS Bookshop

Screening of Fantastic Fungi, a descriptive time-lapse journey about the magical, mysterious and medicinal world of fungi and their power to heal, sustain and contribute to the regeneration of life on Earth that began 3.5 billion years ago. In the Kingdom of Fungi, stands a community that feeds you, heals you, and reveals nature's mystery.

The event will follow with a live performance by a local rock band, Fungi Queen.

Fungi Queen is a band from Oahu that was started by Koa Yokota (guitar/vocals/bass), Ben Robinson (drums/vocals/guitar), and Kainalu Kolivas(bass/vocals/drums) in October of 2020. Chloe Koizumi (vocals/keyboards) joined around the time the band was recording their first EP and Zach Kaplan (Drums) shortly after. Fungi Queen pulls from many different influences such as punk, psychedelic rock, garage, surf rock, post punk, reggae etc. Recently the band has released their single Flowers and is in the process of finishing their first full album to be released by early 2022. This band is one to experience live, with a keen presence of magical vibrancy both in the range of sounds and in each members performance as they switch up instruments and take stage across venues and cozy backyards of Hawaii.
