The Spectacles? What, who, what even is that name? It’s simple we’ve got a fresher perspective on things… even if it gets a little blurry sometimes. The fun part? We can take our spectacles off, wipe em off then suddenly everything comes into focus again 🤪 We are a high-energy, genre-blending cover band serving up iconic hits with a jazzified, funky sound and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
On vocals, Thea Espinoza (Wildcards, Rhode Island) commands the room with a dynamic, soulful delivery that moves effortlessly between tenderness, and full-blown anthem mode.
Randy Hirokawa on bass (Whatever, Heather, certified badass) anchoring the groove with steady, feel-good low end (he keeps the drummer dialed in)
Holding it down on the beats is Waffles Gibbs (Hayden James, Kukuau Studio, Ragan Rae), a Big Island Cymbals endorsee, this jazz-rock drummer is guaranteed to drive the band with a pocket full of syrup, keepin it locked and sticky.
Justin Takeda (The Ing Crowd) brings versatility and edge on guitar, blending classic rock sensibility with a funky punch.
While Grayson Ishihara (Average Joes) adds depth and color on keys, shaping the band’s lush textures and emotional arcs.
Pls come and see us lol my name is Waffles, and my band gave me creative freedom to write all of this. I am so not sorry hahah.
