The Kona Rogues. A rebellious as hell Celtic-Punk band hailing from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, blending good old fashioned Punk with traditional Irish and Scottish roots. Formed around 2019 by singer-songwriter Irminsul and fiery violinist Joanie Collins—after a chance encounter at a St. Patrick’s Day gig—the group features island icons like multi-instrumentalist Seishi Saegusa, smashing conventions in a scene dominated by traditionalists. Their 2020 debut album, Batten Down The Hatches, delivered a mix of high-octane covers like ‘The Foggy Dew’ and originals such as ‘The Pikes Will Be Together’ telling the complicated history of the Irish rebellion in style. An insurrection we can dance to!
