PACIFICA - vocalist Kika Diama, guitarist John Mata & Jay Donato, bassist/vocalist Ikaika Trujillo, drummer Richard Jumper - individuals who grew/lived/played/danced/evolved in their native land of Hawaii, spent half a year concentrating their energies to create what would be their first "proper" recording. The end product "Transient Colors [EP]", (available on BigCartel, itunes, and SmartPunk) would reminisce of Circa Survive to Thrice while including diverse singles ("Isolated Black Shell") to sing along anthems ("Flight of The Rabbit").
As of March '08, Pacifica has relocated to Orange County, California. Since then, they have won Breakthru Entertainments Battle of the Bands, beating out of 23 established bands and gained sponsorship from Battlefield Custom Drums. They have also played Audio Overload and SoCal Rock Revolution Festivals and have opened up for bands such as Finch, Kottonmouth Kings, Lower Definition, Emery, Daphne Loves Derby to name a few.
Currently, they are writing with a handful of NEW songs you can catch live and preparing for pre-production to their follow up of 'Transient Colors' to be recorded with Joel Piper of the band CONFIDE in Fresno, CA. There is definitely more coming ;]

What's up! We've been pretty good. Not playing too much shows lately cause we're recording. Turns out we're recording with the same dude as you guys. We'll definitely check you guys out on facebook and all that good stuff.
idk but I'll ask my buddies in melanoid cause they play a lot of OC shows and they're never presale shows cause I hate having to sell a min amount to play a show that might be crappy *cough*chain*cough*
