808 Scene Zine Sponsor

Büsekrüs is a local rock band that musically dances on the lines of modern Pop-Punk, Emo and Alternative. (Think All Time Low, Plain White Tees , Cartel). Büsekrüs is made up of three pieces: brothers Marcus Busekrus  (Lead vocals/guitar) and LJ Busekrus (backup vocals/bass) as well as long-time friend Mike Jones (drums). Hailing from Kailua, these boys have been playing music together off and on since 1998, but only formed their current project in 2006. They love writing and performing music and plan to make their part time passion into their full time careers in the very near future.

With one Hawaii Music Award winning album under their belts and another album in the works right now (due out in Sept, 2009) as well as one US West Coast Tour under their belts and another on the way (planned for Sept, 2009), these boys are progressing with no lack of haste or fervor .

Their goals are twofold – to chase their dream of being professional musicans persistently until they reach it, and to cultivate the local rock scene around them as they do so. “We love the scene here and we want nothing more than to see it grow in leaps and bounds. The attitudes of all the bands here are so supportive. There  is so much talent, so much hard work and so much Aloha here, but there is comparatively negligible support from radio or venues. But this just makes us that much stronger as a whole. Anybody who makes it happen here already has a head start compared to those who make it happen on the mainland. And we would love to see everybody here get their chance to make it happen.”
