History
The 3 Local Boyz was a short lived local Hawaiian radio disc jockey group of I-94 (KIKI-FM) radio station in the late 1980s to the 1990s known by their nicknames "Jimmy Da Geek" (James Bender), Lanai Boyee (Grant Tabura), and Alan "da Cruzah" Oda with Matt Young as record producer and recorder. "Hawaiian Ryan" (Ryan Matsumoto), featured on their album, attended Kaiser High School where he met both Lanai Boyee and Jimmy Da Geek. Oda then left the group and was replaced by Matsumoto. They have produced parody songs on their 1990 album "Rasta Revolution" that can be described as being fobbish.
The "3 Local Boyz" then became the 2 Local Boyz with the "Lanai Boyee" and "Jimmy Da Geek" releasing another album. Then "Jimmy Da Geek" left I-94 and was replaced by comedian "Augie T" (or Augie Tulba). The new duo released a CD called "Home in da Housing."
All individuals have moved on. Jimmy Da Geek has gone on to radio for KCCN-FM then KQMQ-FM and released his own solo album, titled "So So Haolefied." He now resides in Mesa, Arizona. Alan "da Cruzah" Oda later became a radio executive, went to California and Arizona, then retired radio and moved home to Hilo. Hawaiian Ryan too released his own album ("Saving Ryan's Privates") and did Christian rock while pursuing comedy. His radio career landed him at stations like KQMQ and KPHW. He now works for WRDW-FM in Philadelphia. Lanai went on to radio for KDNN.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
