When they sing "I'll be good to you," you know Go Jimmy Go means it, particularly when they return to their familiar stomping grounds at Anna Bannana's. You have to be 18, but this is a chance to catch the band that's opening for Smashmouth at the Waikiki Shell in August at a cozy venue. Omega Station will also perform.
