    In 1973, childhood buddies David John (DJ) Pratt and Carl James Malani Bilyeu auditioned at the Rainbow Villa for the newest popular duo, C & K. Cecilio & Kapono encouraged them to put a band together. Malani was performing solo at the Oar House in Hawaii Kai and DJ was downstairs at Chuck's in Sunlight with Kirk Thompson. They got together in DJ's grandfather's garage with Bryant Mackey Feary, who was another solo act, at the Oar House.


    The popularity of Kalapana grew and with farsighted management, they moved on to be the regular band at a new club called The Toppe Ada Shoppe. Soon, they opened concerts for Earth, Wind & Fire, Batdorf & Rodney, the Moody Blues, Sly & The Family Stone and C & K, and released their first album.

    The adept and flexible talents of these six musicians set a high standard for the future. The events to follow had an impact on the Hawaiian music scene, topping all local record charts and having Billboard magazine do a review of their work, inspiring musicians and groups then and to the present day. The songs on Kalapana (all written and/or arranged by the group) and on Kalapana II will remain the classics of a new era in Contemporary Hawaiian music style. They enjoyed the continued airplay on local and mainland staions, as well as, in Japan, Philippines, the South Pacific, and Europe.
