The Cheap Leis At The Flying Elephant

by The Editors on August 16, 2007

Hfep LogoTonight enjoy the mellow warm sounds of the Hawaiian Islands in an authentic Irish pub as Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub and Grill (where Tamarack meets The 5) presents The Cheap Leis featuring former pro skater Adrian Demain, San Diego music and action sports industry icon O (the power pop genius behind the bands Olivelawn, Fluf, and Reeve Oliver), and a couple other hitters you may recognize.

There is no reason to miss this show. If you haven’t seen the Cheap Leis, watch this clip and you’ll get a little idea of what will be going down tonight. And, if you’re lucky you’ll get to hear their cover of The Misfits “I Turned Into A Martian” sung as “I Turned Into a Tahitian.”

Hensley’s Flying Elephant Grand Opening

by The Editors on July 12, 2007

HensleyMost of the time we’re quite happy linking out to other media sites for coverage, however, occasionally we’re bummed when we miss covering an event in person. The Grand Opening of Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub and Grill, at Tamarack and I-5 is one we should have attended. Luckily for us Amanda Branam and photographer Sean DuFrene of Todayslocalnews.com covered all the goodness as former Flogging Molly accordionist Matt Hensley celebrated with friends and family. It looks like the pro skateboarder is finally settling down.

“I’ve always made a living doing odd things. I made a living skateboarding and playing accordion. I still play accordion, and now I own a pub,” said Hensley, who celebrated the grand opening of Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub and Grill yesterday in Carlsbad. “Owning this pub is probably the most legitimate thing I’ve done in my life. Or the most common thing.”
