Did everyone enjoy Motley Crüe day yesterday? We sure did. In honor of the Crüe we went out and got wasted on vodka, freebased some cocaine, and then wandered into Glendale thinking Colorado Blvd. was Sunset Blvd. and The Scene was the Rainbow only to see our friends Castledoor and The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra playing. Yeah, crazy right? In the audience: Members of Amnion, Dead Rock West, Death to Anders, The Monolators, The Henry Clay People, Le Switch, Culture Club, Lamb of God, Vixen, Einstuerzende Neubauten, and others... Also, congrats to Hello Dragon on the release of their new album, now available at your fine online retailer. Go buy it.
Peanut Butter Wolf one-up's his two previous "PBW vs. L.A." weeks by performing eight different styles (music video set) at eight different clubs on eight consecutive nights, beginning tonight at Grand Star and ending 08/08/08 at some private party. More details by calling 1-(888)-WOLF4LA or go here.
The Blank Tapes and Featherbeard on Demolisten tonight. The Monolators will also be in studio to preview tracks from their forthcoming new album. Also tonight, we must remember to catch The Airborne Toxic Event on Conan O'Brien just to see the post-"great show" handshake they'll be doing. We have bets on who Conan will shake hands with first. Earlier this evening, be sure to check out "First Fridays" at Mr. T's Bowl with Seasons, boxViolet, and others. Elsewhere, Spacehog opens for The Subways at the Troubadour. Pop Levi opens for Friendly Fires. Z-Trip and Friends at the Echoplex. Aushua, White Arrows, Love Lies Sleeping, and others at Spaceland (followed by a TATE viewing party). Upsilon Acrux and others at Cafe Mariposa. And Sneaker Pimps have a big party thing at Crash Mansion with Public Enemy, Ghostface Killah, and others... Saturday, Dengue Fever plays the El Rey with Afternoons and others. Run Run Run, The Coral Sea, and Voyager One at Spaceland. Rocco Deluca, HoneyHoney, Caitlin Crosby and others at the Hotel Cafe. And Hive's August Group art show... Sunday, Obi Best begins their Sunday residency at Tangier. Wires on Fire and Rumspringa at The Echo. The Health Club, Dirt Dress, and others at Mr. T's Bowl. Blank Blue and others at The Prospector. And ExitMusic, The Terrapin, and others down at Saint Rocke.
Also, if you didn't catch the lovely Lenka this morning on "Morning Becomes Eclectic" check it out here.
