So months ago we had this silly idea for anniversary shows this month. It included presenting 12 shows to celebrate 12 years of la-underground. We soon came to grips with reality a day later when we thought we'd actually have to present 12 shows. Rather quickly, 12 shows was pared down to three and with the fall of Mr. T's Bowl, three shows became two. After a huge sigh of relief, we're happily presenting two shows the size of 12, beginning tonight at ye ol' Prospector in Long Beach.
First of all, we love The Prospector. It's easily the most relaxing venue to see a show in all of Southern California as it might be the closest thing to Frontierland that we got in these parts (well, discounting Disneyland). With its old-time feel and neighborly patronage, we always feel right at home at The Prospector. Plus, since it's Tuesday, we're getting down there early for today's special, Chicken Fried Steak. But that's just a sidenote to the real reason for making the trek to the LBC.
Tonight's lineup was put together by the awesome folks at Automatic Midnight Productions and we just jumped on at the mere mention of Two Guns, Summer Darling, and Downtown/Union. We haven't seen Elba, who are on tour from Seattle, but you know they have to be in top form tonight to be on equal measure with this lineup.
We surely hope to see all two of our Long Beach readers tonight!
