Ty in Morning, Ty in the Evening: Ty Segall at Teragram Ballroom
Danny Baraz
September 22, 2021
Words by: Danny Baraz Photos by: Albert Licano On Monday night, Sept 13th, I went to see night 3 of 4 of Ty Segall’s stand at The Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles. Monday day I skated up to the Venice Skatepark, blasting Ty Segall on my Bluetooth speaker, and ran into… Ty Segall. WTF? What can we at Janky Smooth say about Ty Segall that myself and many other contributors haven’t said before? How about this- Ty Segall and his incredible band of wizards spanned their entire, lengthy set list, didn’t play one song that I absolutely “had to hear” and it was still one of the best shows I’ve seen in while. Forget the songs- just the intro to songs, the spatial feedback vibrating the perfect acoustics of the Teragram Ballroom and everyone in it were enough of a show on their own. No small feat for a song writer. But Ty Segall dispels the myth that I’ve heard many espouse, that good song writers aren’t usually prodigious musicians, into the recycle bin of conventional wisdom. Ty’s latest studio effort, “Harmonizer” was touted as a surprise album but how could it surprise anyone who has followed his massive catalog

September 21, 2021
Photos by: Albert Licano Rotting Out held their highly-anticipated album release party for Ronin at Chain Reaction but a few days later, they stopped by 1720 to bring the party to Los Angeles. This wasn’t just about celebrating Ronin though, this was a tribute to Power Trip singer Riley Gale, who never got a proper live goodbye in Los Angeles after tragically losing his life in 2020. Rotting Out brought so much power and excitement along with Dead Heat and the rest of the openers. These photos are completely off the wall.

Time is an Illusion: The Circle Jerks at Pappy and Harriet’s
Danny Baraz
September 9, 2021
When you think of punk rock you don’t automatically think of Pioneertown, California or Pappy and Harriet’s–at least, you didn’t until Sunday night when the Circle Jerks played their first gig in over a decade, supported by Negative Approach. related content: Keith Morris Speaks Freely On Lawsuits, Politics & Punk Rock It was a new moon in the Yucca Valley. There was a translucent, blue glow on the edges of the horizon when I pulled up to Pappy and Harriet’s at dusk. Seemingly a few moments later, the sky was dark and you could see the edges of the galaxy in the night sky. I could almost make out the ghosts of Darby Crash and GG Allin in the distance, floating up above us like Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. What a setting for Keith Morris, Greg Hetson, Zander Schloss and the latest addition to The Circle Jerks-the hard hitting, perfectly metered percussive Jedi Master, Joey Castillo. The buildup to this show was palpable. Not only had it been over 10 years since the Circle Jerks played a show but up until recently, it had been awhile since ANYONE had played a show. This reunion was scheduled for 2020 but

This Ain’t No Reset, It’s A Misdirect: An Evening With Between The Buried And Me At Teragram Ballroom
Rob Shepyer
September 6, 2021
Sometimes I go to concerts without knowing anything about the band I’m about to see. In the case of Between the Buried and Me, I knew they were a prog band but because of the time they grew in popularity, part of me lumped them into the metalcore side of the New Wave of American Metal. On my drive to the Teragram Ballroom, where the band was hosting an “Evening With” concert, I treated myself to a listen of their 2021 release, Colors II, which I fell in love with very quickly. I almost felt a sense of shame having not delved into BTBAM until that moment. This album was the sequel to what is widely considered their most important record, 2007’s Colors. Although this album would be touched upon in the first part of BTBAM’s set tonight, the 2nd half of the evening would be devoted to their album after, 2009’s The Great Misdirect. related content: When A Band’s Lyrics Become Real: Megadeth At Fivepoint Amphitheatre The Great Misdirect seemed like a rather esoteric choice to play from start to finish to many in the audience. There is so much going on thematically, lyrically and musically in that record, that you could spend
