Janky Smooth Archives: FIDLAR *Cheap Beer* at the Observatory 9/19/13

In honor of FIDLAR playing their first show in a year at the Regent Theater in Downtown L.A. tonight, we dug in our archives to find this video of FIDLAR kicking off their first headlining tour at The Observatory in Santa Ana.  They were supported by The Orwells, Meat Market and The Garden and opened their set with Cheap Beer.  It got REALLY nutty in the best possible way.  Subscribe to our new YouTube Channel for exclusive live video   We’re very curious to hear the new material.  Will it be a new album full of classics like their self titled album released all the way back on January 22, 2013 or will it be more like the direction that they took on the song Awkward?  We definitely hope they keep pushing the aggression envelope. Look out for our review of tonights show that will be posted this weekend and see you there.

It can only be described as authenticity. That’s the best way to describe the band FIDLAR; Authentic. I’m not filthy, on drugs, hopeless or confused anymore. I’m nowhere near as angry as I used to be but listening to FIDLAR takes me to that place where I don’t give a fuck, again. I wanted to talk to Zac Carper to see if the son of a world class surfboard shaper and brothers who’s dad was part of a Southern California Punk Rock Pantheon actually walked the walk. After this conversation, I need no further convincing. This interview was conducted on October 21st 2013 Danny:             Zac what’s  going on bud? Zac:            What’s up my dude? Danny:        How are you? Zac:            Good how is California right now? Danny:             Pretty steady as usual, gorgeous day except now that the kids are back in school the beaches aren’t crowded so that is always nice. Zac:            Stoked. Danny:
