Babes in Toyland

Babes in Toyland Still Inspire and Terrify at The Roxy

Kat Bjelland once described Babes in Toyland as “full frontal assault” and after last night, mommy mommy I need an adult. The Roxy was packed to its crusty edges with riot grrrls and boys, riot moms (thanks for the term, Tom Morello), and celebrities alike. Hell, the first person we

The Warlocks and Weed Smoke Don’t Mix at The Bootleg

I was excited to see The Warlocks for the first time. Attendees of Wednesday’s show at The Bootleg Theater in L.A. were treated to a stacked lineup of opening acts in both rooms of the venue. It was a well crafted build up to a band that helped define the

Unknown Mortal Orchestra Cover Art

Preview: “Multi Love” from Unknown Mortal Orchestra

It seems like every two years, like clockwork, we are blessed with a new Unknown Mortal Orchestra release.  Music snobs insist on a certain type of consistency without predictability from their favorite artists.  I received an advanced copy of the title track from Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s forthcoming release last week but

TULIPS

Dum Dum Zine Party with TULIPS and So Many Wizards

The dream of the 90’s is alive in Portland Echo Park. Every time I venture into the hipster-friendly, conveniently gentrified, Echo Park, I can’t help but reference this Portlandia bit. It just rings so true here. A print media zine release party, conveniently located next to a record store; the

I’m sure Long Beach has plenty of great bars and venues but lately it seems that Alex’s Bar is really the only one worth going to. Affordable drinks and some of the best line ups I’ve ever seen at a bar. Last night Alex’s Bar brought us a performance from

The LA Art/Book Fair with Thurston Moore and Ho99o9

Los Angeles- our Art, Literature, Music, Culture and Tacos Can No Longer Be Easily Dismissed L.A. is in the midst of a renaissance.  While most might call it gentrification, those people are not in the trenches that are being filled with artists, students, activists, authors and poets.  While Manhattan and even

PPL MVR at Bardot: The Mystery Deepens

Spoiler alert; PPL MVR are insane. Upon sinking into the jam-packed crowd at the opulent Bardot Lounge in Hollywood, it became apparent that something was in the air aside from the looming second hand, cancer inducing cigarette smoke that slowly wafted out of the pseudo open air venue.  From the

Ho99o9

Ho99o9 recruit your children to their Death Kult at The Church of Fun

Ho99o9 are the worst nightmare of white, middle America. The genre twisting duo piss on your patriotism, your politics, your god and your daughter as she explores her desires for fetish and black cock. Not only do they influence punk kids but they also have the hip hop heads.  Every

Alex’s Bar: 15 years of punk gratitude w/Rocket from the Crypt

Last night, Alex’s Bar in Long Beach celebrated the first of two nights dedicated to the amazing punk rock bar’s 15 year anniversary. It’s not just the extreme care and thoughtfulness that is taken when booking bands or the red light, burlesque vibe and the fact that they don’t murder
