It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’m sure you’ve all missed me. First is that I saw The Hold Steady in Costa Mesa / Santa Ana, The Observatory. I was really surprised that they ended up in the small room. I guess they didn’t sell enough tix for the big room … I guess…

I had never been to the Bootleg Theater before seeing The Obits there a few weeks ago. It’s an interesting venue. There are 2 rooms. You enter into a room with a big stage, a bar, some tables and stools. This is the smaller of the 2 rooms. The one thing that annoyed me about…

On July 19 my new favorite band, Octagrape, played at The Prospector, in Long Beach. This is the second time I’ve seen them and the first time I bought my camera. Their record is GREAT, but live they take it to another level. Jaw on the floor, amazing! The entire band oozes with sweat and…

I’ve seen the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion a few times – mostly back in the 1990’s … But I have to say, Wednesday night (4/17/14) at The Echo in LA, they were awesome. They have not lost a step. They were bar sludgy, swamp boogey, punk rock, or something like that. It was dirty and…

2 things I hope you’ll check out. 1. I was very surprised and excited to be asked to participate in Swimmingly’s 2013 year end round up of music and food. I can’t tell you how many times I wrote and re-wrote my answers … I tried to edit and shorten each time and I still…

EDIT: I guess this is a Pre-Script instead of a “Post-Script.” The book arrived after I typed this blog entry. I was holding off on posting it because I wanted to wait until the book was released, which it is on 11/12/13! Here goes: I was really happy when I got a call from Jessica…
