I haven't seen Samiam in over 10 years. Been a fan since I first saw them at Pitzer College in Pomona playing with Jawbreaker. I know most people hate a band once they sign onto a major, honestly though, Clumsy is the best f- album! They started off strong last night but once the booze took hold it got a little sloppy. Still had a great time though... Samiam Samiam Samiam

Last Night in a downtown Los Angeles warehouse Retox played their first show. This is a new band featuring the members of The Locust, and The Festival Of Dead Deer. The short set was quick and sweet... upload the new ep for free -  threeoneg.com    Retox Retox Retox

I went to see Xibalba last Saturday and missed them once again. I'm glad I stuck around to see Ignite though, Joe Nelson come out and sang a song. Totally worth it! Jughead's Revenge also played. Ignite Ignite Jughead's Revenge

I hesitated going to the show for a few reasons but I couldn't pass up the chance to see Dangers and Off! together. I was not disappointed either. This was the FYF X-mas party with No Age, La Sera, Soft Pack, Crystal Antlers... held at two different clubs on the same street, Glasshouse and Aladdins' Jr. I made it just in time for Dangers and the place was packed. Stuck around to watch Off!, La Sera and No Age before I had to leave, sorry no pics of Crystal Antlers or the super special secret guest...who I never did figure out who it was. No Age La Sera OFF!

I missed the opening reception last night at the Chinese American Musuem. So I decided to grab the kids and take them on a field trip to downtown Los Angeles this morning. My daughter loved Olvera st, well at least the churros they were serving at a stand by the entrance. Both kids enjoyed the museum and were very respectful by getting their dirty little hands all over them... I went in support of Eyeone, but there were other artists worth checking out. Cache, Shepard Fairey, Swank, Patrick Martinez, Tempt to name a few. The exhibit runs through May 22nd of next year and is FREE- so GO! Eyeone & LeHumanBeing Shepard Fairey Patrick Martinez

Sonny Kay and Jeff Jordan teamed up for Parallel Universes at Hold Up Art in little Tokyo. The exhibit runs through December 5th and is free. I missed the opening last Saturday which I heard was a blast. Sonny Kay, if you do not know already, was the singer of VSS/Millions of Dead Comps and the guy behind GSL records.     

Jeff Capra filled in while Todd Jones was out and about with his band Nails. This was there last show before they head off to Australia for a few weeks. Good luck to them all... I'm jealous. Knife Fight Knife Fight Knife Fight
