Molinari: "As a kid I was given two books that
made as big an impression on me as anything
could. They were by Woody Guthrie and Jack
Kerouac and along with the songs and music that
were later handed down to me, they helped
convince me that my life should and would be
some kind of journey on the road that some call
bound for glory and others the road less
traveled by". |

The Mau Maus |

 |
|
Bit of a rumble the other
night at new hot spot in town the Hong Kong Cafe
when a couple of Weirdos challenged a couple of
Mau Mau's to a showdown. It may have had
something to do with an old accusation made by
the Mau Mau's that the Weirdos were a bunch of
has-beens…but everybody was too drunk to know
for sure. Vague punches were traded, threats
were exchanged, Rick Wilder's girl friend
Charlotte tried to calm everyone down (see
picture), later there even was a car chase and
some bloody noses but the incident was over the
next day after everyone involved agreed that
things had gotten out of hand and made peace
over the telephone. |

Francisco The Man |
|
 |
|
Not even two years old, SoCal collective Francisco the Man has set out for the general sonic space occupied by fellow Orange Countians Limbeck. Singer-guitarist Scotty Cantino's orchestrated, twang'd-up take on surfside pop hits me somewhere between Wilco and the Pernice Brothers, maybe in a Band of Horses register and probably more youthfully optimistic. Harmonies and keys from bandmate
Joel Bond make listening to Francisco the Man
wrestling with its burdens very unburdening
indeed. |

Cigarette Bums |
|
 |
|
"Theirs is a Dylan-meets-Daniel-Johnston-meets-Replacements-meets-Beefheart smash up that's a real pleasure to watch. The Bums play repetitious, folksy stanzas with a snot-nosed, garage band delivery and they throw in an occasional, speedy jazz-intoned riff for flare"-L.A. Weekly
The Cigarette Bums sounded jubilant and full of life with their complete lineup. The sax, bass, and guitar seemed to mesh extremely well on this particular night. Many of their songs have grown on me and I find myself anticipating “Jailbird”.-travis moore
"The Bums’ music is rootsy-expressive, postpunk quirky and as solidly diverting as anything squalling in Silverlake at the present moment"-Ron Garmon |

|
Stab City is a fiery trio from L.A. that
rocks the dirty, sludgy riffs with a bit of the garage rock
blues. These three dudes say they're influenced by
boisterous bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Mclusky.
And you know? They're right. Stab City's songs are big and
bad and fun, just like those other two more famous bands.
If you've got ants in your pants like these three dudes do,
there's no use sitting around the apartment. Might as well
go out and rock it. |

Benefit Show for Tom of the Paladins
featuring:
Candye Kane, Karling Abbeygate, Thomas
Yearsleys Exotiki and The Blasters
[DETAILS]
 |
“The Toughest Girl Alive” is the name of
Candyes’ original song and the title of her soon to be
released memoir and stage play. It is also an apt
description of the jump blues singer and songwriter from
East Los Angeles who has earned this moniker the hard way.
Nominated for a 2008 National Blues Foundation Award for
Best Blues Contemporary Female (the highest honor for blues
artists) and beating down pancreatic cancer the same year,
Kane is one tough cookie. She has performed worldwide for
presidents and movie stars, but her path to success was not
always glamorous or easy. |

The Crowd |

 |
|
By no stretch of the
imagination, what you now hear will instantly
become a bona fide piece of Southern California
Punk Rock History. This is fact. The normal
half-life of the aimless punk band is somewhere
near 5 months, the time it takes for a band to
lose 50% of its quality, before turning to
complete shit within about 5 half-lives (2
years). Punk rock evolution runs on a Darwinist
time clock: band forms, band writes inspired
music, band records seminal album, band spends
rest of its collective life trying to repeat
steps 2 and 3 in futility, all the while the
half-lives tick away. |
