What? Chain Gang of 1974 goes on first then Class Actress? It should of been the other way around. Sure enough, Chain Gang of 1974...K!LLED !T. They where GREAT again, even though they had a little glitch in the beginning.

If you have not yet heard of them, I recommend you get the new album, "Wayward Fire". It's good and who was also good, was the temporary hire on keys. Kamtin Mohager (Lead Singer) told us. "he just learned the notes yesturday". Now that's, impressive. I wonder what happened to the other guy? Well, what ever happened, I can not wait to see them again at Lollapalooza in August. H3LL Y3A!

Class Actress was class actress. I was bored after the second songs. I walked around to people watch and I was impressed by the one's into the show. So I went up front again to see what I was not getting. Which I still did not.

I came close not coming tonight, until they added 1974. Then I was, "okay, let's do this". When I was outside to get in, there was a HUGE line on the other side who did not have tickets. I heard the security guard say, "tonight's show is SOLD OUT". Cool.

Washed.Out are the headliner's tonight and they K!CKED A$$! I have not heard anything about there live shows and sure enough, I would see them again. They had me shaking to almost every song they played. Then here comes the jerks. People started to push to the front and of course, I get stuck behind them. All I see now, is the big cabbage head with lots of hair who is flop sweating like CRAZY. Nice. At least he was not drunk, right?

I missed the first show they had at SpaceLand (aka Satellite) because of something, I forgot. But, watching tonight's show, I wanted to kick my self for not going. They where funny and GOOD.

At first, they started out not so what I expected. They came out holding up cabbage for Christ Sakes! When I saw that, I was already thinking, "they are one of those bands". After a couple of songs, I was pulled in. Not knowing what to except from them, they had me laughing and moving. I like the little dance numbers they would have after every third song. They would do these bad choreographed dance moves with throw back music from the 80's and 90's and it was FUNNY to watch. The girls next to me kept calling it, "genius". I had to stop for a moment. Genius? Funny, yea, but genius? I had to laugh because THAT was a genius remark.

I looked into the crowd and I notice ALOT of young girls wearing that signature little head band (just like Darwin Deez). Cute. So cabbage was handed to some people into the crowd and of course, some had to start throwing it around. Darwin told them to stop, but you would still see a leaf going by. Funny.

At least this show was entertaining because the other day, I went to see Jersey Shoresical...no comment, but a GENIUS idea. The only thing they need to do is, recast EVERYONE with people who can actually sing and act the part. But I bet, this is gonna be a hit, just like, Rock of Ages.

"Straight people be fucking because it takes two of you to make one of us" - Cawell

Tonights event at The EchoPlex is called TrannyShack and they had some Drag Performances first. The announcer told us that the show is running late. Of course it is. It was drag after drag and some where good and others where okay. The Teletubbies piece was bizarre. You had to be on something to enjoy. That $H!T was...CRAZY.

Then, came out Cazwell. He had this bedazzled Puerto Rican boxer jacket on with a huge star on the back. I thought he was white or does he like Puerto Ricans? Nice. Cazwell opened up with, "Get My Money Back". You would think he would close the night with that song. There was no encore. He just got off stage and another show was gone and so was I.

I love that Cazwell is just hitting (it must be the videos). He was part of the early ElectroClash movement in New York City. During that time, he went under Morplay. He was funny then and he still is now. Thanks God he did not quite like the other early ElectroClashy bands. The last time I saw him was at MJ's (Silver Lake). The place was empty. Maybe just twenty people there, but tonight, it's packed.

Cazwell did his thing without dancers or visuals and he K!LLED !T.

Friday.July.1.2011

You know you are at the hood when they are setting off fireworks before the 4th and I don't mean fireworks you buy at those booths either. By the way, there are none (firework booth) in the city. Why is that? And there is always no one in my street lighting up any fireworks either. Did something happen? Not like I live in the woods or by the beach. Weird.

I arrived at Echo Park and the parking lot is FULL. I went to my secret parking place an that was taken, $H!T. It's looking like a good night. Nice. The last time I saw Jessica 6 was here at The Echo and it was an okay show. They had a few songs and they sounded, not so good. I recently bought the new album, "See The Light" and it's really GOOD. Very impressed. So let's see how they do tonight.

When did The Echo get a marquee? I loved it when it was just blank and now you see this bright light with names of the bands performing that week. Are people still having a hard time finding The Echo, that they decided to put that up. What ever the reason, Sux a$$, but it still has that cool vibe inside.

Of course Steven is late and I thought I was gonna be late because I just came from watching The Interlopers (another GREAT performance from the cast, they ROCK!). The theatre is just down the street and I left quick after the show, thinking they would go on around 10:30 pm. Sure enough, they did not. Jessica 6 went on until a quarter till 12. All this rushing for nothing. Before I forget, Chaz Bono was at the theatre to see The Interlopers and his girlfriend liked the play. So you know what that means. I'll just leave it on that.

I arrived to The Echo around 10:15 and it was not to busy yet. Steven arrived around 10:30 and the second band went on, Love Grenade. They where okay, but the lead girl danced liked Ida No (Glass Candy singer). The Echo started to get busy and here comes Jessica 6.

Nomi (Lead singer) comes out looking like Darth Sidious from Star Wars, Return of the Jedi. The stage lights where all off (very Gothic) during the first song and they came on after the second song. She took off the cloak and showed us her HOT sexy outfit, nice. BUT...you can see her underwear. Does that mean she still has her pee pee?

This time around they where better, but it was hard to make out what she was singing. Maybe where I was standing. Who knows. It was hard to hear her and I was maybe just three feet away from the stage. There was no encore and no Antony for "Prisoner of Love". Is he ever gonna join any of the people he collaborates with, live? I hope so and Antony should makes a dance album. It would be a H!T.
Besides the girls in front of me that kept turning around, ALOT. WTF! It was a GOOD SHOW.
