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.

Saturday.February.19.2011

I got out of my car when it stopped raining and I noticed that some people did the same. The concert tonight is SOLD OUT (cool). It's good to see Glass.Candy at a bigger place. The first time I saw them was when they played the Troubadour three years ago (I think) and it was half empty. They bored me that night, but when they played Coachella two years ago, they where better. So let's see what happens tonight.

Austra was the opening band and they where really good. Another band on my list to see again. I thought it was an all girl band because of the E.P. cover. They are two girls and a guy in the band. The lead singer reminded me of Nika Rosa (Zola Jesus lead singer). She sounded kind of like her and moved like her too (just a bit). The more I was watching them, the more they reminded me of Zola Jesus, but a bit up beat. Check them out.

Okay...that was a bizarre concert experience. I don't mind people bumping into me, but if you do it non-stop, it's a problem. I know it's a concert and you are having a good time, but come on. Stand your ground. I kindly gave the guy a tap to get the hint, but he got crazy on me. He started to dance very wild that he bumped into me ALOT. I was okay with it until he almost made me fall. So, I pushed him (keep in mind, I never do that. He had it coming). He throw a punch (yes, a punch) that hit me on the shoulder. Okay. What the FCVK just happen. The punch did not hurt and he was shouting; "Stop FCVKn a$$hole, stop". Okay. When he said that, I wanted to laugh because of the way he said it. I just ignored him. Once again, he bumped into me. I really do not known what's his deal at this point. Maybe he forgot to take his med's or maybe be a victim of a fag bash. Who knows, but he was bothering the people in front of me as well. I was watching him from the corner of my eye and he started to flip me off. I guess he wanted me to flip out on him, but that was not gonna happen. A person behind me started to hold me from fighting (which that was funny to me) but that was not in my mind. What was on my mind was peeing on him. I over heard him tell his friend that he wanted to punch my face in. I unzipped my fly and sure enough, that pu$$y moved. Of course.

Wow, that was crazy.

Other then that, Glass.Candy was great. When Ida No (vocals) came out, someone shouted Snooki at her because of her little bump. Funny. You gotta love Jersey Shore, but no newer stuff (what?!?!?). I was hoping to that. Oh well, at least I got punched at a Glass.Candy concert.

\m/ \m/ \m/ - Groovy.
