Shiny.Toy.Guns w/MNDR (L!VE)...

Shiny.Toy.Guns.2012

Tuesday.October.23rd

KROQ nite at the plex.  Weird.  What is KROQ now?  I stopped listening to that station in 92.  Sometimes I'll sneak a peak to hear what they are playing and it's still...CRAP!   

Long line to get in, but it moved quickly.  Once inside, the place was packed.  I have no idea if this is sold out.  Never mind, yes it was.

MNDR...K!LLED !T, but the crowd was...D.E.A.D.   Amanda Warner (Lead Singer) was pumping them up and it worked, but just for a small while.  I loved her 80's Hip-Hop dance moves that she was doing.  It reminded me of Salt-n-Pepa "Push It" video.  Even though it was a solo performance, MNDR was giving it her all and I loved it.  She had my attention from the start.  I  wondered  if Madonna got her initials from her new album from Amanda?

Shiny.Toy.Guns. played a twenty song set that was pretty good.  They played some cover songs (Depeche Mode "Stripped" of course) and new stuff from the new album that came out today, titled, III (do you think they got the idea from Crystal Castles?).

They played "Le Disko" towards the middle of the show and closed it with two of my favorite songs, "Fading Listening" (I really LOVE that Fleetwood Mac sounding song) and "You Are the One". Perfect!  What a way to end this night.

Besides, Carah Faye Charnow (Lead Singer) throwing her mic on the ground really hard (SO PUNK ROCK) for not working during the opening song, this was, pretty...

The.Death.Set.2011

Tuesday.May.17.2011

So, is judgement day coming soon? I thought we had until 2012? So confused. What ever happens, I am gonna be at Long Beach Gay Pride promoting my partner's play "The Interlopers". It opens up in June. Look out for it. It plays here at The Bootleg.

Win Win was the opening act and they where okay. They had some crazy visuals that you need to be on something to enjoy it. I have not heard of them until 2 weeks ago. I was sent a free download and it was okay. Same as everything out there right now. There are some people into it. I see someone wearing sunglasses and just staring at the visuals. Ahhhhhhhhh, DRUGS!

I came so close to going to Check Your Ponytail 2 because I wanted to see MNDR. Maybe next time. I heard of the.Death.Set so much that I had to see what is the hype.

The Bootleg is becoming my favorite place to see shows, but they need more light. It's a bit dim here. I don't mind it, but it helps to see the performers faces. Okay, the guy next to me can not stop talking about ninjas. "I wanna be a ninja and my friend just died", he told his friend. I think it's a virtual reality game thing. I thought I came to a rock concert, not Comic Con. This is a trip. Ninja this and Ninja that, it was some crazy chatter and his hair looked like Dragon Ball Z. Look it up if you do not know what Dragon Ball Z is.

the.Death.Set came out around 11:15pm and they where...CRAZY. People almost started a mosh-pit, but no luck. I think they where scared of the JUST one bouncer. He was also the security guy and he kept this crowd under control. It was only ONE bounce/security guy! This crowd was weak and the band told us that. Here we go again. Not knowing much about The Death Set and they kicked ASS! Brooklyn rules, once again. BUT...the album (Michel Poiccard) sounds better on record then live. I couldn't make anything out on what Johnny Siera (Lead Singer) was singing. It was; blah, blah, blah, blah, Ahhhhhhhhh, Lossssss Angelesssss! Okay, goodnight. Thanks.

$H*T!
