The.Death.Set.2011

@Bootleg (Los Angeles, CA)

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!

The Interlopers - a NEW play by GARY LENNON

The Interlopers, by Gary Lennon, is a Romeo and Juliet story set in the transgender world of Los Angeles. Through the theme of identity, the play explores a group of unique misfits who call themselves family, and who are brave enough to challenge the obstacle course called life. Examining these singular and special people, the play follows them on their journeys to being their whole and authentic selves.

@Bootleg.(Los Angeles,CA)

Monday.May.2.2011

What a crazy weekend. It started with a big princess wedding in London. Ended with a bigger story that made you forget about that wedding and that was the birth of Mariah Carey's twins. Hahahhaha. Just kidding, It was the death of Osama Bin Laden. That's HUGE! They actually found him and killed him. Groovy. What happens now? We gotta wait and see.

I heard a couple of tracks from the.Chain Gang of 1974 and they where just okay. All that changed tonight. I came in not knowing what to expect from then and they blew me away. They where FVCKn GOOD! Of course the crowd was lame (to cool for school to move), but they had me shaking my feet. There was this kid next to me dancing away, while his girlfriend just stood there. It was funny to watch because it seemed like the girlfriend wanted to move away from him. He was having a great time. When they played the last song, He got up stage and picked up a drumstick and a cowbell. ROCK ON! Then he sang along with them. Is he a friend of the band? He might of been. He was not kicked off. He was up there until the end of the song. Groovy.

They announced that there new album comes out in June (can not wait for that) and I found a new band to watch again and again. I hope next time, the crowd will be alive.

Brother U.K. (LiVE!)@Satellite (Los Angeles, CA)

Brother

@Satellite (Los Angeles, CA)

Tuesday.April.26.2011

Brother is getting a lot of press in NME and you would think, this night would be sold out, but it's not. Then I thought, maybe last minute and there would be a huge line, but no. I am surprised with the turn out. It's lite. So lite, that I can count all 50 people here at the NEW Satellite (the old Spaceland). Nothing was remodeled. The signature curtain is still up from Spaceland (shiny blue and gold or silver in the middle). You would think, new venue name, new everything, but no. Everything is still the same. Groovy, I think.

After watching two not so good bands, Brother delivered. I only have one song "Darling Buds of May" from them and from the songs I heard tonight, they sounded great. I was standing by the playlist and I really liked the last song they played, "Time Machine". Leonard Newell (Lead Singer) told us that we can download the album for free even though they signed to a major (Geffen) last year. How cool is that. You know what I am doing when I get home.

NME was right, Leonard was the guy to watch and boy does he have a mouth. I like. He noticed how lame the crowd was because he told us straight out. I was surprised that people did not booed him. Why should they anyway. It's true, L.A. concert goer's don't move (well some). After the last song, they just left the stage. No thank you or goodnight.

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ - Rock ON!!
