They Are Fine Animals And A Long Way From Home.
Sunday night at The Smell, sold out by 9:30. Jay Reatard, No Age, Mika Mibo and more.
Sardine can city!
I was tired and tried talking myself into staying home, but by the time I left I was in full floating mode.
There was a negative vibe merchant who had to be escorted out. Out of all the places that you could go in this town and start a ruckus, why would you choose the one place that's a safe ground for all ages performance? You might as well go to an elementary school and tip over desks and spit at a teacher, or disrupt a yoga class or something.
Anyway, back to business. What a show!
Dean's label, PPM, just released a new David Scott Stone CD that demands your immediate attention, and a new 12" from Eric Copeland. Get both quick!
Jay Reatard played an incredible set that I failed to document.
And then Mika Miko played what will be their last show for a little while.
Nearly naked man.
He's got guts.
I predict some new MM songs coming soon.
In fact, I predict new and amazing things from everyone I know in the near future.
Because the energy here is expanding. I've never seen anything like it.
So fuck a bunch of Pilgrims. I'm thankful for this, all of it, right here right now. Thank you Los Angeles!
