One Word: Hillstomp. You should see this band. You will thank me later, and especially if you catch them at the Pike Bar & Grill in Long Beach, where you can get some great food with the good music. (I prefer the Blackened Mushroom Tacos).

Hillstomp will be playing Tuesday, October 4 at the The Gypsy Lounge (23600 Rockfield Blvd # 3A in Lake Forest) with Jay Buchanan, Rocco deLuca and Stepside, and Wednesday, October 5 at The Pike in Long Beach (1836 E 4th St., Long Beach (562) 437-4453).

Go see this band.
