I haven't seen Robbie Fulks in a very long time. And now I hear he has a double-cd out. I haven't heard it, but I have heard that Mr. Fulks is moody and unpredictable live. Am I starting rumors? I hope so. McCabe's is a wonderful place to see someone as talented as Robbie Fulks live.
UPCOMING SHOW:
Sat. July 28 @ McCabe’s
3101 Pico Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90405

I can't think of a better band to listen to in the long, hot days of summer than Big Sandy. I can't think of a better band to go see on a first date. I can't think of a better band to take the whole family to see at the Fullerton Summer Concert Series! Big Sandy is like a big, cool, mint julep on a really hot summer's evening. Delicious!

You know I love Smith's Ranch Boys. They haven't played in FOREVER. And everytime the Lucky Stars play, it's in Ventura, or at the Autry. Clearly, my Lucky Stars aren't aligned. Cari Lee is from San Francisco, so I think it's been 5 years since I've seen her. Damn! I've got to get out of the house more often.
And now I've got a really good reason to! Thanks, Sam!
I've got good news, and bad news. Which do you want first?
The good news is that The Knitters are opening for Willie Nelson at the Pacific Amphitheatre. And your $35 - $45 ticket gets you in to the OC Fair for free. That's a lot of kettle korn and petting zoo, I know. There are also good tickets still left. I know, I checked.
The bad news? Oh, my boyfriend has a show that night and I can't go.
Go without me. And have a good time!
You know how you have these "musical guilty pleasures" that you don't want anyone to know about? Well, I'm admitting right now, two of mine are The Alarm and the Psychedelic Furs. I'm not even guilty about it, and judging from the response when I dj an 80s night, and the number of regular requests I get, neither is anyone else.
So I'm guessing the Rockin’ The Colonies show upcoming at the Pacific Amphitheatre is going to be sold out: The Alarm, The Psychadelic Furs and the Fixx (a band I truly do NOT enjoy, but I can be parking the car while they're on)!
The Alarm has a new album: Under Attack, which is group-founder Mike Peters’ first release with the Alarm since his recent battle against leukemia. Joining him on this album are ex-Gene Loves Jezebel guitarist James Stevenson, ex-The Cult and Mission UK bassist Craig Adams and Stiff Little Fingers drummer Steve Grantley. “Superchannel,” the album’s first single, went to #1 in the UK .
Coming up, The Alarm is set to release a series of EPs called Counter Attack.
Now, I've already seen the Psychedelic Furs many times and they are GREAT. Plus, your $25 ticket price to the Pacific Amphitheatere (before Ticketmaster rape charges, of course) gets you in to the OC Fair FREE. Cowabunga!

Slim Cessna's Auto Club will be playing Sunday, July 8 at Safari Sam's opening for Wayne Hancock. Now, I like Wayne, but I feel sorry for the man. Chances are, some swing dorks are gonna show up, cuz it's LA, and it seems to be full of those kinds of people, and if they can't get saved by Slim and Munly, then they might get the balboa kicked out of them.
It's gonna be a good time. I may have to call in sick Monday.
