This afternoon/evening, I went to my first Pit Fire Productions All Ages Sunday Matinee at the Knitting Factory LA with Channel 3 and Union 13. I am here to report that the show was good.

When I was a small chicklette, all ages shows in the SoCal area were really all ages. They were held at bars that had a license that allowed for the younger set to also attend. Sometime since the late 1980s, this has all changed. With the exception of clubs/bars that have had all ages liquor licenses that pre-date 1987, every club that now has all ages has no bar, only candy and slurpees.

Well, you say, this is good, it keeps kids out of trouble. Bullshit. They just drink or do drugs in the parking lot before the show, and then sit around listlessly during the bands. Ever been to Chain Reaction or Showcase Theatre? Can we say bored, listless, out of it kids? And exceptionally boring if you are over 3...

There is something to be said about a place that the over 21s want to come to as well has allowing the under 21s to attend. There is energy. The youngins get excited, they are animated, they have to act cool because they are with the big kids. The big kids are usually cool and don't buy drinks for the little ones. It all works.

I am glad that the Pit Fire Productions folks have convinced the Knitting Factory LA to have afternoon/evening shows in the front bar/lobby of the venue that is all ages. This evening's show had folks from 13-43, all enjoying themselves, laughing, hanging out, watching the bands, and singing along. The bartender was a wee bit bored, but I tipped him well.

Most of the folks I know who go to Burning Man tend to be techies and art folk, but I have not heard of any of my music friends and acquaintances talk of the festival in the Nevada Desert. Anyone here going this year or have gone in the past?

Last night at the Doll Hut, Boston's Kings of Nuthin' were on FIRE! The eight man band delivers fiery, ultra-raw, early rock'n'soul - Loud guitar, pounding drums, rhythmic bass, 3 saxophones, haulin' piano, with whiskey growl vocals.

The Kings of Nuthin' are out on the West Coast for a few dates over Labor Day wekend, do not miss them:

August 28 @ The Doll Hut, Anaheim CA

August 29 @ Jillians, Las Vegas NV

August 30 @ Flannery's, Palm Springs CA

August 31 @ The Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles CA

In the not-too-distant past(i.e., last year), the Enchanted Tiki Room was slated to become a food court. But thanks to the efforts of mid-century preservationists (or more likely to corporate greed), this year Disneyland's Polynesian Pop Palace is celebrating it's 40th Anniversary, complete with commemorative seriagraph and merchandise by Shag

I just got back from the 2nd Sunday afternoon/evening of the Hacienda Brothers - featuring Dave Gonzalez of The Paladins and the SoCal famed Chris Gaffney - at the Doll Hut. The Hacienda Brothers played roarin' honky tonky and old time country music. A true delight to the ears on a Sunday afternoon.

The Hacienda Brothers will be back at the Doll Hut next Sunday the 26th of October and again on Sun. Nov. 23rd with The Paladins for a Doll Hut Benefit just before Thanksgiving.

...but a living exhibition of the degenerate soul."

If the average boo-hoo haunted house just doesn't cut it for you, if you truly need something depraved, then the Institute of Mental Decay, sponsored by the Los Angeles Cacophony Society looks to be severely disturbing. They're still looking for participants, so if you have any "medical fetishes, animal costumes, castration fantasies or hospital equipment", they neeeeed YOU. They're also looking for anyone "born with a tail" and "as many monkeys as we can find"....

Happy Haunting! Bwahahahahaha........

In a gesture of unbridled impartiality (hmmm...we'll see how well that works out), the opening slots of the 2004 Wreckers Ball, scheduled for Halloween weeekend 2004 in Pomona, CA will be decided by online voting:

"YOU will vote for what bands you want to see get into the big show. There will be 3 rounds. As of now there are 28 bands who have signed up to be in the contest. Out of all the bands who end up signing on, you will vote for the top 15 then in the second round you will vote for the top 6 and for the last round only the top 3 vote getters will get into the big show. Whoever has the highest votes will get to choose what day they play. Go to the DSD website or click on this link and vote NOW http://vote.sparklit.com/web_poll.spark/805660 the first round of voting ends January 20th, The Second Round end January 31st and the last round ends February 14th and the WB 2 Site will be launched. The line up for the Wreckers Ball 2 @ The Glasshouse October 20th-31st will be announced."

So go vote, but please please pleeeease do all of us one little favor: if you friend/brother/sister/lover/whoever's band is in the contest, and they suck and you know it.....SPARE THE REST OF US AND DON'T VOTE FOR THEM! No one will know, you can lie about it - it is just a little white lie meant to protect their feelings, so it will be done out of goodwill and won't be counted against you when they're deciding your fate... in hell. >;-P

If you've never been to Bahooka Restaurant in Rosemead, this is an excellent opportunity to check out one of Southern California's few remaining Polynesian palaces. Boasting of over 100 fishtanks, the dusty nautical decor harkens back to the ribs & grog steakhouses of the mid-century. Now a bit lackluster, it is still a fun excursion for any retrophile. Last time I hit up Bahooka there was over a two hour wait, so make reservations if you can!

Charles Phoenix - Art Historian, Kodachrome slide collector, and Histo-tainer - is also a genius! I saw his "God Bless Americana" show the day after Thanksgiving and yes, I am giving thanks that I did! I'm telling everyone I know (that means you) to get off your tushy and get over to the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood to see his Retro Holiday Slide Show, which runs through January 2, 2005.

Phoenix, who collects vintage Kodacrome slides from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, puts them all together in various themes (vacations, holidays, Disneyland) and shows them in small theaters. He narrates them himself, without amplification, and what impresses me most is his exhaustive knowledge of retro-history. He's also funny as hell.

Make it a point to catch his show, buy his books, or take one of his tours.

Oh yes, it is summer in SoCal again, and it just wouldn't be complete without everyone's favorite annual redneck picnic. Although an outdoor festival in July is a bit of a meteorological crapshoot, last year's affair was balmy & breezy, as opposed to the previous year's bake-fest on the Cal State Fullerton soccer fields. Here's hoping the beautiful weather holds out... but bring a parasol & sunscreen just to be safe! :D

Peter Frampton is playing the Brea Summerfest on June 4th.

www.summerfestbrea.org

For those of us in a certain age bracket, “Frampton Comes Alive” symbolizes our last fresh breath of childhood innocence. I still remember buying the two-record set for $4.99 in the Music Plus store at the Orange Mall. It was during a summer rainstorm.
The first time I french-kissed a girl was at church camp during that wonderful Summer of Frampton.
Soon after that, things got complicated. Kissing and Frampton were not enough anymore. We had to go to the next levels – second base, third base, Alice Cooper, and Kiss (the band). Before we knew it, we were corrupted, jaded, and on the pathway to punk rock.

I think this year is the year I'll have to stop being an "LA Gay Rodeo" virgin. I've never been (in fact, I'd never even HEARD of it until I got the press release today), but my friend Tonya says it's a ton of fun. And I can't imagine anything cooler, so why the hell not?!

The LA Gay Rodeo takes place August 3 - 6 at the LA Equestrian Center in Burbank.

Saturday, March 10th - Two Shows: 1:30 and 3:00 p.m.

Fabulous Vintage Fashion Show at the World Famous Bullocks Wilshire Building! Saturday, March 10th! Two Showings!

Once again the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles is offering its members and friends the opportunity to experience first-hand the glory of High Art Deco Style - - this time at the iconic Bullocks Wilshire Building.

Join us for an afternoon of fun vintage fashion in an unparalleled setting as 30 Years of Pin-up: 1927-1957 comes alive! With 80 vintage garments and live piano accompaniment presented in the exquisite environment of the Louis XVI Salon at Bullocks Wilshire, just as it would have been during the department store's heyday of the 1930s. And collectors take note: A selection of these delightfully evocative garments will be available for purchase following the show. The show will also include some vintage movie costumes previously worn by Ava Gardner, Ginger Rogers, Ann Miller, Esther Williams and Julie Andrews plus many more! It will certainly be an afternoon to remember!

Restored and now occupied by Southwestern this Art Deco gem of a building is not open to the general public, and seating is limited, so you will need to act fast!

Tickets available via Paypal. Ticket purchase deadline: Thursday, March 8th, 5:00 p.m.;

Funny, a few months back I was trying to find a list of the bands that played Viva 2004 (or '05 or so). I searched and searched with no luck and alllllmost gave up... until I finally hit a page that had the lineup listed. It was mine. That I posted here on Barflies.

With that said, the 10th Anniversary is too big for me to bother typing. So at the risk of screwing over my future self... I give you:

I recall reading/hearing somewhere that Shag never intended to become an artist... it was just a bit of a fortunate accident. Fortunate for us as well because WE LOVE SHAG :-) If you're interested in a brief peek at the man behind the mid-century madness, Josh Agle, check out The Sophisticated Misfit at the upcoming Newport Beach Film Festival. Get your tix asap because I have a sneaking suspicion that - much like the coveted canvases at Shag's gallery shows - this event will sell out before the doors even open!
