Missin' Mission

I'm pissed. Our friend is getting hitched in July in LA and not only will we be missing the Mission of Burma show (I'm way into their new album), I'm missin' David Lee Roth! He was super fun last time we caught him and he needs cheering up from his true fans now that his radio gig's gone up in smoke. I know it pretty much sucked, but that doesn't mean he ain't still a kick ass performer. (I was weirded out by his appearance on The Tonight Show recently featuring him with a bluegrass/country band doing VH hits. Pretty damn depressing. I couldn't watch more than about 30 seconds.)

You can listen to the whole new Mission record, The Obliterati, on their site. The first track, 2wice, is addictive.

Cetch-up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been super lazy lately, and neglecting this here blawg. But it's a punk rock blog, meaning I don't really give a shit!

So, we were planning on catchin' the always amazingly entertaining and nearly-naked Demolition Doll Rods tonight at Trash, but we're skippin' it to hang with a cool couple we met in Dominican Republic a while back. Should be a fun night. It's been nice and mostly sunny here all day, though the blasted weatherman's sayin' rain's on it's way.

My will to sit out back with the fire pit roarin', drink in hand, tunes a-blarin' is bound to set him straight though.

Oh, as for the Cheeseburger show a couple weeks ago, they were damn good. Apparently they're recording new stuff right now. In fact, they capped the show off with a new tune that was really really great - much poppier and catchier than their usual schtick. I can't wait to hear it again!

And another thing, another local band, Alabama Black Snakes opened. The crowd of drunken dumbasses dug 'em, but as far as I'm concerned these guys are way over-rated. I like some good, loose rock 'n' roll, but they were downright sloppy. The guitarist was wasted, and man, did it show. He was fuckin' up all over the place. They played excessively loud, tryin' to prove what balls-out rockers they are. Still, in my mind it merely served as weak attempt to disguise their mediocrity. Plus their songs were crap and the vocals were annoying. So there.
