yeahhhhhh, not much going on tonight. you could come over and help j.s. paint his apt if you want? otherwise we’ve got old school metal/industrial leftovers Fear Factory @ West Hollywood HOB on Sunset with 36 Crazyfists, After the Burial and Divine Heresy. here’s a funny video where the band members play pretend that they’re in Saw II. imagination is fun!
Concrete Blonde celebrates twenty years of Bloodletting at Henry Fonda – Music Box in Hollywood by making me feel really fucking old playing the album in full. Flametal and Shok open (tix here)
let your hair metal down with Steel Panther at House of Blues Sunset Blvd (um, apparently Miley Cyrus will be there, as well. if ever there was a night to hit Steel Panther, tonight is the night. once i saw Kelly Clarkson get up on stage and drink straight Makers Mark or something equally as poisonous to a young preteen pop career while she fucked up Journey lyrics with the lame-ass from Yellowcard. if Miley hangs around after her show, i guarantee something awful aka amazing will happen. p.s. how can you fuck up Journey lyrics? i mean, she was on American Idol?!!?!??)
Kelly Clarkson jumps the pop shark with Steel Panther
WTTD pal Courtney Cruz and her Devil’s Playground gets all kinky AGAIN with the sequel to her Fetish Girls Burlesque downtown at Bordello Bar – check out some naughty pics from the first Fetish Girls Burlesque show in our galleries here (three thumbs WAY up if you know what i mean from j. satan)

LeBasse opens for Yoskay Yamamoto’s ‘Familiar Strangers’ show in Culver City
Gary Baseman’s ‘Giggle and Pop’ show from noon until four at the La Brea tar pits with his “Tar Pit Girls” – i like him but he’s a little skeevy, too…

Dinosaur Jr. – Seemed Like The Thing To Do
not too surprisingly, indie rock’s elder statesmen Dinosaur Jr. are returning tonight to Los Angeles after two sold out shows at the Troubadour in June. they’re playing the House of Blues Sunset Strip, and the place will be lucky to still be standing after J., Lou and Murph finish plugging in those purple amps. i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again. loudest fucking band in America. (My Bloody Valentine doesn’t count, they’re from the Old Country.)
i imagine at this point that the inside of J. Mascis’ ears sounds like the scene in Fight Club when Ed Norton gets done shooting a bullet through his mouth and there’s nothing but ringing while people mouth things to him and look worried…
