Riots Not Diets
Download a free 12-disc compilation of female-fronted punk bands spanning 1977-1989. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I’m not making it up. Get started with the first 4 disks here.
Jesus Lizard – Panic In Cicero
old-school punk bands from Chicago equals awesome. the unstoppable force of Jesus Lizard singer David Yow were legendary in my hometown, ao don’t waste this chance to see them since they broke up a while ago because they were old and not making any money until that Touch and Go anniversary show got ‘em back together but who knows for how long? hitting the Henry Fonda tonight.
rub a dub dub, three old punk rockers in a tub...
nerd… loins…. going…. to…. explode… EVERYWHERE. tonight at Meltdown Comics on Sunset Blvd is the West Coast party/book release for Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster from writer Craig Yoe. more importantly, the oh-so-generous Suicide Girls have kindly offered up their, um, “talents”, to perform a variety of bondage and fetish scenes culled from the book. as if you need another excuse to get out of your mama’s basement, there will also be free Asahi beer. geeks of the world, you’ve never had a better excuse to turn off the computer… but then come right back. i get lonely too, you know : o (
FROM THE NEWSLETTER: A fun time is in store for adult intellectuals who visit Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 29. Comic book historian Craig Yoe will be signing copies of his book, Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster. And the world-famous Suicide Girls have kindly offered to join in the festivities by donning fetish outfits and acting out scenes from the book.
Mika Miko – I Got A Lot (New New New)
reprising their show from a couple of weeks ago, Mika Miko is playing at The Smell again tonight, this time with AUDACITY, The Widow Babies, and UV Lights. since according to Wikipedia they are an “underground youth punk/noise band”, you should really go, if only to be cool. i mean, you wouldn’t want to miss being underground, would you? or is “not being underground” the new “underground”? jesus satan just can’t keep up with the kids anymore.
Mika Miko – I Got A Lot (New New New)
sorry children of the world, Dirty Projectors at the Troubadour is all sold out. so go see Mika Miko at The Smell with Ty Segall, Shark Toys and Charlie & the Moonhearts. especially since they are an “underground youth punk/noise band” according to Wikipedia. you wouldn’t want to miss being underground, would you? (just in case you feel like being underground, but just not tonight, then you can catch them again at the Smell on Friday, July 17th.)
Mika Miko gettin' blurry with it
Spinnerette – Ghetto Love from toni eklund on Vimeo.
punk rawk goddess Brodi Dalle and her new band Spinnerette are showing quite a bit of a Queens of the Stone Age influence, possibly thanks to member and original QOTSA guitarist Alain Johannes, or possibly thanks to a marriage with QOTSA singer Josh Homme (lucky bastard…). in my opinion, it’s definitely a good thing… i never got into the Distillers that much. there was a lot better punk rock out there, and Dalle’s voice was a little too forced whiny punk princess for me, but i have to admit, i really, REALLY like the stuff i’m hearing from Spinnerette. plus this video is amazing. see her in all her suicide girlish glory tonight at the Troubadour, unless you don’t have tickets, that is, ’cause it’s all sold out. the amazing Har Mar Superstar and Woah Hunx open.
