Our punk heros are grandparents… and so are we. There were young folks, old folks, folks with their kids & even grandkids. Ran into a couple old friends, made new ones. No mosh pits, no fights, just a really kush day of punk and post-punk nostalgia. The bands sounded great! Blondie was the bomb! My sister could here the drummer, Clem Burke, shredding it from her house in Altadena.
I’m usually leery of dishes with a bunch of stuff piled in-under-and-on top of stuff. But! This is one of the best vegan dishes I’ve ever had. Vedge was fresh & crunchy, tasty toppings, blackened tofu & noodles cooked perfectly, the two sauces (a spicy creamy & a hoisin-ish) were sooo good. It was super spicy! We planned on checking out other stalls (read good things about Oono Sushi (v)), but stopped there. This is more of a BOLO than a rec. Out of all the places listed we go to the one place not listed on the lineup and no internet presence. I meant to get a card but didn’t, so if anyone out there knows or comes across these peeps give me a buzz please!
At first I read the bill backwards and thought, how the fuck did they talk The Church into going on after Devo? OK, Bauhaus, that works. Amazing that it’s the original lineup, nobody died yet. Good luck Morrissey.
Lol I was about to write my impressions - it was a tight show. The bands were well rehearsed and well prepared both musically and physically, even Morrissey, but not enough to take his shirt off and throw it in the crowd. Yes @robert there was still a crowd, but we faded.
Omg! Lol. I was trying to stay neutral, but for real, I told my husband that Morrissey was reminding me of a “post-punk lounge singer”. He said “I saw The Smiths in 1985. Let’s go.”
yeahhhhhh---- agreed… bauhaus would be the late night band to end the show… Morrissey (in his current state) should be dinner time or shortly thereafter…
