For punk I go to Headline and I did work there in 02.Freakbeat is a great store also. But now a days it's getting harder to find good underground R 'n' R vinyl in store so I have been buying more on line.bo!

headline is my favorite record shop in l.a. even if it's fucking 2000 degrees in there in the summertime... Hank Cockpit said:

Amoeba blows. Headline Records on Melrose is pretty great.

Max Reverb and his Quasi-men seeking members to form awesome rawk n roll band. email if local.

The Mystery Lights from Salinas (about 2 hours south of San Francisco) play in Monterey and San Francisco quite often. Their a real good band and they always put on a good show to.

San Diego is about 2 hours away. We've got a couple hot spots that occasionally have decent stuff going on. Once you get into L.A. let me know and I'll see what's happening for the month.

cool jetlag. thats a lot of help i didn't actually know how long it would take to get to SF. cheers

if you're gonna be in LA for a month, you should try driving up to san francisco/oakland (7 hours with traffic). tons of bands all the time, and that's where shannon and the clams, nobunny, hunx & his punkettes, gris gris (among a gazillion other bands) are from.

when will you be in town? The Redwood sometimes had good shows.

the girlfriend and i are off to LA next summer on holiday for about a month... and i'm already taking time out to see shannon and the clams cos they are awesome... anyone recommend any good live bands to catch when i'm state-side???

Hey I'm moving to La and basically if you got my site www.myspace.com/themeanmeanmen, all of that stuff is just me fluffing it to look like a real band! So I want to go the extra step with it and am leaving for la next week. I have been playing all the instruments but I would like to be able to just be freed up for vocals. I have a lot of originals and if anyone is interested see my post on the groups first page.

I am moving out to LA next week and will be downtown. I don't know how accesable long beach is from la (no car) but I am looking for a guitar player for my band the mean mean men amongst other things. Check us out on here and also www.myspace.com/themeanmeanmen

********after reading a few posts I wanted to say that first of all I don't really care about experience. If you think you would have a good time and would be excited about writing or playing songs with me about women, drinking, new dance crazes, and the lack of good sex(!)-contact me**********

I am currently looking for a drummer guitarist(possibly to collaborate and write with) bass and eventually keys.

Check us out here and on myspace.com/themeanmeanmen

Last week we joined ebandagogo and currently are the top 3rd band and have the fourth top single.

I would like to find some indiviuals who would be excited about being apart of the project and could see themselves adding to the content and not just playing chords or a bass line. Obviously the music isn't too technical! lol.

Anyone interseted can contact me on here or if you want call me @210-274-1680

I will be in LA(downtown) next week and am very excited to take the band up a notch.

cheers

The Double Down is the happiest place on earth....I had fun there. There was a cool rooftop bar at The Rio when we went in 2001. And the thrill rides are wicked fun..you can go on board the starship enterprise! I think it's circus circus that has the dolphins you can get right up close too.

The beauty bar and the griffin are right near each other on Freemont downtown (not too far from the freemont experience, but far enough). I can't recall the name of it but there's a place that has live music that's on the same block. I remember that The Hold Steady were playing there the week after I was there. I think the Double Down has music every day still, for better or worse.

The best place to go in Vegas is anywhere else.

I always liked what Dr. Thompson said about Circus Circus. To paraphrase, it's what the hip world would be doing every Saturday night had the Nazis won the war.

The Double Down can have good (punk) shows at times but is quite dirty. Good bars would be: The Mix, Ghostbar, anything downtown at the Golden Nugget, Beauty Bar. Don't miss the $6.99 sirloin at Ellis Isand...Have fun. I'll be seeing the Buzzcocks and Damned at the Inkfest show on the 20th.

I'm not involved in this but I highly recommend it.

Dance to all '60s soul 45s as Connie the Empress, Mary-Clancey and Girlsoul present A WHOLE LOTTA SOUL. 

Sat., Jan. 30th, 10PM-4AM, Huckleberry Bar, 588 E. Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11211.

FREE.

My old band, the Malarians (1984-1990), is reuniting for a quick tour of the Commonwealth June 10-12, 2010. We had three releases, In the Cool Room ('86), Know ('88), and Finished in This Town ('90). Attached are a couple of mp3s from the Great Lost Malarians Album.

AS me UNCLE BUK said in ONE Of his POEMS: "PISS & SHIT!!"..

Oh yeah, was'ON' SOME SERIOUS Bed rest...w/ muscle relaxants & meds for THE "PAIN IN MY BRANE" W00H00!!...
