I’m proud to announce that Sean Carnage Monday Nights have found a new, permanent home at Pehr Space, 325 Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles 90026.

Our first Pehr show features an all-star lineup: Telepathik Friend (Caroliner-esque, mind-blowing weirdness from SF), The Chuck Dukowski Sextet (ex-Blag Flag ex-SWA!), The Amazements, Fireworks, and, from Vancouver, Minivan and The Doers. Show time is 9pm (note the earlier start time). Admission is $5 / all-ages, same as always.

All previously scheduled Sean Carnage Monday shows will be moved to Pehr Space.

You will love Pehr: it’s safe, volunteer run, has a lighted parking lot, free street parking, clean bathrooms, great acoustics (as good as or better than Il Corral, which was pretty good), a PA system, DJ turntables, etc. It’s also nearly soundproof and causes no disturbance to the neighbors.

Proprietors Adam Hervey and Darren King are 100% behind my shows and the music.

Their mission statement says it all:

“We are an all-ages, non-profit arts space serving local and touring artists and musicians, as well as the people of los angeles. We were inspired and influenced by Jabberjaw and Timbrespace.”

Pehr is doing great work in the community and have a terrific reputation amongst performers, bands and music fans.

I am so honored that they would take us on. I know that we will all work really hard to make them proud of us. (Who knows, perhaps this is where we will shoot the sequel to 40 BANDS 80 MINUTES!?)

In the meantime, prepare yourself for some amazing music.

Please spread the word.

**NOTE: Pehr is located at 325 Glendale in the BACK of the Glen Village Plaza parking lot. If you thought Il Corral was tough to find… Lookout!

The best way to find Pehr Space is to locate the Glen Village Plaza sign (clearly visible from the street), park, then walk to the very back right-hand corner of the parking lot. You will find the entrance door behind a short tree. Pehr’s not visible from the street, which is great. “What we do is secret.” See you this Monday?

****Director Sean Carnage will introduce the film!

“Frenetic… the spirit of this über-independent effort can’t be denied”
–Ann Powers, Chief Pop Music Critic, L.A. Times

“Bizarrely enjoyable… The prevailing mood is giddy abandon”
–Natalie Nichols, Music editor, L.A. CityBeat

–Tony Pierce, LAist.com

–Matthew A Stern, PopMatters.com

“If you weren’t there, you’ll wish you had been. If you were, you’ll wish you could be there again—at least for a couple of minutes”
–David Cotner, L.A. Weekly & Signal to Noise

“Here’s hoping your music scene is at least half as engaging”
–Jamie Lee Rake, The Bohemian Aesthetic

My band Cockwind played the Smell on Saturday night with Mars Volta side-band, Zechs Marquise. The show was a lot of fun, and the audience was great.

Check out the photos below—courtesy of Molly and Aaron Anavan. Notice Cockwind’s new guitar player, Barrett. This guy is a lefty and he fuckin’ SMOKES… It’s great to have him onboard. More Cockwind gigs to come. Stay tuned! (In the meantime, listen to your Hawkwind & Robert Calvert records!!!!!)

I had hoped to make this announcement Tuesday morning, but it took me until now to firm up the details:

Sean Carnage Mondays—with the newest, cutting-edge underground music and DJ Kyle Mabson, too—will continue forever.

However, I will no longer be booking the Monday shows at Il Corral.

Sean Carnage Monday Nights will be moving to an exciting new permanent home very soon, but this Monday we will be at 1515 S. Vermont, so please make a note of it.

As you may or may not know, Il Corral founder Bob Bellerue pulled out of the Corral last month. It’s been a bumpy ride since then. I don’t regret anything. But it became clear to me last Sunday that the situation at Il Corral will no longer work for our shows.

DJ Kyle and I are lucky to have made friends with the most awesome people in L.A. and across the U.S. over these past months. The bands, fans, artists—everyone who has attended our Monday nights has been incredible.

I’ve made arrangements for all the shows. We’re not going to let you or the music down.

I understand that this development may be upsetting, but know that this was not a decision I made casually (especially after building the Corral up over nearly two years). Monday fans and bands deserve the best, which is why I’m making the change.

We have been so successful… our parties are the best in the city, in my opinion—especially for the omnivorous, hardcore music fan. This situation is unfortunate, but we move on with our heads high and our ears open to all the great Monday music that is to come!!

NOTE: DJ Kyle is on tour this week with Beach Balls but he’ll be back soon!
