THE SMOOTHEST NEW PHOTOS: SMOOTH GROOVES REUNION, ANAVAN, JAMAICA MAN, HOLI BUFFAGLOW, VAMPIRE PUSSY, & SPELLCASTER!!!

So yeah you were promised “twice as rock” for this past Monday’s show… and we fuckin’ delivered!!!!

The Smooth Grooves reunion was sublime… Like the Ruins, Primus and Jimi Hendrix all jamming together. Anavan blasted into hyperspace, the “Denver dudes” (aka Vampire Pussy and Spellcaster) proved they are some of the best noise you could ever hope to hear, Holi Buffaglow was punk *and* funk, and Jamaica Man jammed free and got us all high!!!!

Add to all that musical goodness a video shoot for the new Mae Shi cover of that Miley Cyrus song, and this was the perfect Monday show… Kinda like a “happening,” man—like “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” (my favorite movie) minus the acid. “THIS IS MY HAPPENING AND IT FREAKS ME OUT!”

This week I am doing two shows. Peter Moran organized the fest (and created perhaps my favorite poster of ALL TIME!) with Jonathan “Captain Ahab” Snipes, and I joined in the fun. I am doing wristbands for both, and I got them today… they are different than anything I’ve ever tried. VERY special. And Monday it’s Kyle and Josh’s last supergroup—Guns ‘n Broses with Grace Lee singing. Who else does a fest on a Sunday and a Monday?!?! Don’t miss out!

NEW PHOTOS: HEALTH, ROBIN WILLIAMS ON FIRE, SMOOTH GROOVES, HUMAN HANDS, WEAK SISTERS, & SPELLCASTER AT THE SMELL!!!

The show at the Smell left a big smile on my face. There was a little earthquake when I got home (seriously—4.5 on the Richter scale!), but I didn’t worry ‘cuz I had just seen/heard/been part of one the most amazing nights of music ever!!

Kyle Mabson deserves a lotta credit for that. He organized the concert and even played in two of the bands. KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON KYLE MABSON. Yep. He’s the best.

Jim Smith was a terrific host, as usual. He deserves a lotta credit, too.

But the thing that overwhelmed me the most—besides the awesome songs from Health, Robin Williams On Fire, Smooth Grooves and the psychedelic noise of Human Hands, Weak Sisters, and Spellcaster—was the audience of friends and diehard music fans.

L.A. truly has something special going on, whether anyone realizes it or not.

I realize it! I feel it at the Pehr shows and Kyle’s shows and the Smell and House of Vermont and just about any show that this incredible group of music fans are at. It’s a special community—surpassing any other I’ve been a part of. There’s no snobbery or any of that crap. And the music is weird weird weird. And everyone’s so into it! (That’s ‘cuz it’s good.)

Appreciate what we’ve got. Go out there and take it all in and be a part of it because this is something rare and special.
