Time’s up. Number 2 pencils down. Pass your Scantron to the cute girl with the bracelets and long hair on your left.
BRMC at the echo hands down.
or you could go see paramount at o’brien’s on main st. in santa monica, for free, at 11. 45 p.m. just a thought.
Paramount rocks backyard BBQ style, i can testify.
Is the El Pecas #2 taco truck opening for Paramount?
I’ll probably go with the free show at the Kibbitz Room instead. The boyfriend likes it when I attend his numerous gigs.
The Squares
Ron, I have a vision of a glorious free rock show: Wolf Parade on the football field at Los Angeles High. El Pecas #2 could drive a few blocks over to provide tacos, and plug into the grid for power instead of having to use that damn generator that always runs out of gas right as I’m ordering. WP could name their next album Apologies to Longwood Highlands.
We can make this a reality, guys.
Wolf Parade is not to be missed! Fools!
or stay at home and drink sam adams summer ale while listening to the misfits cuz brmc was sold out. money saved!
Wolf Parade was awesome!
i chose wolf parade.
kick arse.
i saw the brmc show and it was pretty good.
I must take a vow to proactively and retroactivly protest ALL of this nonsense. For instance, next weekend I will go to Big Sur where I will be totally disconnected from all Los Angeles life and nightlife. In the meantime, I also vow to protest any band playing anywhere unless it is in my living room. Yeah, I like the sound of that… that is by far the most righteous venue.
