Clinic at The Troubadour, May 20, 2008

Clinic at the Troubadour, May 20, 2008

Reviewing a Clinic show is like having me write about my hypothetical first-born: expect a bias. However, I can say that over the years their visits to Los Angeles saw gradually smaller venues and the standard arms-crossed crowd. With the buzz surrounding latest release Do It those blasé onlookers are a thing of the past, and a cult following has formed which promises loyal attendance to any performance, even if it was on third street promenade. After 11 years as a band, the incessant inquiries about their unwavering image are gone, along with the proverbial, “You toured with Radiohead? Oh my god, how did Thom’s hair smell?” questions. On Tuesday night at the Troubadour, Do It was performed first in its entirety followed by a set of fan-favorites and an encore. Make that two encores, as the mob demanded one more song, forcing the already unmasked band to put the surgical gear back on and play once more.

Black Lips @ El Rey Theatre, 2/14/08

Black Lips @ El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, 2/14/08



Excitement in the crowd was palpable; fans climbed the stage at least fifteen times. A relentless bunch, much like Black Lips who tour incessantly. This special Valentine’s Day show at the El Rey was the one L.A. had been waiting for, since their last show in October was cut short. The bros even came out– Kevin “Spanky” Long was in the audience along with an eclectic fan base that mirrors Black Lips’ music. You can catch them next on the same day Jack Johnson [controversially] graces Coachella’s stage.

Black Lips @ Echoplex, 10/20/07
What would a Black Lips show be without unanticipated incidence? Err…not a Black Lips show. When I saw them in January it was singer/guitarist Cole Alexander dropping his pants, tonight at the echoplex it was having the plug pulled midway through the show. Confused fans remained inside chanting for their return, meanwhile equipment was already being carried out to their vans. Apparently guitarist Ian St. Pe dropped a full beer bottle on the ground and that was enough to anger echoplex owner and abruptly end the show. See comment #5 below on what actually went down, which was verified by the band’s reps. –Ed. The band have toured nonstop in support of their latest release, Good Bad, Not Evil, and are likely to return to L.A. sometime. After fans cleared out, Black Lips hung outside until the early a.m. A fight even broke out in the street at some point; it seems adventure surrounds Black Lips.

Blonde Redhead @ Sunset Junction, 8/18/07

Blonde Redhead @ Sunset Junction, 8/18/07Last fall Blonde Redhead kicked off a Southern California outdoor festival trifecta of sorts at the LA Weekly Detour Festival. This was followed by a tremendous performance at Coachella Valley Festival in April. The latest stop for the band in support of 23, Sunset Junction combined outdoor music with amusement rides and community participation, separating itself from the other walloping festivals. Kazu Makino, Amedeo and Simone Pace performed energetically, with fervor, and differently than the other festival performances I’ve caught. As they walked off Kazu blew kisses to the large crowd and hesitated to leave the stage before blowing more, and finally departing. Blonde Redhead performs with Midnight Movies at the Glass House tonight.
