FW: upcoming entertainment
The Queers are a great band. Kinda like The Ramones, but less mature. You can get an idea of the fun level from the song titles on their last CD:
- No Tit
- Punk Rock Girls
- I'm OK, You're Fucked
- I Only Drink Bud
This has a lyric for Scott:
People from
Like to brag about Old Style
Before I drink that swill again
It's going to be awhile!
- Born To Do Dishes
I wish I could go, but it is Thursday night. The Bottom of the Hill is a fun place.
I will not miss the Gore Gore Girls this Friday at The Blank Club in SJ.
Rock 'N Roll girls from
What more could you want?
They have also added a Gore Gore Boy as a bassist for those of you who lean that way.
See you down front,

FW: music this summer
Gogol Bordello were mind blowing. If you get the chance to see them, do so.
Dub FX and Dub Congress are playing tonight at the Blank Club. Dub FX is too pop and mainstream for my taste, but Dub Congress has real roots. I won't make it, but next weekend I'll be out and about.
Next Friday at the Blank Club will be good. Yvonne said INSPECT HER GADGET are fun. I know FABULOUS DISASTER are great. How can you not like punk chicks playing loud fast guitars?
Next Saturday at Slim's will be good. Groovie Ghoulies are very good at the Ramonesque fun punk thing. The Mr. T Experience has a zillion good songs with clever lyrics.
Sometime in August the Gore Gore Girls from Detroit are coming back to the Blank Club. Probably to dance with Enrique again!
See you down front.

MTX (known by the long-form The Mr. T Experience) has been a ferociously inventive band since their 1986 self-released debut album, "Everyone's Entitled To Their Own Opinion." 10 albums and over 200,000 in sales later, MTX is still better at what they do than anyone else. What began as a Brit-influenced art punk band became one of the earliest and most compelling pop punk bands of all time. MTX has kept growing over the years, pushing pop songwriting and arranging as a post-pop punk rock band. The 13 songs of their latest release "Yesterday Rules" sounds like what they are: the creation of a songwriter who has created and mastered genres and is at the height of his powers. Dr. Frank's songs are so consistently catchy and witty that is almost easy to take the output of his remarkable band for granted. But to do so and miss out on the amazing new songs would be a mistake!

Gogol Bordello at Blank Club, SJ - a photoset on Flickr
This was a tremendous show. They put so much energy out. Many impassioned dancers in the crowd. Including yours truly. I wish my knee was 100% so I could really let go, but it was still a catharsis.
Here is a short sound clip from the show...
