And so, Paulie, the man who introduced L.A. to the way of the L Train is now returning to the town with the L Train (or, one of the towns: New York, not Chicago). His send-off bash is at this Saturday's Naked Lunch party. There will be tons of art, music and other cool stuff. If you have not yet witnessed the punk prowess of The Sharp Ease, this is your chance. I keep on missing Sterile Eden's (who are playing and promoting this party)shows, which makes me feel bad because I really love the songs posted on My Space. It sounds exactly as what you should expect to hear from kids who went to Helter Skelter back in 1995, but had the good sense to get out of the scene before they turned into the sort of dorks who look as if trapped in a Gene Loves Jezebel video (c. 1987) while turning Hot Topic bumper stickers into song titles. In other words, there is none of that vampyric rock shit here. It's creepy and electronic and makes me think of Virgin Prunes or Sex Gang Children on occasion. Also on the bill are Dirty Little Secret and Single Frame. Paulie, Raulie (82), Christopher (Fusion) and Maurice de la Falaise (Fancy) will be playing music all night and there is free booze (along with Astralwerks giveaways) between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m.
