Why Club NME isn't packed every week is beyond me. The caliber of live performances there is consistently high and last night was no exception. I went solo since Carlos was out sick, Ivan was at Brazilian Girls and I couldn't find anyone else who was available for last minute fun. I hung out with Dia and some people that I met for the first time last night. Handed out copies of The Rockit. Saw people reading copies that they had acquired from the front of the club. Then, when the bands played, I found an empty table and bench spot and sat down with my notebook and pen, scribbling away fragments that will turn into a show review.
People of San Diego, I suggest you check out Electrocute on 2/10, when the duo plays the Beauty Bar. L.A. kids, you can catch them on 2/13 at Hyperion Tavern. "Shag Balls" is when you will totally lose it, when you will want to star jumping on top of the bar stools and shaking your own maracas.
People of Las Vegas, check out The Lady Tigra on 2/14 at Alladin. Everyone else in L.A., you suck. You should have been at the show. You would have been running onstage to dance, hugging your friends and falling in love The Lady Tigra. You would have regained your faith in the world because sometimes the people who made songs you loved as a kid can still make songs that you will love.
