WHEEEEEWWW!!! What a night. CD's were distributed, booties were shaken, and Wadin'-n-Wailin' head-lined the VIPER ROOM marquee.
To all our new friends and fans, our hats off, lovely to meet you.
To all our stalwart friends, we blush at your constant support.
Spiderman played drums, as well as a heavily- celebrated Mr.Baron. Aussies screamed and Little Rock-ers turned into big rockers.
The Larry Bagby Band jammed on and washed away the stench of desperation left by the valiant futility of the night's opening act of, "funny people".
A suggestion for COMEDIANS:
Though sketch may be going the way of vaudeville, and improv the way of carbon-based fuels, even the over-exuberent General George Custer would have the sense to abandon such delusions in a ROCK VENUE.
STAND-UP COMEDIANS:
STAND-UP COMEDY SHOULD NOT MEAN THE AUDIENCE IS STANDING. That being said, you may wage the war of funny and disclose your personal isssues in ANY VENUE YOU DEEM FIT.
No folks, comedy is NOT dead, just statistically un-funny.
My sympathies abound as none of the patrons found my glee at the death of KEN LAY too entertaining either. You can't fault ignorance I guess.
Our recording sabbatical ended, our faith in humanity renewed, our thirst to entertain YOU with "righteous frivolity" unquenched- we return to the search for the perfect venue:
close
cheap
fun
timely
Any idears?
WE LOVE YOU LOST ANGELES!
