So you still haven’t left the house in 2003 huh?
O.K you loser- here it is again in its second installment.
Publicity Whore's cutting look at what's really
going on around LA. So many shows, so little time.
The
Pasadena Civic Center - Rock and Wrestling at The Comic
Convention
In
these days of Political Correctness, it’s great
to see some true “politically incorrect”
& wild entertainment. It was an evening of Rock
and Wrestling Madness, from the Sci-Fi and Horror, Comic
Convention gurus 'Creation Entertainment.'
Spike Liberty from Foriegn
Object
It’s
always fun to watch ultra conservative Pasadena being
invaded by the punk rock hooligans and wild misfits
from Hollywood. The Dickies are a perfect band for the
Publicity Whore audience because not only do they play
some incredibly tight old school new wave punk rock,
but their shows includes crazy stage props (its just
like the usual stuff you’ll find around the Publicity
Whore office) like dog hand puppet, blow-up dolls &
plastic clubs. It’s a throwback to the seventies,
and rather than pretty boys sportin' Hot Topic gear,
it’s a band that just wants to have some wild
and crazy fun. Also, it was a legendary day when Stan
Lee (Guitarist) and Stan Lee (comic book guru/Spiderman
creator) met for the first time.
Is the Dickies Guitarist
the real Stan Lee?
The
opening band was the amazing and incredible Foreign
Object. Foreign Object is one of my personal favorite
local bands in the Hollywood scene because not only
do they play a great mix of punk rock tunes, but they
also include a blow out slam banging punk rock wrestling
match to go with it. Concert goers by forewarned - when
attending a Foreign Object show, always watch out for
flying chairs, and performers.

Agent
Orange
@ The Key Club in Hollywood
It's
twenty-five years later and they're still screwed up
kids who refuse to grow-up. I am talking about the Rich
Kids On LSD (aka RKL), an old school favorite among
the punk elite. These boys who call themselves 'RKL'
bring to the stage their own brand of hard-core energy
and a true 'anything goes' spirit.

and Jason from RKL
It
was another great show at the best live music venue
in Hollywood 'The Key Club'. Also performing was Terminal
Holocaust, Hollywood Hate, Bad Samaritans, Mornington,
Dead Lazlo’s Place and the headliner for the evening
- the legendary surf punk rock band, Agent Orange. Mike
Palm has been with band since the beginning and still
keeps rocking after all these years. Agent Orange also
has Rusty on drums who rips up some killer surf rock
beats.

The Key Club
This
show also documented a moment in music history, since
it had been 25 years since RKL had played with Agent
Orange. Dead Lazlo's Place are also still rocking today
and bring back the old school pop punk days of The Descendents.
The evening also was the record release party for Hollywood
Hate. The Key Club was literally packed wall to wall
with Mohawks, social degenerates and body piercings,
proving the punk rock spirit of Hollywood is still alive
and thriving.

Club
Paranormal
@ The Key Club
w/ Pinhead & The Peppermint Creeps
Those
wild and colorful creatures 'The Peppermint Creeps'
played another show at The Key Club. It was also the
anniversary of 'Club Paranormal' and included performances
from Pinhead, Rakit, Specimen 32 and 'Heavenly Trip
To Hell'. Club Paranormal is an out of this world event
that brings together some of the best talent in the
heavy metal & glam rock Hollywood scene.

Paranormal
and drummer from The Peppermint Creeps
Pinhead
ripped through a heavy melodic metal set and The Creeps
freaked out the norms with their wild stage performance
and out of this world make-up. Pinhead plays loud, hard
hitting, in your face metal with melodic beats and great
vocals. The Peppermint Creeps bring the glam scene back
with their outlandish outfits and an outrageous stage
performance.

Exploiting
Eve
@ The Key Club

Publicity
Whore would like to congratulate Exploiting Eve on signing
with their new music managment company 'IMC Entertainment'.
If you're looking for a soulful, grooving rock band
then you need look no further than Exploiting Eve. The
band is a favorite on the LA scene, and sets a great
example for bands to follow on how to 'Do it Yourself'.
It doesn't hurt either that their frontwoman Janelle
is smokin hottie and packs a powerful vocal punch. Also
taking the stage were Overload, Freelance Johnson, D-Toxx,
and Love 45.

The
White Trash Debutantes
@ The Garage
It
was another night of wild romping ruckus with Publicity
Whore's friends 'The White Trash Debutantes'. The Garage
in Silver Lake is a great place to swill cheap drinks
and watch local punk rock bands on any given night of
the week.

White Trash Debutantes
The
White Trash Debutantes, with the one and only Ginger,
always put on one bad ass, sexy in your face performance.
Along for the evening was punk rock straight out of
Eureka, California - "Nuns With Guns". So
if the Hollywood scene has jaded you and you're pulling
your hair out trying find a new dive worth crashing,
give The Garage a try.

Hornblowers
Comedy Club
"A night out with Mike Marino"
Publicity
Whore had a chance to get the hell out of Hollywood
(which everyone needs to do now and again) and check
out New Jersey's Bad Boy Mike Marino at Hornblowers
in Ventura County. Hornblowers is a very classy club
and showcases some of the best up and coming comedians
that Southern California has to offer. If you haven't
had a chance to check out Mike Marino be forwarned -
you will definitely laugh your ass off!!! The guy is
pure comic genius and brings out the Italian gangster
persona perhaps better than any other comic we've seen
in a very long time. His jokes about joining the Von's
club (aka: Gangs for White People) were big hits with
the homegrown & pasty white Ventura crowd.
What
you looking at?
On
the bill was also a very funny comedian named Sebastian.
Sebastian has opened for Andrew Dice Clay and brings
his own style of Italian humor; combined with Marino
it proved the perfect one two punch. So if you're looking
for some great comedy and a reason to get out of the
San Fernando Valley (besides the shitty air of course)
then check out Hornblowers in Ventura County - it's
on the water.
