Vibra Optic '73

Okay, so Adult Film wasn't on the bill for this last show in Fullerton after all. But Adrian Rodriguez (Adult Film) did book the night and apparently enjoyed us, so a future show with both Vibra Optic and Adult Film is in order, so stay tuned for that. In the mean time, we will be performing this Saturday 26 at the legendary Tribal Cafe in Echo Park. Its gonna be early, like 3pm so make sure you order your food around 2-2:15 or so to get it in time. I've already put in my order for the avocado club and I'm salivating.

The show in Fullerton was definately an enjoyable one, somewhat similar to the first show. It was later admitted to me by Bronson that our opening jam literally gave him an erection so i guess that should be a good indicator that things are functioning well. Special thanks to Stay Cool Forever for opening and coming thru in a clinch. They had about as much warning as we have for most of our shows, so I really appreciate it that they came and played even with sick/missing members. Real Troopers. Thanks guys, you killed it IMO.

Stay Cool Forever, to my understanding, started out as a two peice between Keith Yergens (keys, vox) and Nic Chacon (drums) and has now expanded to a five peice including my good friend Gustavo Franco of She Knew It Was There Somewhere, Franco's solo project. Now Stay Cool is definately something of a different nature-full of horror and irony. And I mean that in good way. Inhumanly uptempo beats over a sea of reasurring casio sounds remeniscent of a six year old's wet dreams stemmed from his Oedipus Complex. A blend of magical resolutions and cartoonish fantasies seem to run wild broken occasionally by brief outbursts of primal scream therapy. All the while that this is going on-and this is the scary ironic part- the band as a whole looks tormented and depressed! I like to think of them as the band version of the Christmas Critters from Southpark. All cute and fuzzy, yet scary and demented at the same time. Very trippy. If you haven't heard of them, make sure you give them a listen. Great Job, guys! I really enjoyed it.

This also marks the first show that we've gotten on tape. I'll post the videos as soon as we get them up. Anyways, lots of stuff going on in the works as far as shows go. July and August should see us pretty busy. Lots of other things on the sidelines as well. Speaking of which I played a gig last night for something called the Legends Ball. Which was basically a Playa's Ball like from hbo and that dave chappelle skit. I got a video of these guys talkin about their pimp game. Enjoy.
