Byrom, Bakersfield and other questions you didn't ask, answered!
WONDERKILLER
The place where wonder goes to die ...
Can't keep a Byrom or a Buck down: Monty Byrom and Buck Owens at the Crystal Palace New Years 1999.
MONTY! MONTY!: Local blues rocker Monty Byrom is threatening to start playing around town again. I received a call today from his publicist Ms. M that the former Big House frontman is tanned, rested and considering returning to the stage. The last time I wrote about Monty he was expecting a new baby and a big new concert series with Fishlips. Well, the baby bounced out the same night as the concert and it had to be cancelled. Monty, since then, has been spending time with baby. Now that the kid is at 10 months Ms. M says he's possibly ready to start playing around town again.
STREETS OF BAKERSFIELD: There's a-rumor a-roaming that country music cable network CMT is doing a special on the 20 greatest city songs and that our own "Streets of Bakersfield" by Buck Owens may be amongst them. The network is supposed to be stopping by in town next week to shoot various shots of our fair city for an upcoming TV program.
STUFF N' JUNK: ...PJ's Jazz and Blues Club downtown (1927 K St.) is starting a "chicken n' waffles" night on Thursday's at 7 p.m. ... "10" actress Bo Derek totally supports her man, actor John Corbett's country career. When I needed a picture of him she personally e-mailed it to me herself. That's love. John opens for Josh Turner at the Crystal Palace tonight ... The Jungle Cafe (700 Truxtun Ave.) hoppin'. It's working line-dancing lessons and karaoke on Mondays, family night on Tuesdays, disco on Wednesdays and is rocking the old school, funk, classic rock, jazz, dance music and more Friday and Saturday nights ... Two people were kind enough to send my directionally challenged ass directions to all-ages rock venue The Gate. Thanks Rob and Debbie!
I like Flipsyde! Really!: Flipsyde fans don't hate me for making fun of their clothes yesterday! Jokes they were! Jokes! I keed! I keed! I snark out of love!
QUOTABLE: From political, Oakland hip hop act Flipsyde's Piper on how Flipsyde was born: "Long story short, it was Soundwave Studios. It's a rehearsal studio in Oakland. All different types of bands are there, heavy metal, punk, hip hop. We all started hanging out at the bar together. Started playing music. Everyone liked what we were doing. Next thing you know we're a band."
