WONDERKILLER
Die! Wonder, die!
Is that a mesh top? Oh dear Lord, it is! I'm so Disturbed.
LET THE CHAOS BEGIN: Prepare your ears for bleeding now. Tickets are going sale this Saturday at 10 a.m. for the Aug. 4 show of metal rock act Disturbed. They'll be playing the MontGo Plaza. The tickets will only be available for purchase at Bakersfield Wireless in the East Hills Mall (center court) and there's a four ticket limit. Tickets are $22 a pop. Promoter Tim Gardea is expecting the tickets to fly fast and furious (he knows how you kids love yer ears bloodied and deaf), but if for some reason you don't go rabid over Disturbed bashing into town, tickets will go on sale July 5th on-line and at World Records, Wavelengths, Impact, Mainland's, Outerlimits and the East Hills Bakersfield Wireless. Want more info? Call 321-9400.
Tim Gardea's got more shows than P. Diddy's got clothes. Meet Diamond Nights — a band that's one pair of glittery leather pants away from "pleasure town."
TIM GARDEA CAN'T STOP: With the rock shows. I was on the phone with him this morning and it was all rock this, rock that ... $5 shows with KRAB Radio at the MontGo starting Saturday, July 9 with dollar beers, pizza and the future of Glam rock (ah ... Glam rock) Diamond Nights in the house. Tim swears they're new, they're hot and a cross between Queens of the Stone Age and Thin Lizzy. (I'm not going to front. I like Queen -- not the Stone Age kind but Freddie Mercury falsetto in hot pants, gayer than a San Francisco Gay Pride parade Queen -- so Diamond Nights sounds like angelic hymns to crotch rock godliness compared to the usual screaming that passes for music in these parts. (I'm not going to lie to you, ye fans of Disturbed and my Big Sis — I hate metal. It doesn't have a good beat and you can't dance to it.) In other news, these boys-without-shirts-with-falsettos will be playing with The Rainman Suite, Karmahitlist and Halfmoon Drive. Wanna take a listen to Diamond Nights? Click here.
CAN YOU TELL TIM GARDEA CALLED ME TODAY?: And left me a bunch of e-mails? You're noticing a theme, right? The theme is "Tim Gardea called me today and left me a bunch of emails." Like how for the new KRAB shows at the MontGo they'll play the CDs of local bands on the air the week of the show and how they're teaming up with Brighthouse cable to film the shows then air them on the same channel that shows the high school sports games. He also told me that the Bakersfield Thunder Run (the bike show over Father's Day weekend) kicked all kinds of ass and more than 10,000 people rolled through the two-day event at the Fairgrounds. Tim says they're definitely planning to do this again for as long as they can do it and always on Father's day weekend. And he also told me that these fellows are coming to the MontGo this weekend: July 5 Strangers Die Everyday, Naive, Morning Ashes, Youmaydieinthedesrt and Signal Hill; July 6 Quarterhourse, Sioux City Sarsaparilla, Norfolk, Cecilia In Red and Dante Esperanza
A blast from Monty's past — his old band Little Elvis. Can you guess which one of these shaggy-haired rockers is the Full Monty?
MONTY-PALOOZA: Proving that Tim Gardea isn't the only person who called me today Ms. M also phoned to let me know that former Big House frontman Monty Byrom's return to the stage after a "daddy-and-me" hiatus is official. He's heading back to Fishlips (1517 18th St.) on Aug. 6, 13 and 20. His threats to take the mike again and wreck all sorts of havoc will come to fruition, Ms. M assured me. She also assured me that there was nothing wrong with my fatal love for disgusting dollar Totino's cardboard pizza.
IN OTHER WONDERS: ... E-mail still spotty at the Cali. Reporters and editors continue to moan and kvetch ... Fishlips finally has a web site. Pop the champagne and pass around the fried fish. Ms. M promises that they will update it religiously. Does this mean Shawna, the Fishlips everywoman, and the internet are finally friends? ... Tom Cruise still holding Katie Holmes captive, but this may work in his favor after all according to Defamer.com ... Funk masters Fat Bob are back at Gumbeaux's where they belong. Smuv and the gang take the stage July 9. I'll go if Smuv promises never, ever to hit on me again. Ever ... I got my Chris Isaak tickets and I ain't sharin' ... Gatsbys American Dream will be playing Jerry's Pizza on August 9th ... I keep getting calls from folks about local promoter Nate Berg's "hiatus" from Jerry's. Dudes! I know! I already blogged about it! As a result of his absence promoter's now flock to Jerry's en masse to book shows. Rumors abound that Berg's run off to Fresno or moved to Canada and all other sorts of Loony Toons crap I don't believe ... And that's the news, people! May your fourth of July rock the socks! I've got beer, parties and rock 'n' roll to cozy up to and get all friendly-like with, so I'll see ya'll at the Honey Comb Hideout come Tuesday ...
