WONDERKILLER

It's the end of wonder as we know it and I feel fine

















It's Capt. Hook and Smee in the BCT's production of "Peter Pan."


LET'S ALL GO TO THE THEATER: ... And see some shows. Like "Peter Pan" at the Bakersfield Community Theatre or "Laugh-In" at the Spotlight. In fact, you can see "Laugh-In" tonight for only $5 if you're heading downtown for the street faire. Of course I'll probably kick it at the fair before moving on to see either "Laugh-In" or "Closer" at the Empty Space. It's both closing weekend for "Closer" and "Peter Pan." I'll either see it tonight or on Saturday for the closing night show. Alas, I've been bereft with unnaturally busy weekends so if you don't spot me at your play it's because, gosh darn it, I have so many things to do and so little time to do it all in.






















Dead center in black with the beard is dear ol' Monty with his band Big House back in 1998.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Ms. M sent me the word on blues rock musician Monty Byrom's upcoming shows at Fishlips this August as part of his "There's No Place Like Home" tour. The former Big House frontman will be packing the house at Fishlips Saturdays, Aug. 6, 13 and 20th. All shows are at 9 p.m. and the cover is only $3. I had dinner with Monty not too long ago and the man is full of great stories about his life in the music business. Naturally, I can repeat back nothing, (my loose lips are amazingly sealed) but it was great! He's a fun guy. If you go to the show it will be a $3 more than well spent because there is nothing about the Mont man that says "three dollar show." You're practically ripping him off. He's almost giving the goodness away.





































Vendetta Red, now with Epic Records and a new album set to drop soon, is coming to town.

PEOPLE, PLACES AND LOTS OF THINGS: ... Vendetta Red is returning to Bakersfield. I have a phone interview with them Friday. They're playing The Gate July 29th, promoting songs off their new release "Sisters of the Red Death" set to drop Aug. 30th. FYI: the lead singer, Zach, is a Bakersfield boy ... Pattern Is Movement is also coming to town Aug. 6, playing a Gigantic Vintage show at the MontGo ... Also, Gigantic Vintage's AJ and Alex are getting ready to start putting on shows at Jerry's Pizza ... Mon Frere is also coming to town and I'm already a fan after listening to their "Real Vampires EP" all week long. I espcially love the second track "Up Circle." They have a great dance punk thing going on, similar to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They're playing Studio 99 Aug. 8th. ... See you at the Downtown Street Fair tonight, Bakerinos!
