GIGANTIC VINTAGE: Oddly enough one of the reason's Gigantic Vintage moved from its sweet spot next door to Downtown Records to the MontGo had to do with some issues with a promoter at Jerry's Pizza. Now that promoter is gone and Gigantic is booking music gigs at the downtown haven of punk rock and pizza. That my friends is what we literary types call "irony." Their first show was last Friday. Gigantic's next show is tonight featuring New Thrill Parade, Mammatus, A Cut to the Face With Jets and more. Dante Esperanza and a whole bunch of bands played the first show last week. Gigantic has three more shows scheduled in August.
MONTY IN THE MORNING: Catch former Big House frontman Monty Byrom on KBAK 29's Daybreak with Rusty and Lisa early Friday morning. He'll be singing live after being interviewed by L-Boogie and the Shoopster. (And I can call them that because we totally used to kick it, big willie-style, on Thursday mornings before I realized 4 a.m. was an unnaturally hour for me to wake up.) Monty will be on around 6 a.m.
Vendetta Red
VENDETTA RED: I go to chat with Zach Davidson about his band Vendetta Red. You can read more about him and the new album in Thursday's Eye on Entertianment section. We chatted about how dark and demented the music of Vendetta Red can get: "It's really, really creepy. I'm saying things I really shouldn't say. A lot of serious, descriptions of mass genocide, gang rape and not things that are socially acceptable." Hmmm. Um, yeah. I'm going to go with the notion that Vendetta Red is probably not my kind of band since I'm more of a "vintage Prince in black thigh highs and man panties" kind of girl. (Thanks for the DVD of the "Dirty Mind" concert, Matt M.! I love it!)
YADDA YADDA YADDA: ... The Distrubed show is almost sold out. If you want tickets to the Aug. 4 show at the MontGo you need to head out to Bakersfield Wireless in East Hills Mall, World Records, Wavelengths SBI, Impact Streetwear, Outer Limits or the Mainland stores because there are no more on-line tickets available. Tickets are $22. You snooze, you lose on Disturbed, Bakerinos ... Dr. BLT, the song blogger with the more music per hour message is off on his latest creative endeavour with "U.S.Eh?" his joint collabo with Darryl Ens who the BLT "used to jam with back in their hometown of Saskatoon" as a young BLT. Their first musical offereing is called "Backstreets of Your Mind." Check out the track here. You can also check out Bruce's screaming baby jam, dedicated to his newborn kid, "Nice, Nice Baby" here ... Man selling his freedom of speech on eBay ... Check out the smooth musical stylings of Paul Sorenson and Near Miss Mallet Friday from 6-8 p.m. at Dagny's ... Speed dating tonight at PJ's Nite Club, folks. I'm going to kick it with Phil and gawk at the daters! Much love and see you on the morrow!

Gotta love the courage of the anonymous ravager of Bakersfield, savaging every nightclub and musical note uttered in Kern County. I am sure in anonymousland every band is trancendant and every bar hunny is the next It girl.
I already told you, son. Get you some and chill. Your sexual frustration is starting to show!
