Dec 20, 2011 No Comments by

by Sean W. What a weekend!  I am a huge Odin fan.  I love their debut Don’t Take No For An Answer and the subsequent albums all had some killer tunes on them.  When I found out in the Spring that Odin was doing a show, I had to go.  I’ve wanted to see them [...]

Every once in awhile I’d get a little perk, maybe a poster or a t-shirt from a film, a video or DVD here and [...]

Oct 09, 2011 No Comments

by Karen Kritzer LA’s Roxy Theater.  2007.  Sid was long dead.  Lydon’s “Public Image Limited” was also laid to rest.  Steve Jones was hosting “Jonesy’s Jukebox” on Indie 103.1 and I was/am a rabid Jonesy fan.  Paul Cook guested on Steve’s show and their banter about their Sex Pistols days were side splitting hilarious. Word [...]

$5.00 bucks to be a part of history

Sep 29, 2011 No Comments

by Karen Kritzer The Clash.  $5.00 bucks to see the Clash.  $5.00 bucks to be a part of history.  There is no price you can put on this show.  You simply had to be here.  Imagine this:  There was an early 6:00 pm show of an Israeli folk singer that night.  No one remembers that, [...]

Tim Curry ’79

Aug 19, 2011 1 Comment

by Karen Kritzer Any opportunity I had to see Tim Curry perform on and off screen in the 70′s was a night of dress up, decadence and delight. He downplayed his Rocky Horror persona for this show but, really, you can’t take the camp out of a Curry show now, can you? He strutted, he [...]
