Wicked Garden: Stone Temple Pilots, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club @ Nokia Theater LA, 10/29/10

I wasn’t very excited to go to this show. 6 days before, I’d seen it in Corpus Christi, and it was just…ok. Not bad, just not a standout. But this show would end up being lightyears better. We walked up to the venue about an hour before doors and there’s barely a line. This area [...]

Time Warp: Tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show @ The Wiltern, 10/28/10

It was with much antici…..pation that I looked forward to my first trip back to California after moving away in July. It is too soon to return to SF, but LA has always been a happy escape for me. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I had a great time spending it in LA last [...]

Trick or Treat: Halloween Hootenanny: Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Murderdolls @ Concrete Street Amphitheater, Corpus Christi, 10/24/10

“Are you guys going to Rob Zombie?” they shout from the car. Is it that obvious? I look down at my snakeskin boots and answer in the affirmative. “Where is the venue?” We quickly give directions since we were there already last night. 5 minutes later: “Hey- you’re going to the show, right?!” another car [...]

Big Empty: Stone Temple Pilots, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Tab the Band @ Concrete Steet Amphitheater, Corpus Christi, 10/23/10

“Drivin’ faster in my car…“ My friend comments on how quickly we made it to Corpus…and I let her know we were going about 90 the whole way. I’ve had about three hours of sleep, and I have a lot on my mind. I love to drive fast when I’m thinking things through. “Falling farther [...]

Risk: Deftones, EightFourSeven @ Stubb's, 10/19/10

“You can’t talk I’m anxious I’m off the walls I’m right here just Come outside And see in But pack your heart You might need it I will find a way I’m confused, ohh But I think I can try I will save your life I will try for you” ‘Risk‘ I left the show [...]

Black Gives Way to Blue: BlackDiamondSkye: Alice in Chains, Deftones, Mastodon @ The Joint at the Hard Rock, 10/16/10

I have little faith in anything except that life always balances itself out. In fact, I’m kind of obsessive about it: the minute something bad happens, I get through it by knowing something good is coming my way. And then when something good happens, I know bad is lurking around the corner. Perhaps this would [...]

Feel the Steel: Steel Panther @ House of Blues Las Vegas, 10/15/10

My friend and I are finishing up a chocolate souffle and a glass of champagne at a French restaurant overlooking Las Vegas in Mandalay Bay when something catches my eye. A table of women near us get up to leave, stumbling in their high heels and mini skirts with botox-blank faces. ‘Eyes of a Panther’ [...]

Miss Pamela Des Barres' Writing Workshop, Austin, TX, 10/7-8/10

I’ve often joked that if I were to write a memoir of my rock ‘n roll adventures, it would be entitled ‘I’m Not With The Band’. I read Pamela Des Barres’ ‘I’m With The Band‘ long ago. Like many other girls, I drooled over her stories and turned green with envy….mostly over the fact that [...]

Austintatious: Early Man, Evile, Bonded By Blood, Lions of Tsavo @ Emo's, 10/3/10

I was driving down 7th street, thinking how oddly quiet it seemed out tonight, full on tacos from Guero’s. I turned the corner onto Red River, looking for parking, when I spy Ol Drake lifting weights by the band’s trailer and screech to a stop and honk. He looks startled as I roll down the [...]

Time No More: Evile, Bonded By Blood @ White Rabbit, 10/2/10

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but we can’t seem to locate you. It appears you are in the middle of nowhere. Can you call back when you’re in a more populated area?” ARGH! I forgot that OnStar can’t find me here. Leaving bed for the first time in four days was already frazzling me, and I hadn’t [...]
