"Older and Jadeder"... 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, last Saturday night's gig @The Doll Hut (complete with 9 o'clock Disneyland fireworks!) was pretty fun. Mike, Tyson, and Eric from Wolfhounds were in town recording with Paul Miner @Buzzbomb Studios (Ow! My foot!) and decided to stop by and hang out for a bit, which was cool. We spent the majority of the gig standing around checking out the bands that were playing and observing the sad fact that Punk kids will pretty much slam to anything nowadays, no matter how pathetic and asinine the band and the music are. As I stood there watching the Yeastie Boys embarrass themselves on the outside stage while the kids went ape shit for them, I commented to the guys that I was getting too old and jaded for this shit. Old and jaded? Mike said laughingly. You've been old and jaded since I met you almost 20 years ago! hahahah "Older and jadeder then" I said... LOL I dunno if it's me though. I mean, if a bands good I'll give them props - like this band that played that night, Damaged, they were fantastic! So was Carpit too, come to think of it. The rest of the bands that played? Just sad shitty cover bands really, surfing a wave of nostalgia, although there were some pretty sick covers played... I mean, I heard Flipper, R.K.L., Dr. Know, Circle Jerks, The Damned, D.I., Agression... good stuff. Just wished they played 'em better, that's all.

The gig the night before, the Sacrivox Music Festival, was pretty intense. 2 days, 4 stages full of all sorts of crazy ass Punk, Thrash, Metal, Beardcore, Rap and Indie bands were playing the thing, all singing the praise and glory of the Lord. Interesting so say the least. Getting to the gig was a nightmare. It literally took me 8 hours to drive from Vegas to Downey where the gig was happening at some crazy big church compound, so I didn't get to check out as many bands as I was planning on, but it was still a fun ass night, to say the least. All sorts of Rockstar trappings were included with the gig, including in house road crew (I didn't lift a thing), laminates, a souvenir programme for the event, and a backstage area full of food and drinks galore! Ahhhh. I could definitely get used to this! hahaha I got to the event as Doulos were playing (hi guys - and gal!), and they sounded fantastic with their new drummer and all, whoever he is, and Until We Die killed it as they always do. Chuck D. is a MONSTER guitarist, and Mark and Murph are always fun to hang around with and be around. During the Headnoise set I hit my China crash cymbal so hard it flew off the drum riser and perfectly chopped Robert's bass cord in half mid-song, but other than that little snafu it was a great set. I bashed my knuckle open while playing and bled all over the place. One of the guys from Grave Robber said it's not a good show unless there's blood involved, and he was right! ha ha ha People dug us and we made a lot of new friends - well, at least I did anyways! 😊 It was a fun time. It took forever for Grave Robber to set up / get their costumes and blood on, so quite a few people had left before they even got on stage (who leaves before the headliner plays? 😂) which was a shame because Grave Robber turned in a pretty cool set, looking like extras from some nightmare horror zombie flick and sounding a lot like the Misfits while doing so. I know it's lazy and cliched to say that about them but they fucking do. Stayed around chatting with everyone, trading merch with the bands, and once the festival organizers kicked us out, said my goodbyes to everyone before heading back to my hotel room, but not before stopping at Alberto's along the way for some grub just because. Oh Alberto's. ❤ You'll be the death of me yet.
