THE SMOOTHEST NEW PHOTOS: SMOOTH GROOVES REUNION, ANAVAN, HOLI BUFFAGLOW, VAMPIRE PUSSY, & SPELLCASTER!!!

So yeah you were promised “twice as rock” for this past Monday’s show… and we fuckin’ delivered!!!!

The Smooth Grooves reunion was sublime… Like the Ruins, Primus and Jimi Hendrix all jamming together. Anavan blasted into hyperspace, the “Denver dudes” (aka Vampire Pussy and Spellcaster) proved they are some of the best noise you could ever hope to hear, and Holi Buffaglow was punk *and* funk.

Add to all that musical goodness a video shoot for the new Mae Shi cover of that Miley Cyrus song, and this was the perfect Monday show… Kinda like a “happening,” man—like “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” (my favorite movie) minus the acid. “THIS IS MY HAPPENING AND IT FREAKS ME OUT!”

This week I am doing two shows. Peter Moran organized the fest (and created perhaps my favorite poster of ALL TIME!) with Jonathan “Captain Ahab” Snipes, and I joined in the fun. I am doing wristbands for both, and I got them today… they are different than anything I’ve ever tried. VERY special. And Monday it’s Kyle and Josh’s last supergroup—Guns ‘n Broses with Grace Lee singing. Who else does a fest on a Sunday and a Monday?!?! Don’t miss out!

Peter’s Pool Boys, Jonathan Snipes and Sean Carnage present…
