Pumpkin Beer And Punk! A Night Of Live Music At Biergarten This Thursday, Nov 4th 8:00 PM (Freeeee!)

Punk, Beer Or Food? For Once, A Night Of All 3!


Introducing an awesome night of live music at Biergarten!

Both my worlds will clash this upcoming Thursday night as a few of my o.g high school homies (actually my age!) show Koreatown what's up with their true East L.A born-and-bred soulful sounds.



Dance Inducing and Fun Producing: The Shagrats


First up we have the twang spiked, psychedelic evolved sounds of The Shagrats! Boots (singer) and I used to listen to The Casualties and drink 40 oz since we were in Middle School man. They played at my 21st birthday party and tore shit up with their bluezy beats and fervidly synced power chords.


The Delirians: Do it steady! Rocksteady!


Second up are The Delirians. Anthony Medina (keys; organist) and I used to talk about cute girls--and teachers--back in my mocoso Garfield High School days. I've seen these guys evolve from fast and loud "Ska-Core" to the mellow and bouncy sound that they have now.





Also in the lineup is Anomalie & The Speakeasy Earth The powerful lyrics and catchy guitar shreddage of this one woman band has recently captivated me (meaning listening to her EP sometimes 5 times in a row, he he).






And last but not least, the guys of Backseat Bingo will be charming the ladies with their jocular lyrics and entertaining beats.

Sooo...shooot doooown! Have a beer (or 5) and bob your head at least!

First band goes up at 8! (hopefully!)
Freeeeeee!

Jonathan Gold's 2nd Annual Union Station Speakeasy Fundraiser for Zocalo Public Square Happening This Saturday (Followed By The Gears At The Redwood!)

Busy As Hell Recently: But Still Finding That Time For Puro Pinche Pari!



Finally! A food and drink event that doesn't clash with my recent traveling schedule!

I'm proud to announce that I have been asked to cover this awesome event this year and will do so with utmost thirsty diligence! Pretty excited, I'm not going to front. I can finally attend these events that I'm pinche "legal". After all, it was this very event last year that landed me my mention on the New Yorker.


(Taken from Email)


This year, along with Jonathan Gold, we are celebrating the speakeasy style of downtown LA with cocktails by 213 (Cole’s Red Car Bar, The Varnish, Las Perlas, and Seven Grand), and nine of the finest restaurants in town (Lazy Ox, First & Hope, Come Ca, Providence, Jar, Rustic Canyon, Susan Feniger’s Street, Grace, and Rivera). We’ve also invited KCRW’s Garth Trinidad to spin music all night. Chef Ludo Lefebvre will be attending, among other celebrity chefs.



I know the ticket price ain't something you're used to (at $185 a person) but its not like Zocalo doesn't deserve it. Since 2003 these guys have been bringing interesting people and the community together to cover the deepest of topics. All free, they keep it real as a non profit. Not to mention the admission price is probably 1/4 the price of how much $ it would actually cost to all these big hitter bars and restaurants one by one.


As if the night couldn't get any better...all this followed by a show from The Gears at The Redwood at Midnight! Good thing The "Pirate Bar" is walking distance from Union Station. Wow, going to be a fun weekend indeed.

So...who's down?
