World Famous In San Francisco

Speaking of photos, there's a bunch from the last time I went down to LA with Hard Place.

The kids down in LA are kinda totally fun. A party with three bands that doesn't start until 11? Announced kinda last minute? They are there. No, they're even fashionably late -- while up north we're all heading home at that time. This party was super fun. A Monster America party for the Fourth of July with Logo Moi, Hot Tub, and Hard Place. Logo Moi is super enthusiastic and friendly with keyboards, guitar and drums. A kind of twee pop I never envisoned myself liking, but its growing on me mostly due to this band's stage presence and the quirky nature of the songs. Song introductions (and the occasional song I'll wager) come to a screeching halt so that the band can introduce the audience to somebody they met just before their set. Honestly, they're really happy you came so don't be a jerk and miss them at the Stork Club this month.



Next was this band Hot Tub, from Oakland by way of the White Rapper Show, played. From what I heard, I think they think that being from Oakland is all you need to do to rap. They're kinda old school, maybe retro even. Very 2005. Ok, actually I heard somebody in the audience say that so its totally ok for me to hate on this band because I'm not the only one (for once).

Then Hard Place came out and reminded us what this nation is all about: rock 'n roll, budweiser and girl on girl action covered in whipped cream. Check:
