What a wonderful month in the city of the Angels lots of events and places to go people to see places to do starting with the Cannabis Cafe which is Miley Cyrus’s cannabis collective restaurant and bar on highland near fountain. I had their cannabis infused expresso martini and can I just tell you it’s been a long time since I felt that flabbergasted over a cocktail. They have great merch great food great weed and you can have the best tacos or chicken dishes and you infuse them yourselves with this tiny vial of joy that comes with your dinner. They’ve just begun having entertainment starting with Toledo and his dancers kind of almost a burlesque show with some really jaw-dropping musical styling from the man himself. The restaurant used to be Lorelei where I used to throw parties a German restaurant my favorite dish there was the roasted brussel sprouts but I digress I’m looking forward to having dinner there and seeing the show tonight and I think every Thursday they’re going to have an event I went to the escondid last night to see the blue Shadows they used to be the house band at the cafe de Grande back in 1982 Javier is the lead singer and Bill Bateman former drummer of The blasters is the drummer of choice with Chris Helmsley on guitar and basically everybody in the band has been in the blue Shadows at one time or another over the last 40 years. The band sounded incredible with their early Blues stylings sometimes Javier reminds me of my grandfather who was about this minister they’ve got some special surprises coming up in the film world as well I’m not in Liberty to talk about but great things are going to happen for the blue Shadows or rather are happening for them and I’m happy to have gotten to see them mature over the last 40 years. September 21st through the 28th on the corner of Beverly hills and sunset boulevard on the strip at the Jaguar dealership there is a pop art show starring some of LA’s finest it’s right down the street from the Roxy in a jewelry box of an art gallery there will be films books signings and musical events during that one specific week in September so be there or be square. Looking forward to the big party at the rainbow this year always a good time I love to get my drinks from Maria at the back bar her and Lily were such good friends it’s now called the Lemmy’s lounge and that’s where you’ll find me lurking with my pals well let me the statue which actually contains some of his ashes will be smoking God knows what in his little metal case in the back. It looks like the Rammstein has broken up just when till was coming to LA on his solo tour and then he canceled that one as well I hope he gets well soon it’s been a hard time for them their guitar player quit and they’re organist got in a major accident I hope they clear up the allegations against them whatever they may be it would be sad to think they are the upstanding young men I thought they were… Of course they just remind me of David Lee Roth back in the day choosing girls at the zero to be his companion for the evening well anyway that’s what I read let’s just say allegedly personally I think David was so much fun it would be cool to hang out with him but you know these days in the me too you too them too we too tutu movements the girls and the boys don’t take responsibility for themselves knowing they should not trust strangers and what we all learned about stranger danger even if they are rock stars I mean hasn’t anyone seen theotley Crue movie?
Let’s talk about gothtober yes Virginia there is a gothtober and it will be held at the Crooked path in North Hollywood every weekend and Halloween so put on your best Gothic outfit and attend the parties at witchiest shop in the West.
How about those new Sex Pistols well it’s the real Sex Pistols without John lyden and with the guy named Frank Carter singing but it’s nice to hear the old tunes being belted by a real belter the boy is covered in tattoos and delivers the songs like a real nardcore hero. Mr lyden doesn’t mind he has public image limited and I’m pretty sure they’re going to start playing live soon so keep your ears open as things change and rearrange and bands like Oasis come back together.
Watch tequila TV West Hollywood public Access Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. and watch me do my best Huell Howser impression on the LA artist music scene it only takes a minute to tune in.
