For all of y’all who just can’t stand to spend July 4th the usual way, hangin out in your confederate flag bikini and shootin’ your rifle at 2,000 empty Budweiser cans and bbq grilled Donut hot dogs, relief is on the way! Tee Pee records will be throwing a “New Weird America” festival in Los Angeles at the Nomad Gallery…featuring performances by Weird Owl, Night Horse, Ancestors, Farflung, Spindrift, Radio Moscow, etc….
Yes, yours truly will be playin all the classic southern rock jams that make you wanna howl at the lone moon night sky and play a cowboy song or two, tomorrow night at Footsie’s bar!
For the flyer, we recreated the classic draft resistence poster, so much fun! Can’t wait to see y’all there!
Come one, come all, you denim demons and rodeo queens!

Thanks to all who participated and joined in the fun at the LA ROCK/Swap Meet at Space 15 Twenty last Sunday! All Seeing Eyes kicked off the set with a Small Faces, big bravado induced swagger good time, old schoo, long haired, teenage rock n’ roll. Mack Winston played it cool (shades mostly in tact) in the Sunday heat calling to mind Saturday night Slade, the Cars’ pop hooks, and lots of leather! Last but not least was Din Caliber, whose heavy Hendrix inspired licks that could even turn Heavy Cream into butter. DJ Starrsign added some righteous in between riffage in between sets as well!
Vendors included lovely organic cleaning products by Clean Peace, biker metal head hesher axe-wielding beer cozies and the like from Emilio’s Pocket, sweet somethings by CutXPaste, independent publications from Narrow Books, LA Weekly sign ups & t-shirts, rock n’ roll wooden paintings by Shang A. Lang, Apparel & Magazines by Beautiful/Decay, muscle & might by REAL Rock ‘n’ Roll movers, and interdimensional photography and 3-D design by Ryan Colditz!
