You may or may not have heard of Prima Donna, hailing from Los Angeles. If you haven’t heard their particular brand of sixties-ish Sonics era garage inspired rocknroll, do yourself a favor and change that. Like, right now. It’s okay, go. I’ll wait.
After a wicked week of craziness, sadly our west coast friends had to make their way back to California. After a brutal hangover morning at home, Jim and Tanya and I shook off our hangovers temporarily to go and say goodbye to the Cobras before they headed back to the city and then back home.
"EYYYY SPAGHETTI HEAD! I'M ROCKIN' HERE!!!" WILD times with these Cobras!
With my foggy memories from this whirlwind tour, I forgot to mention that Lori, Tim, and Jim and I kidnapped Trell (the Cobras’ keyboardist) and took him home to Trenton with us after Don Hill’s. Muahahaha!!!
Wait... What the hell is going on?
Waking up after the crazy night I had at Asbury wasn’t easy. But, since I woke up literally 10 minutes before checkout, I kind of blindly fumbled around, grabbed my things, and hit the road.
Friday morning was BRIGHT and sunny (ow!!) and made me feel a little like a wampire. Blehhhh. Creeping out into the blazing sunshine, I grabbed a coffee and a terrible sandwich from the local gas station, and we were back in the car heading home to get ready for the night’s festivities in NYC.
Even through my hungover, throbbing eyes I could hardly wait. Read more »
We rock. That is all.
After an epic start to the tour at Arlene’s Grocery, we headed down to Asbury Park for the next show at Asbury Lanes. I have to say that in hindsight, I think the Arlene’s show was probably my favorite. Both bands had something to prove. I felt like a proud mama hen watching my boys that night. These Honah Lee boys work so unbelievably hard week after week after week after week, writing, playing, rehearsing and then rehearsing some more. It was nice to see all those practices and late weeknights start to pay off with tours like this one. Read more »
LAMMIES!
The Party! Party! Party! Tour quickly went from an idea we bounced around jokingly to a reality. It all sort of hit me when the laminates arrived.
The tour was tossed around between the Mystic Knights of the Cobra and Jim and I on our trip to the Bay Area for New Year’s Eve at Toot’s. That was the first time we’d met and hung out with that whole crowd, and Jim and I were blown away at how awesome and welcoming those folks were to two complete strangers spending their first New Year’s Eve on the west coast. We partied till the breaka-breaka dawn with these folks… and thought that they’d fit right in with our crazy crowd of people here at home. Read more »
GO COBRAS GO!!!
My second night in the bay was spent rocking the hell out at the Uptown in Oakland. Read more »
So… this President’s Day weekend was spent in the most fun way I could think of. Last minute plane tickets and plans to see PINHEAD GUNPOWDER play GILMAN STREET. To someone who loves the Bay Area sound so much, this was an exciting trip! Read more »
I didn’t know Mark very well, but I definitely liked him. Last Friday, 2-5-10, he passed away suddenly. Really sorry to see him go. Hopefully, he’s in a better place now. Read more »
I regularly cover the Trenton 2 Nite events put on by the Trenton Downtown Association. We’re trying to breathe life and culture back into the city by having art and music events downtown.
