The Cat Club show in West Hollywood had a solid turn-out for a Sunday night show. The 60 or so people who came out to party with me on their Sabbath evening were relatively warm and appreciative for an L.A. audience; Though I did get a lot of people who stared creepily at me through out my entire performance – I’m not sure if it was my mesmorizing voice, my Elvis pompadour, or the large amounts of marijuana they’d smoked earlier in the night. Regardless, I did appreciate the focus.
The highlights of the show included a Rage Against the Machine Cover, “Killing in the Name of” where I sang the lyrics (instead of yelled/rapped them). I believe if you do a search for that on-line someone has posted a video of it. Warning, I didn’t edit any of the original lyrics if your familiar with the song. Big thanks to my L.A. band Joe, Jeff, and Marcelo for their hard work and preparation to make the show rock!! Great job guys!!
I’m glad to be home. This trip, especially the Southern California portion, was exhausting. Aside from some legitimate contacts we have that merit it, I’m tired of the name dropping – I’ve never met so many people that knew Matthew McConaghy’s first cousin or were on an episode of The Real World. The thing they should have been asking me is “Do you care…?” After having all my cool irreplaceable rockstar necklaces stolen out of my workout bag (along with my toothbrush and toothpaste – weird I know) and losing my favorite hat on the road, this trip took more than just my heart and soul. Luckily, I still kept a dash of dignity as we pulled out of town last night.
