Wednesday was a good day.  It was filled with mad car chases, shoot outs and a lot of drug deals....ok only the car chase was true. My driving test coming to this country consisted of driving straight for 15 mins, reversing in a straight line and changing lanes, now it is any wonder. I cannot park, and the majority of people in LA who have had this taxing test have no concept of how to drive...?? My frustration reached a new level as the traffic was particularly cruel yesterday and I had two fabulous artists to see.  8.30 at The Viper Room was Tim Myers and at the El Cid The Prix played Kiss or Kill at 11. 

Tim Myers is a guy I literally stumbled upon while out to review another singer and people listen up-this boy really is something else-watching him on stage is such an amazing experience as not only can he sing, play guitar and play keyboards to such a high standard, he is such a wicked performer-I took a friend who really was so impressed-spread the word-ok, I'm going to stop gushing now.

I hadn't seen The Prix in so long due to continual clashes with other stuff I've been doing, but it was so awesome seeing them again, I'd forgotten how good they actually are.  With their new EP 'St.Domino' released on Wednesday they were playing a lot of songs off it and as they trickled on stage seperately I remembered why I love them so much.

Cashew Von Harding (lead vocals, guitar) and his Beatle esque moves reminded me how these men know the perfect performance.  Von Harding's chatter with Blake Jordan (piano, organ, lead vocals) isn't that false bullshit a lot of bands rehearse and fall flat, the whole band works so well together and the sweaty hugs I got afterwards were obviously kind of gross but showed that their hard work does pay off...go purchase the new EP of the best band in LA. I heart The Prix.

I hate The Viper room more and more I go there, we should all boycott the overpriced drinks and enterance fees....I mean I know it's not going to happen especially when The Prix are playing there on September 3rd, but I like talking shit about the place who's manager was really mean to me once, I'm very mature like that.

Anyway an interview at The Shrine in Pacific Palisades tomorrow with Mr Myers means I need to go and actually do some work...
