Schedule

Sat Aug 23

Lineup: Giant Drag, Dead Panzies, Sewage"Doesn’t she make you sick? We’re jealous of Annie Hardy. Giant Drag’s frontwoman is not just blessed with a honeyed voice, a swoon-worthy stage presence, an ear for great tunes and an understated amount of guitar wizardry – she also boasts an abundant wit that most comedy club owners have wet dreams about. You get the feeling that if anyone even tried to heckle her, they’d get put down faster than a knackered horse on Grand National day." - Hardeep Phull, NME Magazine "They sound great even when they're barely trying..." - Pitchfork "Bobby Vega (Stab City) and Alvin DeGuzman (The Icarus Line) jump on drums and bass to take Annie Hardy's Giant Drag from indie rock duo to hard rock trio. Songs such a "Battle Cry", "Hopeless", "Gateway Drugs" and "Devil Inside" promise to make the forthcoming third studio album from the band (which they are trying to raise funds for at Patreon.com/AnnieHardy) a hard rocking, hook-filled romp through the Post Traumatic Stress Days of Hardy's mystery hiatus which found her missing from Los Angeles for a year. For longtime fans, they'll be happy to hear some of the slightly tweaked, harder rocking favorites such as "My Dick Sux", "You Fuck Like My Dad", "Meowch" and sometimes, if a crowd is lucky (and paying) "Kevin is Gay" and "Wicked Game". Annie Hardy seems to have been through a lot but she hasn't lost her rapier wit, although sometimes the comedy is lost on the awed crowd who are still trying to figure out whats happening onstage and why there aren't more people there watching. Giant Drag released the long-awaited sophomore album Waking Up is Hard to Do last year to rave reviews on Hardy's Full Psycho Records which is part of her ever-expanding empire she has built. Full Psycho: Records, TV, Crafts and Lifestyle is a multi-tiered business committed to bringing people together via collaborations to promote creative expression and unity. The Full Psycho Pop Up Bazaar travels to all shows with Giant Drag and boasts Hardy's handmade "Garbage Heart Necklaces" and Sknobz Knobs, her custom volume knobs for guitar, bass, fx pedals, etc! A visit to a Giant Drag show will only confirm that, although difficult to keep up with, its well worth it pays off. Curses be damned, Giant Drag always prevails." - Mildred Daedy, Scene Not Herd & LA Underground
