3 Shows not to miss!

Feeling like you need to get out more? Maybe you get out plenty but haven't seen a decent gig in a while? Well here are 3 shows you shouldn't miss this weekend. Do your ears a favor, grab some cash (trust me it'll still be cheaper than blowing a hundred at some Hollywood club/bar trying to hit on that chick at the bar who 1. Still won't know you exist 2. Probably doesn't even know SHE exists due to pure stupidity. 3. Probably really isn't real. She's either a hologram or is so pumped with Botox, she now winks with her lips. 

I digress.

Go ahead. Try these, if you don't like them, something is wrong with your hearing or your sense of good music is broken. Either way, you lose out.

So here it is:

JetStream 
Friday December 10th 
7:30pm
@ the Cat Club on Sunset Blvd

This is a group of kids (ya, kids. 16 yos) that absolutely blew my mind a year ago when I saw them rock the Sagebrush Cantina for a charity event. If you're into Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix and every other kind of rock awesomeness, this cup of tea is for you. Their stage presence and their raw talent will leave your jaw on the floor. Sill untainted by the music industry, I'd catch them now before someone tries to push them into some direction they don't want to go in. They are on early and usually have a short but jam packed set, so come support them and then roam the streets of Hollywood.

Camp Freddy
Friday December 10th
10:30ish pm
@ The Roxy Theatre on Sunset Blvd

Maybe instead of wandering the streets of Hollywood after the JetStream show, you should walk (carefully) to the Roxy for some...um...well, you'll see.
If you haven't seen or heard of Camp Freddy then all I need to say is two words: shirtless Dave Navarro (ok that's three words..but technically Dave is a who not a what...) anyway, you get the idea. 
I should probably also mention that it's a conglomeration of seeded musicians playing "jam session" and rocking out to what ever classic hit they feel like playing. Going to see these guys is like opening surprise Christmas presents from your rich uncle and aunt in Europe, you may not know what the hell is in each box but you're sure as hell gonna love it! Ladies, bring an extra pair of thongs if you're planning to stand anywhere near the stage..those ones you're wearing will be ruined one way or another by watching all kinds of sexiness playing musical instruments. Leave your dudes at home :)

Gina Katon and the Eastern Block
Saturday December 11th
11:00pm
@ The Eleven Club in West Hollywood

I actually got really excited when I heard she's doing a show again! After seeing her two weeks ago, I was crossing my fingers that it wouldn't take long to see this tiny package of hotness on stage again. Ever since I heard their set up, I've been singing "wiggle it" on a daily basis, trying not to break a hip by attempting the wiggle moves along with the singing. I've been known to hurt myself whilst giving sexiness a whirl. 
They are brand spanking (mm spanking) new and leave people absolutely mesmerized after each song. If you're somehow broken in the sexual department and are immune to tight little packages of hotness, then at least your ears will get aroused. Raw sounds of brilliant drums of Marc Jordan (I'll keep his sexiness to a quiet hush, because I don't want to get beat up by Gina ;)), the grittiness of guitar magic of Todd Weinstock (or as I like to call him "babyface") is the most refreshing combination in music I've heard in quite some time! Todd's playing style can only be compared to the likes of Jimmy Page...a la "Whole Lotta Love". Together, they blend into a hot mess of amazigness. Their short sets will leave you begging for "JUST ONE MORE, please!!!" 

So there they are. I'll be there. Will you?

  1. Hey Linda, Thanks again for your post on facebook about the show at the Cat Club. If you were there I was wondering your thoughts on the show. I know it was pretty loud in there. Thanks......JetStream
