GTFO: Motorhead, Maldives and Manlove…
So it’s already that time again. You know, GTFO time. Anyways, Cherrybomb will be DJing a private party overlooking the Space Needle on Friday. I’d invite you, but that wouldn’t make it private party anymore, would it? But don’t despair. There is so much going on this week and this weekend, you won’t miss me. But if you don’t get out, you’ll miss a lot of great shows.
So what are you gonna do? Get The Fuck Out of course…

Motorhead (!)
Stubb’s BBQ (Austin, TX)
Is Motorhead making an appearance at SXSW this week? If you believe the official Motorhead website, the answer is yes. However, Stubb’s website makes no mention of Motorhead on their music calendar. What Stubb’s calendar does say is that the 3/13 bill includes artists like Serge Tankian, Tom Morello and Ben Harper performing songs from the upcoming movie, Body of War. The soundtrack is due out on March 18th. Public Enemy and Eddie Vedder (who performs with Ben Harper on the track “No More”) also contributed to the soundtrack. The film itself will is screening at Sundance on March 13th at 4:00 pm at The Paramount Theater in Austin.

Cherrybomb was at the Rendevoux Room on Saturday night chatting with a bartender about her love for SNB’s Neil of Steel. We then put on the new SNB record really loud, Cherrybomb drank a bunch of Gin then confessed to her lovely bar-mistress that she looked exactly like Kate Hudson, only with boobs. Gin is the best. But it might also be truth serum, so be careful who you drink it with. Anyways, the SNB connection to Seattle Soundbite is that Miss Simona, the hardcore drummer girl for SNB, works at Via Tribunali. To qualify for Soundbite, you must be in a band and also work in a restaurant.
Looking Ahead:
On March 28th, Supernauty, the Seattle Black Sabbath cover band will be at The Blue Moon. Check this vid of Supernauty turning out “Sweet Leaf“. And since I was speaking of SNB earlier in this post, Seattle’s own Miss Simona also plays in an all-girl Black Sabbath tribute band, Mistress of Reality. MOR will play a couple of dates in Cali before jetting off to Spain for the rest of March.
Shadow - L to R: Mike McCready, Rick Friel and Chris Friel
Flight to Mars Annual CCFA Benefit is back at The Box on May 5th. Feral Children are also on the bill. Best of all, McCready will perform a Hendrix trib that will include local rock ‘n’ brothers, Rick and Chris Friel. Both were in the Seattle hair band, Shadow (see big hair pix above). Rick and Chris also played with McCready in the excellent, The Rockfords with Carrie Akre. I love Rick Friel. He has always had the best hair. And every time I’ve seen him play, he gave it everything he had. Which is a lot. Take notes kids. You might learn something.
Speaking of hair, W.A.S.P is in Australia in April following up their recent US tour dates. Yeah, W.A.S.P is still a band. And codpieces with teeth is the new cowbell. Take that B.O.C.
Dizzee Rascal and EL-P will be at Neumo’s on May 19th. It’s still kind of amazing to me that people seem to be finally catching onto EL-P. His 2007 record, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, caught lots of people by surprise. Hopefully, you were one of them. If you’re still saying who?, check out EL-P’s “Up All Night“. The combo of Dizzie and EL-P is unstoppable Hip-Hop. With a British accent. Both Dizzie and EL-P play SXSW at The Scoot Inn on 3/13 with Del the Funky Homosapien.
And finally, The Queers will be at El Corazon on June 1st . Tickets are on sale now.
Man…it’s 12:30 on a Tuesday night. Do you know where your Cherrybomb is? All I can say is if you don’t get out, you’ll never find out. So, GTFO already…
