GTFO: Hate, Hellgate and Whores…
Wendy O does her best Godzilla impression
Man…it’s been a hard couple of days here at Cherrybombed.com. The server’s been down, I lost some content, and I’m out of Vodka. Let’s start the weekend already. Fuck it…

Cancer Rising
Grayskul
Rendezvoux
Cancer Rising are playing Sasquatch this year. It’s only March, and 2008 is truckin’ right along for Gatsby and the boys of Cancer Rising. Just likes it should…

Hate issue #23 - Peter Bagge - Fantagraphics
Comic Forum - Frye Art Museum - Fry Auditorium
Peter Bagge was the managing editor for R. Crumb’s classic comic, Weirdo before launching his own comic, Neat Stuff. And as excellent as all that stuff is, Bagge is also the creator of Hate comics (above) which, unless you lived in a cave on the mountains during the 90’s you are very much aware of. Ellen Forney and Jim Woodring are also part of the forum. Woodring is married to Dianna Young-Blanchard of the awesome DT’s and occasionally does posters for the band. Those things are definitely worth collecting.
Neil Doherty - Space Needle Eclipse
In other eye candy news, local photographer and artist, Neil Doherty, is showing some of his gorgeous B&W’s at Marcus’s Martini Heaven in Pioneer Square. The photos were taken between 2003 and 2008 in Belgrade, Amsterdam, Serbia, Bosnia, the US and Canada. Doherty really gets around. But I think Doherty sums what he does best with this statement from his show bio:
With my photography, I enjoy viewing life from the uncommon.
Get out and support the local-local.
H is for Hellgate
The Sunset
Look for a new record from H is for Hellgate soon.

Looking Ahead:
Lou Reed circa 1970-awesome
Lou Reed’s Spring Tour kicks off on April 20th in Northhampton, Massachusetts. Reed follows up his stop in Mass with a bunch of dates in NY, Knoxsville and Nashville. Then it’s off to UK for the summer. Lou turned 66 this month but he doesn’t let a little thing like Social Security slow him down. Take that David Bowie.
Robert Plant and his peace dove. And his excellent pants…
Robert Plant and Allison Krauss will play a couple of dates together in Louisville and Knoxville starting on April 19th before they travel up North to play the B of A Pavilion in Boston. Krauss performs some Zep covers during the live sets. And that’s no small deal. Covering Zep is either going to go incredible well or horribly wrong. And sometimes you might get lucky and make that song your own like Johnny did with Hurt. And like Krauss’ does when she covers Zep’s “When the Levee Breaks“. Plant’s prowess on stage remains unmatched and he has never stopped releasing music (good music) over the 20+ years following the breakup of Led Zeppelin. The Plant/Krauss tour runs through June. The tour’s isn’t hitting your city (it misses Seattle too, don’t feel bad)? Check your cable listings for a live performance from the pair running on MHD, the new HD music channel that actually plays uh, music.
Happy Chichester and his Happy Hat…
Happy Chichester and RJD2 will be at Chop Suey on Saturday April 12th. Happy Chichester’s tune Shadows Remember the Day has the same feel as Radiohead’s, In Rainbows. Dreamy and melodic. No wonder Chichester has written songs that were recorded by The Afghan Whigs and Shawn Smith.
Puppetry of the Penis. April 29 - May 4th Act Theatre
Cherrybomb took in POTP a couple years back and based on her experience, gives you this advice. If you like to laugh to the point of crying, go see Puppetry of the Penis. If you like watching something while you clasp your hands across your face in some half-assed attempt to NOT see something, go see Puppetry of the Penis (by the way, you’re not fooling anyone with the hands on eyes thing). Finally, if you like seeing Penis’s being bent and twisted so they look like hairy-dick-pretzels, go see Puppetry of the Penis. Penis.
Galactic really does play that funky music…
Finally, Galactic is back in Seattle at The Tractor Tavern on Saturday May 17th. Last time Galactic funked their way through Seattle it was with Chali 2Na of Jurassic Five. This time around Galactic will funk it up with Stanton Moore and the Jazzy hands of Will Bernard and Wil Blades.
Now Get The Fuck Out already…
