Wendy O and Cherrybomb’s favorite car of all time. The Mustang Mach 1

Oh man. Two of my favorite things. Wendy O, a Vintage Mustang Mach 1 and the weekend. Wait a minute…uh never mind, that’s right. Cherrybomb might can’t count, but I can order a vodka rocks in like five different languages.

Useless Cherrybomb talent number 64…

Wednesday, May 7th:

No Visa mean no UFO with Pete Way, dang it.
UFO
El Corazon
Mike McCready’s UFO trib, Flight to Mars just rocked the Box last weekend, and now the real deal is invading Seattle. Even though Pete Way won’t make it to Seattle, Cherrybomb’s ticket to this show is still too hot to handle. Rob De Luca of Spread Eagle will be filling in for Pete, which is cool because the name Rob De Luca reminded Cherrybomb that Spread Eagle was pretty fucking great. Take that Nickelback…

Thursday, May 8th:

Lesli Wood of Ms. Led and her sweet Les Paul…

Ms. Led
The Sunset
Ms. Led. Yes, please.

Friday, May 9th:

Common Market. The Black Patch War EP drops on Thursday, May 8th.

Common Market (EP release)
D. Black
Vera Project
Simply stated, one of the best Hip-Hop acts Seattle has to offer. Cherrybomb highly recommends this show. Download Connect For right now and let it live on your iPod, just like it does on Cherrybomb’s.

The Staxx Brothers have the most awesome show fliers…
The Staxx Brothers
Nectar
I love TSB. Maybe the fact that I’ve been listening to the Chi-Lites, The Impressions and The Roots a lot lately might be reinforcing that feeling, but what the hell. The fact that I have yet to see Staxx live is your chance to one-up Cherrybomb. It’s a safe be that Staxx will slay you. Busy screwing some nameless forget-me-not on Friday? Look for The Staxx Brothers later this year when they play Bumbershoot.

Saturday, May 10th:

Cherry Comics #15 by Larry Welz

Cherrybomb has always loved comics. Did you know Cherry’s (formerly Cherry Pop Tart above) favorite rock star is Steven Tyler? Makes sense, right? While Tyler should be everyone’s favorite rock idol, Cherrybomb is unashamed of her Tyler adoration. Anyways, let’s get back to the point.The Emerald City Comicon is back in Seattle again on Saturday, May 10th, and Sunday, May 11th. Suicide Girls will also be there this year. Suicide Girls have names like Binx and Vice . Some of the Suicide Girls say they are artists or writers by trade. Others confess to being professional full time cunts. Just like Cherrybomb.

Honesty is always the best policy…

The Ruby Doe play a third round of Rock and Roll Dumpster Diving…

The Ruby Doe
Comet Tavern
Ruby Doe at The Vomit, I mean The Comet. Wait a minute, uh, I was right the first time. Cherrybomb is totally there. Vomit and all…

Thee Emergency (CD Release)
Wild Orchid Children
The Whore Moans
The Funhouse
Holy Hellgate. This bill is completely out of fucking control. The self-described Gonzo Soul Music of Wild Orchid Children is pretty much that. Gonzo. For some reason, they remind me of the plugged-in version of the Beastie Boys, which is a good thing. Look for WOC at Noise for the Needy in June, and The Blue Moon in July.

Sunday, March 11th:

The Freakouts have nice gear…

The Freakouts
The Funhouse
The Freakouts are Cherrybomb’s new favorite band. This statement alone is more than you need to get your hungover ass to The Funhouse early (4:00!) on Sunday. I mean, what were you gonna do, visit your mother? Call FTD and tell Mommy you fell down the stairs. Besides, The Funhouse’s Bloody mix makes a sweet, sweet hangover recovery called Red Beer. Cherrybomb will never steer you wrong when it comes to party liquids. I’d rather drink from the dirty, plastic shrine of Pepe Lopez than do that. Whatever you do, if Pepe asks you to come on in and introduce yourself, just say something like “Dios Mio, La Migra,” really loud. Pepe ain’t worth kissing for the porcelain god, despite the vessels’ cool, white inviting appearance. Remember, your ASS goes there. Not your mouth. Just say no to the bottom shelf.

Looking Ahead:

Peter Murphy. Yoga for Goths…

Peter Murphy will be at the Box on Friday, May 30th. It’s common knowledge that great voices only get better with age, and Murphy’s stand-alone vocals are no exception to this rule. Cherrybomb fully expects at least a 10 minute version of Dark Entries and a 30 minute version of Bella Legosi’s Dead. Murphy will also perform highlights from his dense solo career. Some of the highlights of Murphy’s goth idol, solo sojourn can be found on the 2000 comp, Wild Birds .

Mike Ness makes Cherrybomb feel all tingly…

I’m pretty sure Mike Ness is trying to give Cherrybomb a heart attack. If my calculations are correct, Ness just celebrated his 46th birthday last month. How can one man look and sound so good? It just ain’t right. Anyways, Mike Ness, his excellent hair, and his BAND will be at The Showbox on Wednesday, July 9th (all ages) and Thursday, July 10th (21+). Ness and his Band will also visit New York, Chicago and The Crystal Ballroom in Oregon during June and July.

Nick Cave. Life on the road looks like fun…

Lastly, if you haven’t heard already, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will be in Seattle at the Box on Tuesday, September 23rd. Rumor has it that a second show will also be added for Wednesday, September 24th. I don’t mind saying that I am the proud owner of one rather expensive - but worth every penny - ticket to the September 23rd show. Cave’s new record, Dig, Lazarus, DIG!!! is being called one of the best of a young 2008. And Cherrybomb agrees.

Now Get The Fuck Out already…

Thanks to the RDK and LP for making GTFO happen this week…
