Wendy O by Larry West.
So I’m getting ready to blaze up the East Coast with my alcoholic yet, Princess Grace like presence in a few days. So posts will be a bit less frequent for a few weeks. It’s only because I need to focus on going to the beach, drinking and sleeping in. Rock and Roll will also be involved and you should expect a full-take on the scene from the Gogol Bordello show at Club Casino on August 7th. Members of Team Cherrybomb will be contributing while I’m away so don’t worry. We might be drunk, but we got you back.
And just to be clear, just ’cause I’m gone is no excuse to stay at home and make love to your couch. She doesn’t appreciate you baby. Not like I do. Now make Cherrybomb proud and Get The Fuck Out…

Joseph Arthur licks the Daisy for the 2nd week in a row. Why? ‘Cause it’s my blog and Joseph Arthur’s tongue is awesome.
Joseph Arthur
The Triple Door
There is no way you are missing this show. Can you hear me YELLING AT YOU? Cancel whatever you got going on, especially if it’s has anything to do with your couch. Unless that date with your couch includes someone other than your cousin. Okay, I’m lying on that one too. I don’t care how hot your cousin by second-marriage is, kick that ass to the curb. Why? Because Joseph Arthur possesses more talent in his rather large fingers than most bands have collectively. This gig is not to be missed.
Looking Ahead:

Schoolyard Heros, Seattle.
The Capitol Hill Block Party is almost here. My favorite local Summer shin-dig, kicks off on Friday, July 26th and rocks CH through Saturday, July 27th. I only have one word when it comes to CHBP.

Men in Kilt’s. Proper like.
