In what can only be described as one of the best nights of my life the Reigning Monarchs, resplendent in Lagerfeld inspired ties and armbands, rocked through 8 skanky surf noir gems with only a handful of glaring mistakes by yours truly. The old timey ski lodge feel of the Taix Lounge and the crowd of east Los Angeles hipsters, our friends, family and one super meth'd out chick made the night a roaring success that reminded me of my early days as a comic coming up in the alternative comedy scene. The Tulsa Skull Swingers, who headlined the show, are not to be missed. Fronted by a 6'7' skeleton they are the Cramps meets burlesque meets something totally original with no reference point. I hope you will come see us and them when we play there next .It was so fucking awesome. And to those of you that came I am, as always, touched in my happy places!
