BAND THAT STARTED IT ALL SHOWS MATURITY
Temecula, CA – Some people know the back story of my start as the local ‘scene’ historian. Though there were several streams leading up to it, they all joined at a river called Finch, commencing at The Stampede ‘Day After Chill’ show on November 24th, 2002, which headlined the band. On that day I saw the raw power of the future in youth alternative rock. Saturday night I revisited my roots.

CHARITY OF YOUTH TOPS FIRST ACT
Temecula, CA – As I write this looking outside the office window, it is a cold, damp, overcast day with a chance of rain. The whole valley looks washed out in color. I point out the weather today because most of my readers probably picture me having all this fun I write about in stereotypically sunny So Cali style. Most of the time it is like that, but not always. Sometimes things are different from what you think. Recently the ‘you’re only in it for the money’ card was played to talent director, Ivan, of the Vault.

THE FIRST OF TWO REPORTS ON THE REAL ‘UNDER’ PART
Temecula, CA – Most of my music reports about new music or tales of the ‘underground’ come from locations that are known, commercially underground spots, you might say. However, there is an underground to the underground. This is the first ‘gonzo’ report on one purposely hidden side of the scene, the punk side. This ‘secret location’ has been known to me for a while but when you’re a social   butterfly on a bicycle, you can’t always be ‘Johnny on the spot’. But as the ‘historian’ of the music scene, you get around to checking out things that might make a little piece of local history and add another strand to the music quilt of the valley. This is especially true when you find out a friend of yours is planning to ‘Bedrock’ it there with his new band. So me and ‘the crew of you know who’ paid a visit to where the dust rattled under the radar. The accommodations were bare-bone but the hospitality was all Ritz-Carlton. Here in pictures is the real underground punk/pit scene in the valley. |

THE ELECTRIC SCENE HERE IS A CLOSED CIRCUIT
Temecula, CA – This story is dedicated to Candice who recently moved back to being a Georgia peach. She once introduced me to some young friends as, “This is Mr. Pete, he makes all us ‘scene kids’ look cool to the outside (Temecula Valley) world.” That is not as hard as it would seem because of the ‘Naked City’ syndrome in the scene. You see, Sports Fans, back in the day there was a TV show called the Naked City that ended each show with the tagline, “There are 8 Million stories in the ‘naked city’ (NYC), you have just seen one of them.” Well, there aren’t 8 million stories in this fully clothed area, but the people I know in the scene around here have interesting stories themselves worthy of any TV show, and these stories are real. Here’s one of them for your perusal.

AMANDUH JEAN, HANGER 69, & EYES SET TO KILL U.S. TOUR
Temecula, CA – Once again the weekend is here and this weekend is a little different. You have our teen promoter, Amanduh Jean, set to bring musical groups, Adestria, Arms Like Yours, Parley, Our Winter’s Holocaust, Unruin, and Stop The Phoeniz to the Vault tonight! Saturday night, the French Valley Café will again host an Eddie Hooper (Club Destiny without the Rhen factor) event called ‘Hanger 69'. I guess the question that comes to mind here is, will woman flying upside down have big crack up? This event will feature a DJ and Go-Go girls for your clubbing pleasure. Being a 21+ happening, there will be drink specials going on all night, but either drive responsibly or have a designated driver handy. The cops are hungry. |
