Saturday’s double-bill at the Troubadour yielded a couple of fun facts. First, we learned that the night’s opener, BTW Crocodiles, were being filmed for a profile on an upcoming episode of your favorite late night TV program, Last Call With Carson Daly. (Apparently the cameramen didn’t care much for the fans they had to push past; it was probably mutual.) Also we learned that along with finding the sonic potential in just about any object and endorsing Chrysler automobiles, Holy Fuck love their Indian food. (They sat next to photographer Andrew Youssef at Taste Of India before the show.) Lots Of Love. In addition to that tandoori revelation, the band played new material. We’ll dig that up if we can, for now enjoy yourself with Andrew’s pics of the night.

A double bill for double the fun. Too bad I missed it, thanks for the photos!

You mean there were “fans” at this “gig”? Is the writer sure that these weren’t just the friends and family of the band? Sounds like it to me, as I have a hard time believing that any self-respecting music/rock fan wouldn’t be caught dead within 1000 yards of this excrement.
“Fun Facts”?!? What? Are we now talking about the The Jonus Bros. (excuse me. I just choaked back down the bile that rises whenever I mention or even see that name) or something?
Here are some TRULY fun facts:
I remember a day back when I lived in SoCal and hung out on the Strip on almost a nightly basis – the Troub being one of them – soaking up all the kick ass music playing in the myriad clubs, that if a band showed with no guitars and instead two keyboards, they would have found themselves in an alley getting their pussiferous asses kicked and they equipment smashed, stolen or both and rightly so.
Sadly, those days are long gone. Whatever happend to the true fans who owned the music to the point that any outsiders or pre-fabed bands such as this one pictured above were delt with in the harshest of terms and therefore keeping mopey dopes like these f**kwits in their mommy’s basements where they belonged?
Well, at least I have my memories and hopefully, as has always been the case and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a new and exciting form of RnR/Metal will come along and these wimpy “indie” bands (now a genre instead of a descriptor – how f**king pathetically sad…) will be a thing of the past and a bad memory akin to that raging hangover you had a month ago; still in the back of your mind due to the pain and agony felt at the time, but foggy and getting foggier.
Screw the so-called “indie” bands. If it were up to me, I’d deport them all over to Europe where they would fit in perfectly, what with all the gloomy weather, an uber-crappy economy (and yet imbecilic children still have the gall to crack on America) and gross illiteracy.
And if they tried to sneak back into America, they’d be rounded up and put in some dark hole on Rykers Island. So-called “indie” bands are the Anthrax and Botulitum spores to the REAL music world and they need to be quarranteened and/or destroyed so as never to infect us ever again.
And the RIAA STILL can’t figure out why they’re going bankrupt…
Wow.
Have you even listened to either of these bands?
Interesting read “thirteenburn”. Seems to me that you are showing your true age with the has-been name droppings, and your very narrow-minded intellect as well. Maybe it was a good move that you left SoCal as Im quite sure you feel very alienated outside of the thriving indie scene. Enjoy that can of Bud while driving ur Camero in CousinlovingKentucky reliving those glory days!!
