Week of 10/27/08 to 11/2/08: Anomalous LA Happenings:


October 31st @ The El Rey Theatre /// Roky Erickson
Roky Erickson brings his trademark brand of idiosyncratic, horror obsessed guitar pop to the El Rey Theatre on Halloween night. Erickson's still got serious pipes after all these years. Black Angels open and, if their recent studio collaboration is any indication, may act as Roky's backing band. We shall see...


November 1st @ the Smell /// Sam McPheeters spoken word
If Sam McPheeters spoken word is anything like his previous musical endeavors with Born Against, Men's Recovery Project, and the Wrangler Brutes, Saturday's Smell attendees are in for a real treat. At once surreal, whismical, misanthropic, and absurd, the last McPheeters performance I witnessed saw him belligerently spout off some famous lines from Shakespeare's Henry IV part 1 and storm off into a frigid, northeastern winter night shirtless.
