I’ve Got Shows In Different Area Codes…

Does anyone want to go with me to see Jello Biafra and The Melvins at The Henry Fonda Theatre on the 16th or Henry Rollins at The Coach House on the 23rd?

On their last tour, Jello and The Melvins peppered Dead Kennedys covers in with their original tunes. Hopefully this time around will be no different. Rollins, on the other hand is going to be doing spoken word – which is always a good thing.

Either way, two of my heroes performing on consecutive Wednesdays is just too tasty to pass up. So who’s in?

King Kukulele

Wow, that’s a blast from the past…

Screenhead just pointed to a commercial for satellite radio featuring the locally infamous King Kukulele. The King was a staple at The Hub in Fullerton before they closed it down for renovations a little more than a year ago.

I remember spending countless nights watching him demolish the crowds with a well placed cover of “Folsom Prison Blues” or something as equally out of place. The looks on the faces of the unsuspecting people he’d throw his uke at before he’d snatch it back on its bungee cord. How uppity he’d get at the people on the back fringes of the audience who would dare to chat during his performance.

Come to think of it, he was sort of a jerk. I’m pretty sure that was just a schtick, tho. At least I hope it was.

I’ve lost track of him since The Hub closed down, but I’d love to know where he’s performing now. Anyone have any clues?
