It seemed like the weather, combined with it being December held the kiddies from coming out to play. And they'll be sorry they did. So So Glos and Fifty On Their Heels killed it last night.
But don't fret kiddies, you have a chance to see them TONIGHT AT THE CHE with Mermaid and another band that I can't recall at the moment. Bring all your friends, you won't want to miss them.
Back to last night's show. Wow. Sophie started the night was some great tunes on the tables until So So Glos took the stage.
How to describe them... Alex, lead singer and bassist broke his E string! What?!? I don't think I've ever seen that before. I don't think anyone's ever seen that at the Beauty Bar. Nick (Fifty On Their Heels) was kind enough to let them use his bass so the show continued. So So Glos was full of energy and though they had some technical difficulties, they sounded great. They have a sound that is very reminiscent of the Clash and other bands from that time. They love crowd interaction, so if you go to the show tonight, participate! And buy a CD or a sticker or a button. They have some cool merchandise. Support music!
After So So Glos, Fifty On Their Heels took the stage and presented to the crowd some new songs and some old. It was great to see the guys on stage again. It's been a long time since I've caught a show and they still have the same level of energy going and the music keeps getting better and better. Fifty brought on So So Glos during their last song and it was one big party on the stage. fun times.
Edgartronic took over the tables after Fifty played and he was playing some great mixes. I was out on the floor dancing my toosh off for a bit before I had to head on home. It was a Thursday and I had to go to work the next day.
I just wish there would have been more people there last night. It was a great, great show.
Don't miss them tonight!

Friday 07/13/07: What to do???
There is so much going on tonight that I don't even know how to chose.
Luckily, I have friends that have made it somewhat easy.
I'll be hitting up the Beauty Bar to check out Gabe Vega's birthday Bash featuring The Airborne Toxic Event and a DJ set. This is how I will start my evening and then I'm going to head over to the Tower Bar to catch some awesome bands - The Scene, Roses on her Grave, and Scarlet Symphony.
It should be good times all around. I hope to make it to both, you just never know. You start drinking and then how do you drive?
What's everyone else doing?
You can't go wrong with either or both choices. I suggest you check out SD Dialed In for a more comprehensive list of what's going on in San Diego this weekend. Rosie is always on top of it!

Skull Cat Control at Beauty Bar! 07 07 07
Sophie, I hope you had a wonderful time last night! Happy Birthday - again!
Cat Dirt and Skull Control brought it last night. I really enjoyed myself and judging the crowd, everyone was having a blast.
It was non-stop music by the DJs, who in my opinion did a great job of keeping the mix exciting and happy. It made you want to dance and drink. The place was crowded, but comfortable. The bands played loudly and they sounded great. The cupcakes were absolutely delicious.
I had never seen The Vultures and I'm really happy I got to see them. Some of their songs reminded me of this band called "For Squirrels." They only put out one album during their career before they all perished in a bus accident during a tour, but they were great. They were high energy and interacted with the crowd and tried to get the crowd involved. I really liked how they fit the bill. They were similar enough to Fifty but different enough so that you wouldn't get bored knowing that this is what you'd be hearing for the rest of the night. I'd definitely go see them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Fifty on Their Heels came on and the place was excited. Many were there to see them and to dance. I heard a new song tonight that I hadn't heard before. I didn't catch the name, but it was dancy and catchy. I danced my way through their set which was fun and as far as I can tell, the guys felt great about it.
Skull Control finished off the night and had the dance floor packed and it never slowed down. After a major dance session with friends, I had to leave. I had an early call time!
I would deem this a most successful night.

They've been on hiatus for a while now, so it'd be a great time to check them out. And you can't miss The New Motherfuckers. They're from Los Angeles brought to us by CatDirt Records. I've seen them a couple of times and I have never been disappointed. I have their EP downloaded into my iTunes and it gets regular play.
I'll be at the Beauty Bar on Friday.

Fono/Swandive: Beauty Bar 04/13/07
We headed over to the Beauty Bar last night to catch both Fono and Swandive. It's been a long time since I've seen either one and I was excited to check them out, especially since our friend Ivan Hurtado joined Swandive and I kept promising I'd go see their band.
We arrived a bit late, but we got to see the last song and a half of Fono's set. I really enjoyed their sound. If I remember correctly, their sound has changed a little. They had the classic equipment onstage and that definitely made a difference soundwise. It was LOUD! It was so loud, my ear drums were about to burst! hahaha But it was clear. It wasn't muddled like most loud music tends to be. I definitely need to check out their full set next time they play. But being on time is always hard for me. hahaha
Check them out kids.. You'll love them.
::Intermission::
So after a few drinks Swandive came on stage.. Their sound, though reminiscent of their old stuff, has a little different tweak to it. It's a little more upbeat than when I last saw them, which I loved. The musicianship on stage was great. They were all having fun and swaying around to their music - just like the crowd. I found it interesting that they incorporated a little snippet of Don't Stand So Close To Me by the Police into one of their songs. It's one of my favorite songs, so it was a nice surprise. They played a song titled Push, Pull, Choke, which I think was dedicated to their Bass player, Ivan Hurtado, but he said something about Shake and Bake, whatever that means. It was funny. It made Ivan laugh. I can definitely hear Swandive on the Big Sonic Chill. Is that still around? I need to listen to the radio a little more. hehehe
There was a $5 dollar cover and they made a killing. It was a nicely packed house. It wasn't too much so it turned you off, but it was comfortable. And the scene was reminded me of when Beauty Bar first opened. It was refreshing.

The Mooney Suzuki
The Beauty Bar in San Diego hosted The Mooney Suzuki on Wednesday, March 7th. And if you weren't there, you missed out!
The cover was $8, but well worth it. A band of this caliber usually charges more than that and you can't see them at the smaller venues. They have been around for a long while and they have a great following.
I've seem them 5 times, basically every time they roll through San Diego and they have never disappointed me. They bring their best game every time. Their set is high-impact, dancey, noisy, and FUN. I have pictures. I just need to upload them. I'll eventually get around to it - I promise!
They brought with them a band from Sweden. I can't recall the name, but I have an email out to The Mooney Suzuki to find out. This band was great. They were dancey and fun. The band consisted of 3 boys, who I think were 15-16 years old. They looked that young and they were beyond adorable. They danced non-stop and they had some great beats. It was very refreshing to see a band like this in San Diego. It's nice to know that somewhere out there, there is great music being created.
Go to www.themooneysuzuki.com for more tour information.
Keep them coming Beauty Bar!
