Buried at Birth is a hardcore, female fronted bunch from San Jose, California. I don’t know much about them, but thought I’d give them a little shout out on here just because they were cool enough to check out the show “Raw Travel” and “got it”… and let’s face it, the name is attention getting […]
HOLLYWOOD: The big Orgy concert at Whiskey A Go Go was scheduled for Monday night. I had to fly out Tuesday morning at some ungodly hour. What to do? Go see my boys (AKA and formerly “The Russian Interns”) open up for them and then go home. Tickets were $20 and I’d only get to […]
Yeah, I’m heading back to Cal-i-forn-i-a and I am thrilled at all the punk, psychobilly and rockabilly getting ready to feast upon. Assuming I’m all recovered from this marathon travel I’ll be hitting more than a couple and you can see video & photos right here. Here is one I’m definitely going to try and […]
I’m in Miami. In South Beach specifically (long story) where the uncool come to pretend to be cool. Where tourist from NYC and middle America and all over the world flock to act like self absorbed a*&holes and pretend they are ballers. Where a cup of coffee cost $4 and even the local dry cleaner […]
I’m in Denver (cool) en route to Chicago (cold) en route to Miami (hot) on the “no sleep” express which is to say Southwest airlines at god awful early flights in foreign time zones that is zapping my energy and yes, my will to live. Thank God for coffee. Assuming I survive this 15-20 city […]
It’s 2013. A new year signifies new beginnings, a blank slate, a new state of mind… and… another year older. Argghh..now I’m depressed. Well this should cheer you up.. there is just a plethora of new, good punk and underground music out right now. THE “OLD” GUYS: PENNYWISE: 2012 saw some kick ass new […]
In June/July I traveled to Budapest, Hungary and was blown away by some of the excellent psychobilly bands there. One of the bands I was most impressed with was Silvershine. Their live performance simply rocked. Missed the write up? See it HERE. I’m heading to France & Spain next in my continuing effort to bring […]
Von Badsville’s Voodoo Lounge promotion cranked up last Saturday night at the Airliner in Los Angeles. Doors opened around 9:30 and things got rocking pretty quickly as the downstairs crowd was treated to a little traditional rockabilly from Mad Dog & the Smokin’ Js and folks strolled around the outdoor patio shopping at the vendor […]
Here is a little video we put together from our recent exploits at the Punk Rock Picnic a few days ago featuring a performance by former Dead Kennedys front man, punk icon and Green Party activist, Jello Biafra as well Fear, Drain Bramaged and dozens of other punk bands. But my favorite part is the […]
If you know rockabilly, you probably know about The Polecats, a damned near legendary British rockabilly band that’s been doing it since, get this, 1977! They were the final act at the recent Viva Las Vegas Car Show Stage last Saturday and it was cool to see some living legends do their thing live […]
Our good buddies from Italy, psychobilly band, Evil Devil are back in Los Angeles to play the Valentine’s Ball on Sunday night at the Mayan Theater.

If you’ve followed us for a while, you may remember waaaayyyy back in 2006 or 07 we were covering a somewhat legendary band called “Calavera” who had been one of the first Latino Psychobilly bands around, usually splitting their time between LA and Mexico City. In case you forgot or very likely never saw it, […]
