    No goin' out this week but I want to say
R.I.P. Sebastian Horsley!! I bought his book "Dandy in the Underworld" a few weeks ago and look forward to going to bed at night to read more of his unauthorized autobiography and well, be with Sebastian!! He was influenced by Marc Bolan, The Sex Pistols and wealth and friends with Nick Cave....witty, debauched and seriously entertaining...and one of the few to actually tell the truth about The Clash: "Nice middle-class boys who, of course, had been to de-elocution lessons."

    And Sebastian would not want anyone to stop partying so we'll go right into what's up.....this : Thursday July 1at the Middle East Up you got The Saints, Acrobrats, 007 Hundred Club and Burning Streets
    Friday July 2nd is Swinedells FINAL gig at The Midway and it's a great bill: DJ Easy Ed is spinning some fine tunes and on stage will be Nick Curran and The Low Lifes along with the Swinedells. Also as a special added treat: if you show up early at like 8PM you can get free 50's dance lessons from the lovely ladies Miss Arinae and Miss Beck

    Also on Friday the 2nd is a excellent show over at O'Brien's in Allston: The Naiheads, The Nose Jobs and Triple Thick....The Nailheads are from Montreal and say this about themselves: "The Nailheads' sound and statement is and always will be strictly for those of you that can't get enough of that tight, stripped down soundin', do-it-yourself, raw energy fueled Punk Rock that marked its territory in 1977." Well that is a lot to promise and live up to! ...I'm looking forward to the show.

    And on Saturday, the 3rd The Illyrians are playing up on the Nawth Showah (that's north shore for you non-Bostonites) at In A Pig's Eye Pub in Salem, They have it listed as the Neats but in actuality it will be Eric Martin, Randall Gibson, Chris MacLachlan, it'll be nice to hear that gorgeous Eric Martin voice! Friday July 9th at The Midway there's a great show with Buried in Leather, Cocked and Loaded, Tiajuana Sweetheart and Tenafly Vipers - Whew!
    Saturday, July 17 at The Middle East up is Bonecrusher, The Welch Boys, Buddha & The Boys and The Beantown Boozehounds Monday, July 19th (Monday??? Why Monday???) GBH, the old punk bastards are playing at Harper's Ferry!! They just released a new CD Perfume and Piss!
    And Monday July 26th there's an interesting show at Charlie's Kitchen for Kermit's Finger, Penis Fly Trap and Classic Ruins.
