Which may be why I'm so taken with "Outside Place," the brand new promo film masterpiece by veteran West Coast power pop/punk band LA DRUGZ -- by comparison, Los Angeles looks like a little bit of heaven.
I must confess I was unfamiliar with these guys until a day or two ago, but I am informed that the song itself, which as you can hear totally rocks, is ten years old. Hey, I slept through the 'teens.
In any event, as you can also plainly see, the new vid is a sly homage to the greatest film of all time, the Mike Nesmith(!)-produced cult classic Repo Man.
And as I hinted up top, I'm a total sucker for all cinematic evocations of the L.A. River -- giant ants or no.
In the meantime, you can find out more about those guys (who come off above as both natural born comedians and a kick-ass band) and order the cool original (2013) EP from whence the song derives over at the website of Hovercraft Records HERE.
And I should add that a fab gear Weekend Essay Question will be up tomorrow, and it's a little smutty.
So stay cool, everybody!!!

Looks like the September schedule is more promising - Kings of Leon, Bob Marleys kids.

Homage? Yes. Sly? Nope. Repo Man. Thumbs Up.
I'd rather listen to the Exploding Hearts.
