Street Eaters and Welt Star at The Smell in Los Angeles

This was a fun show, put on by the inimitable George Chen, even though we missed half of it (we were driving down from Santa Barbara, okay?) I got to meet up with some old friends from college who put us up and we got to go to Spoke for breakfast the next day and Donut Friends later!

Visions, Rival Cults, Sutratma, and Phobophlyptix at Casa De La Raza in Santa Barbara

 

This show happened on the 23rd of March in 2025. Sutratma has a new album, Adrift, available on their bandcamp page. Visions' second album, Decay, is available from Ebullition records in Goleta and Rival Cults' sophomore release, Our Gods Need Blood, is also available on their bandcamp page.

Radiation Invasion, Zampkamp, Pancho and the Wizards, and The Only Ocean at Stages in Lompoc on January 17th, 2025

 

So these shows are getting a little bit out of order. Apparently, this show happened BEFORE Fishbone at SoHo in SB (1/24/25), BEFORE Leo Kottke at the Lobero (2/7/25), and BEFORE Orchid at the Belasco in LA (2/15/25) all of which were published in Feedback #17. However this comic will be published in Feedback #18 because FB 17 is already done. Let me know if you want a copy!

Death Valley Girls and Bikini Kill at the Wiltern

 

A while back, Jenny and I saw Bikini Kill at the Wiltern. I left out a bunch of stuff about waiting outside in line and talking to people.

Rival Cults, Dirt Fight, Defeat the Purpose at Johnny's Bar and Grill in Lompoc

 

This is from over a year ago, when Rival Cults put their first album out, "Indoctrination." They now have a new album out, "Our Gods New Blood." Check 'em out!
