Mickey Rourke on the Red Carpet at the Venice Film Festival for the premire of Darren Aronofsky’s film, Wrestler.
Mickey Rourke is the star of the new Darren Aronofsky film, Wrestler. The buzz on the film so far is that this may be Rourke’s greatest performance, ever. Anyway, here’s Mickey doing something else he’s really good at, looking a hot-mess in Venice yesterday.
The Plasmatics, Fuck that Booty. From the Joan Rivers Show, 1986.
Bumbershoot is over and Musicfest NW is in full swing. The sun’s come back to Seattle and The Surf Coasters are in town. Which guarantees that the sweet, sweet smell of Yamaha guitars will blow through a stack of fenders tonight in Ballard. Got a date with your couch? Break it. Got a date with a stranger? Cancel it, you know it’s gonna be awful anyway. And honestly, you need to get out after the week you had. I know I do.
Friday, September 5th:
The Surf Coasters kicking it live. A little preview of tonight, in black and white.
Autolite Strike Full Tilt Ice Cream
Free! All Ages. In addition to awesome rock and roll, Full Tilt features 8 pinball machines, vintage arcades, as well as twelve different flavors of ice cream and Popsicles. Who said Summer is over?
Black Sabbath.
Sabbra Cadabra(Black Sabbath Tribute)
Stone Pony (Asbury Park, New Jersey)
If you missed the The Staxx Brothers at Bumbershoot this year because you were at Neko Case, shame on you. Catch TSB at The Jet in Mill Creek on Saturday, September 13th. Contact me at get cherrybombed at g mail dot com if you are serious about going. Which you should be.
Metal Safari, Light Kou from Return to My Blood. Directed by visual effects expert, Katsuya Miyoshi.
Welcome to my new favorite band, Metal Safari. Metal Safari hails from Tokyo. Vocalist Inamoto seems to have a thing for Phil Anslemo. Both of which are fine with me. Except for the part about Tokyo being so far away from Seattle. Anyway, check out the stylish video for Light Kou(above) and turn your speakers up. We’re going on a Metal Safari…
Rock Star riders. By now, you’ve all read Iggy’s rider. And you probably already know that Van Halen’s rider no longer excludes brown M&M’s. The ones below might make you wonder “why?” or, make you wish you had a rider too. Like Peter Gabriel’s…
Even this tattoo of Peter Gabriel looks relaxed.
Peter Gabriel’s rider includes the words “do Peter”. Where does Cherrybomb sign up? Anyway, Gabriel is very specific when it comes to this request in his rider:
A female; Must have a relaxing/deep muscle massage in a hippy style!!! Must be ready to DO Peter at 6:20pm for 1 hour.”
And who could blame Peter for this one. Hippie Chicks Rule.
Trent Reznor tattoo. For Wonder Woman.
Trent Reznor’s rider doesn’t specify much. What Reznor’s rider does specify puzzles me:
Two (2) boxes of cornstarch.
Is Trent making pudding? Oobleck? Damn you Trent Reznor! Why must you be so mysterious?
Perry Farrell and his wife Etty Lau on the cover of Farrell’s Satellite Party from 2007.
Perry Farrell’s rider is pretty straight forward. Farrell’s request doesn’t confuse me like Trent’s above. And quite frankly, I’m a little disappointed:
Two (2) Packages of Zig-Zag rolling papers in the orange package.
What did you expect? Monkey’s, Jack Daniels and a sex-swing? Yeah, me too. Oh well. It’s still more tempting that Trent’s corn starch.
Okay. I’ll see you all tomorrow for Get The Fuck Out and at The Tractor tomorrow night for The Surf Coasters. Until then, try to tear yourself away from the devil box. That shit will kill you…
