Jezebel, 1990 - 2007

Jezebel, the very popular shop cat at Wall of Sound, moved on to her next cat life earlier this week. Jeffery posted a sweet tribute and beautiful photo of her on the Wall of Sound website.

OOIOO

OOIOO from Japan played last Friday at Chop Suey, the place was packed - it was one of only a handful of North American shows - and yeah, it was great... there were two kick ass drummers at the back in the shadows driving some tight rhythmic string playing and an intriguing array of vocals.

In Memory, Charles Gocher, 1952 - 2007

preposterous, and if you don't believe in the reincarnation of the soul,
how do you know that we're not all dead already?"

from Charles Gocher Sr. by Charles Gocher Jr.
Dante's Disneyland Inferno, Sun City Girls.

Many of Charles' friends gathered in remembrance and to celebrate
the life and free soul of Gocher. It was a great party, as he'd want it...
