A great thing is happening in North Orange County. A punk rock scene is emerging in a fifty year old bowling alley. Guttermouth will be headlining a show on Saturday. You know Guttermouth and lead singer Mark Adkins for their OC punk sound that surfaced in the eighties. On occassion Guttermouth may offend those with sensitive ears but their talent will not disappoint.
Gutterball Fest is happening this Saturday at the La Habra 300 Bowl. Also on the bill, The Theadora Kelly Project which is amazing along with Doggy Style, Radioactive Chicken Heads, Broken Patron Saints, and Dirty Hammer.

Devendra Banhart celebrated Mother’s Day at Pappy and Harriet’s under the stars last night. With his mother present in the audience Devendra Banhart began with a solo set before bringing his band on stage. Banhart introduced his fans to his new record Mala on the Nonesuch Records label that is presently number ten on the College Radio charts. But his devotees drank up his love during “Carmensita” by singing along to this fan favorite. But you must see Devendra Banhart live. Click on the link for additional West Coast dates:
