Simon Stokes covered Play With Fire last night
Feb 19^th, 2009 at 10:45am

Redwood Bar is a pirate bar in downtown LA that has been booking some awesome shows lately. Probably my favorite venue right now. Last night Simon Stokes played on a triple bill with Pat Todd & The Rank Outsiders and Sioux City Pete & The Beggars. The Sioux City Pete CD also has a cover of Cocksucker Blues but I haven't listened to it yet.

Simon Stokes is a staple of the downtown/Echo Park club scene lately. He's in his 70's and sings some really crazy stuff. He put out some albums in the 1970's until disappearing until recently.

He broke in my new toy (Edirol R-09HR) last night.

I almost made a post a few weeks ago about the first Stones cover of the year, some other band doing No Expectations but it took me a few weeks to get to it (seeing many more Stones covers in the meantime) and it was weak.

Hi "LJ with STD"

this post raises some questions... The first being, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HANGING OUT IN A "PIRATE BAR" LISTENING TO 70 YEAR OLDS BUTCHER STONES SONGS????

(sorry bout the all caps, PERKS hi-jacked my keyboard there for a second)

Seriously. Did they turn you away at The Mermaid Bar or something?

I haven't seen Pat Todd in a year and I haven't seen Sioux City Pete since the infamous Chickenhawks/Throw Rag/REO Speedealer show at Bar Deluxe in 1998. Simon Stokes just happened to be on the bill but he is easy enough to catch by accident.

I think I know which place you are talking about. The Mermaid Bar has no street parking within a mile, charges $4 for water or $5 for Red Bull and security on the lookout for anyone enjoying themselves, so it's not a fun place to go even though I get guest slots for anything I want to by request. So I usually just avoid it. I am sure NYC has similiar unpleasant places.

The Redwood has sweet potato fries, free water, a good DJ and I can also fiddle my knobs in the open without a tap on the shoulder.

the staff at The Brazen Head Pub told Joey that if they catch him fiddling his knobs again in their establishment they're going to report him to Dateline again

The women there look scarier than the men. But it looks like they are mainly catering to the loft dwelling hipster crowd, this place is too far inland for any real pirates.

Oh shit. Just nose-sprayed water all over my Dell, dude!
Good to have you back, Sway.
