TOUR DIARY - DAY 3 - SEATTLE

(S. Bing on Radiohead Jumbotron)

SEATTLE
August 21, 2008

Day 3-


Kurt once said, "I'm not like them, I can't pretend," which is kind of how I feel about trying to keep up with LIONS and their freakish weight gain. Please see the photo below of my modest dinner including fresh beet/carrot/ginger/celery juice. Oh, and I met a guy from Radiohead named Colin.



Colin is not TOM YORK.

RADIOHEAD TOUR DIARY - ENTRY #2

VANCOUVER
August 20, 2008

Day 2 -

Got my official red aluminum Radiohead water bottle. Only band members get red bottles. Everyone else gets the blue ones. Ate two pieces of chocolate cheesecake in the catering tent. Subconsciously I think I'm trying to fatten up because, once again, the other LIONS have appeared to put on weight virtually overnight.

Still no sign of TOM YORK.

RADIOHEAD TOUR DIARY - Entry #1

LAESIRC has moved beyond the EAST SIDE of LA (I know, can you believe it?) for a week to bring you exclusive WEST COAST TOUR info!

LA East Side Indie Rock band FULL CHIN's own Sam Bing is playing the baritone saxophone for none other than the infamous Radio Head opening act, LIONS.

Day 1 -

Ate Louisianna Hot Links sandwich at Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom at LAX airport. Followed that with Lemon Poppy Muffin from Starbucks. Even though it's only been 36 hours since I last saw LIONS, they all seem to have put on weight.


No sign of TOM YORK yet.

LAESIRC Editorial: "East Side" Indie Bands -- Are They ALL Awesome???

While enjoying a $3 Dewars at the final night of the Le Swish residency at the Ecco on Monday, I looked around the room and saw so many members of my favorite local INDIE bands: The Harry Clam People, Flying Turdillion Archestra, Addie Liar and the Philly Cheese Steaks, Full Chin, Subtraction Day, as well as the weird guy who used to run the record store down the street. I had to pause and ask myself this question: East Side L.A. INDIE bands -- are they ALL awesome??? It's a good question!

I thought about it a lot on the drive home while bumping the advance copy of the new Sweat Hurt album that Windy gave us so we can review it (release show at Pearshape on 6/7!!!). So many bands -- can they all be the best??? Are they all AWESOME???

Yes.

That's all for now -- more reviews coming soon. Keep it INDIE, you guys!
