[kj] More KJ LA Ticket News (sorta)

That is odd. But then again I know they will sell out the night they play.  
Last time when they played at The El Rey in 2003 it was pretty packed to the  
gills.

Saw  Kings X and early 90's pop metal band Extreme last night at the 
Hollywood  House of Blues where Killing Joke is playing in October.  It was 
one  of those spurious "why not" kinda shows that I impulsively picked up a  
ticket for just last week, mostly out of boredom wanting to see a live  band 
that I figured wouldn't disappoint.  I can't wait for  Motorhead's club show 
and Nine Inch Nails early in September.

I  know of Extreme more via Gary Cherone's (mostly terrible) short tenure in  
Van Halen and Nuno's short stretch with Perry than Extreme  themselves.  I 
did pick up their new album a couple weeks ago on  advice from a couple other 
people and I think it's one of the best  retro-hard rock releases this year.

But wow.  Last night turned  out to be a much better show than I figured 
mostly due to the fact Kings X  was the opening band..... or maybe 
co-headlining band as they got a pretty  generous hour plus set and imo and 
many others, came close to blowing  Extreme off the stage. Extreme, which is 
generally known as a poppish hair  metal band from the early 90's was very 
impressive as well.  Their  guitarist, Nuno is an incredible shredder and 
overall, the band was  incredibly tight and put on a very solid 90 minute set 
of their oldies and  a few excellent cuts of their new album.

On the KJ front, I asked a  staff person at the box office about how well tix 
for KJ are selling for  the hell of it and she said I could buy as many as I 
want as "less than a  hundred" appear to have been sold.  Not good.
