[kj] FW: CARBON/SILICON - CARBON CASINO STARTS FRIDAY 11TH JANUARY

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Alex,
 
I have been following them since I first heard of them 3 or so years ago  and 
they would have free MP3's on their website before they came out with the cd  
"The Last Post". It is a pretty good album with tunes that somewhat could 
sound  like The Clash. We actually went to see them in the beginning of Dec. at  
The Troubadour here in L.A. and it was a great gig! Packed to the gills with  
late 30's and 40's and it was sold out. It was nice for they were all  adults 
who saw The Clash or didn't. Mick was having a great time telling stories  and 
dueling with Tony James. ; ) They sold the CD there and I bought one  that 
came with a free autograph poster for $15! Quite the bargain! The shirts  were 
not all so grand and went for $ 25 for which I did not buy. 
 
After the gig we went to the alley way behind the venue and got  to meet old 
Mick with two autograph hounds who looked like hippies that were  getting 
Clash records signed to sell on EBAY I suppose? Totally not your  regular fans if 
I may add. After he was done I introduced myself to him and  told him the firs 
time I heard The Clash was on the radio station KROQ when I  was 12 in 1979 
and how I never got to see them play live back in 1982 or  1983 but did see 
them on the old Saturday Night Live clone show "Fridays"  were they played 4 
songs!  He was impressed for I said seeing that  show is what got me into Punk 
Rock and then I shaved my head a year and a half  later! To see Mick smile and 
laugh was classic! 
 
We also saw and talked to Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus and was the most humble  
and nicest guy to talk to you! A real straight up cat! I told him of the story  
were my punk buddies snuck into the dressing room at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd. 
 via the ground and how they were in there eating their food and drinking 
their  drinks when they came in and caught them!  Where they soon after  smoked 
them out and got to see the band on the side of the stage. After I told  him he 
said.. "Those Fuckers!" with a big smile and laugh! That was  classic! By the 
way the new Bauhaus "Gone Away White" is not so bad. I have  to listen to it 
again but it has 10 songs. I got it off Soulseek which  I was surprised to see 
it was already out there. Peter's voice is really  good on it and carry's it 
in some songs really for a long time! I think some of  you Bauhaus fans will 
like it and some may not. After all I think "Burning From  The Inside" is 
better a swan song so go figure.

Has anyone heard their record? I have it, but most confess to not having  
gotten around to actually listening to it. Afraid what I might find  there.


Personally speaking, I was bored to tears by that Good, Bad, Queen disc.  
Awful.
