Thursday 10 October (The Tiki House - Pacific Beach, CA)
We headed for
The Tiki House at Pacific Beach and found good parking after 2 passes around
the bar - then headed for dinner across the street. San Diego's own Creepy
Creeps joined the bill for this show & went on 2nd after another great set
by The Infrareds. Creepy Creeps used a lot of fog, green lights and some
scary gogo dancers mixed with a white trash monologue "we're from Arkansas,
you cocksuckers."
Despite the cool name of the bar, and their cool tshirts, the venue was
not best suited to live entertainment - smaller than the Lava Lounge with a
covered pool table right in the middle of floor in front of the stage really
acted as a barrier between the bands and the crowd - all bands, especially
the Creepy Creeps really need a bigger stage and viewing area to be their
best - although we managed to get a good recording of our show, which
despite everything else, wasn't too bad.
Another hasty retreat out of the bar with equipment being haphazardly
thrown into the van & on to Ocean Beach where we would be staying for the
next two nights.
