  • Surf punks

    Social Distortion, the Adolescents and even bubblegummy Blink-182 are among the bands whose scheduled UC Irvine shows were canceled at the last minute over the years because fraighty cat campus security fretted onslaughts of scary, leather-clad, facially pincushioned punk rockers. A quick glance at the surfers, beachcombers and plain ol' average folks lined up against the extension of the 241 Foothill South toll road extension through San Onofre State Beach and other environmentally sensitive a

The hearing was to go off last month in the Bren Events Center until fears about the expected crowd size, coupled with a sl

I wasn't there (was at Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Fox Theater in Pomona, and have yet to master the art of bilocation), but you were. And you had some things to say about it, so enjoy this round-up of tweets from the show. (All creative spellings/selective capitalization are courtesy the individual Twitterers.) Response was uniformly positive to the Killers themselves, bu
