I'm actually pretty torn about this flier. On one hand, I'm all, "Hey, a naked lady! Whoohoo!" On the other hand, I'm like, "Aww man. That naked lady has gross lesions and scales all over her body and some sort of weird face on her boobs."

We told you about Mothers Sons and Daniel Morones earlier today, but Long Beach's Rocco DeLuca and the Burden (of I Trust You to Kill Me fame) are also wrapping up a January residency tonight, over at Spaceland in Los Angeles. And hey, it's also free! Things just keep getting better. Starts around 8:30, so start driving now.
The OC Music Awards showcases did things acoustic-style last night, with their first of two shows from Costa Mesa's eVocal. Cory Case, Sarah Green, Poor Richards Press and Hong Kong Six all performed, and our guy Keith May was there taking pictures. Ch-check 'em out. The showcases return to eVocal next Tuesday, with performances from The New Limb, Daniel Morones, Francisco the Man! and Yellow Red Sparks.
