Mickey Nixes Metal Concert
Raise your hand if you saw this coming... The powers that be at Walt Disney Properties have pressured concert promoter Live Nation into cancelling tomorrow’s Machine Head show at the House Of Blues, the reason being “violent imagery, undesirable fans and inflammatory lyrics”. The Happiest Place On Earth? Not if you’re a metal fan. Mickey thinks you’re “undesirable”, therefore not welcome in his squeaky clean Magic Kingdom. Censorship? Discrimination?

January 24, 2008People Noise, Casket Salesmen and The Prisoner's Dilemma at the Glass House on 02/10
The minute I cut through the entrance curtains of the Glass House in Pomona Sunday night, it dawned on me how the setup looked more like an intimate rehearsal than an actual gig. In the darkness of the main hall, the venue's flashing strobes and swirling colored lights revealed. . .the floor, buffed and in perfect condition. Scattered clusters of fans contently kept their distance from the stage. It was a pretty rough scene. That fact alone could have brought the performances of the headlining

I don't know how I missed this, other than the obvious answer of being a failure as a human.Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the dudes behind Adult Swim shows "Tom Goes to the Mayor" and current global phenomenon "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job," are coming to the Glass House in Pomona on Jan. 16.

You're either in a) the group of shaggy-haired teenagers who wouldn't mind if he played "Sensual Seduction" twice, or b) the group of 30-somethings who've been listening to tha Doggfather since his "Deep Cover" debut and want nothing more than to hear that song, a few verses from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" and all of "D

February 20, 2009OC Weekly faves land Glass House gigs
Like any local fan, I'm always excited to see bands we've written about in the Weekly get some solid recognition elsewhere. Okay, so maybe Pomona is not too far elsewhere, but the April calendar at The Glass House has great OC/LB talent opening up for some Coachella caliber acts. The jazzy jam artists of Free Moral Agents, created by Mars Volta keyboardist Ikey Owens, landed a prime opening gig for their New York buddies TV On the Radio on April 14, days before they take the stage in Indio.

April 16, 2009Black Lips acoustic show at Finger Prints, Sat. May 2
Apparently Black Lips are all about Southern California. Not too surprising for a band from the south (Atlanta, Georgia specifically). After all, we do have ultra-hip towns like Long Beach inside our borders. As a matter-of-fact, you can find them in the LBC this Saturday on their way into Pomona for a Glass HOuse show on May 2 and a Detroit Bar gig the next day on May 3. They will be playing a scaled-down, fully-clothed performance at Finger Prints record store at 2p.m. of Saturday. Together, i

Whether you're a Christian rocker, a Christian that likes to rock or just someone that likes punk/hardcore music, you may very well have taken in the festivities at the two-day Facedown Fest at the Glass House in Pomona. It's a showcase for the Fallbrook-based record label, and included bands such as Sleeping Giant, War of Ages and Impending Doom. Lots of great band names there. Our guy Chad Sengstock took pictures on both days, day one is here, day two? Right here! Enjizoy. (Sorry, that sounded

April 9, 2009Tomorrow: Gogol Bordello at Fox Pomona
For inhabitants of downtown Pomona, the past few months have seen the resurrection of the city's most glamorous landmark, Fox Pomona, as construction crews slowly clear away and the glowing marquee fills up w/ events. Tomorrow night is definitely it's biggest one to date as the rattling fervor of gypsy punk kicks open the doors of the Fox's first Golden Voice concert. As far as I know, tickets for tomorrow's Gogol Bordello show are still available and honestly, you probably couldn't pick a

Sweden's Little Dragon hits Detroit Bar tonight, fresh from opening up for TV on the Radio for the last good little while. Though they reside in the faraway Scandinavian land, lead singer Yukimi Nagano's mother and grandmother both live in Costa Mesa. Wacky! $15.They've got a really neat moody, spacey electro-pop thing going on--but don't take my word for it. Take Ned Raggett's, who wrote about the band in this week's OC Weekly. Can't make it tonight? No worries--they're playing the Glass House

For many, it also meant a swift walk past the forsaken skeleton of the Fox Theater on Garey Ave. followed by the whiny, rhetorical question "why the fuck don't they do something with this place?"

May 28, 2009Is It Too Early for Halloween News?
The answer is no. Our nation's best holiday that isn't really a holiday but should be is fun for all ages. Kids get to wear costumes and stuff their faces with free candy and adults get to wear costumes and stuff their bellies with copious amounts of booze. Win-win!Ah, but this Halloween will be a somber one thanks to the recent passing of Cramps lead singer Lux Interior. The psychobilly godfathers performed throughout October for as long as I can remember, but unless Lux pulls his greatest move
July 7, 2009Another Chance to Squirt Your Way to Girl Talk
And another chance for me to use that awesome headline!Following last month's Girl Talk performance at the Grove of Anaheim, which featured an entry fee of 36 (used) cans of Squirt, bootleg DJ Greg Gillis (better known as Girl Talk, natch) will be doing virtually the same thing July 24 at the Fox Theater in Pomona. Admission is once again 36 cans of Squirt, and 100 or more cans equal a VIP badge for a Girl Talk meet and greet. It's for a good cause, too, as the cans benefit Habitat for Humanity
July 7, 2009Sonic Youth Coming to the Fox Theater!
The recently reopened Fox Theater in Pomona (see Vickie Chang's article on the place) continues to impress. Not just from being an ultra-cool venue in terms of aesthetics, but also for bringing some great acts to our area-ish that you'd otherwise have to go to LA for (not that a trip to Pomona is usually much closer, depending on where you live, but still, less traffic!).Following last month's Wilco show, the Fox is hosting another legendary, iconic, add your own superlative here band--Sonic You

Wasilla may now forever be inextricably linked with Sarah Palin jokes, but the small Alaska town has more going for it than just the ability to see Russia from there. Post-hardcore troupe Portugal. The Man are also from there, and though we don't know what newspapers they read, either, they're pretty neat. Their latest album, The Satanic Satanist, just came out last week, and they're doing the tour thing in support of it. Said tour is coming our way (or our way-ish) on September 26 at the Gla
July 30, 2009Update! Squirt Can Requirement for Girl Talk Show at the Fox Changed!
Recycling is great, free shows are great, soda is great--what's not to love about the gimmick/sponsorship dealie when you get into Girl Talk shows for free with 36 empty cans of Squirt? It gives you a chance to drink (a lot of) a relatively obscure soft drink, see a noted mash-up wizard for free, and feel like you're doing something positive for the environment. It went down last month at the Grove of Anaheim and is happening July 24 at the Fox Theater in Pomona.But things have changed: instead

If you were not fortunate enough to hear beautiful Glaswegian pop as sung by the lovely and talented Tracyanne Campbell and the rest of Camera Obscura last night at the Glass House in Pomona, no worries (well, you should worry a little, because it was probably great and it'll likely be a while before they play the area, but you can't make yourself sick over such things, right?). Chad Sengstock was there, and as these things turn out, he brought his camera. It gets better! He took some awesome pi
June 10, 2009New Albums for Three Warped Tour Bands
Before they embark on the Warped Tour's maiden voyage to Pomona, there's one major house keeping issue that some bands chose to attend to before traveling all over the country playing to thousands. That usually involves cranking out a new album. Tomorrow, three of the tour's bands are releasing new material for die hard fans and downloaders alike. Veteran punks Anit-Flag (pictured) release their eighth full -ength album of politically-driven protest anthems titled People or the Gun on Side

September 30, 2009On-Sale Saturday: Virtually Nothing! But New Shows From Peaches, Glassjaw

The outings include just three shows at The Mayan Theater in L.A., the Glass House in Pomona and The Regency Theater in San Francisco. It's quite a come up for fans of both bands, especially Glassjaw fans who probably haven't seen the band perform together since the early to mid 00's. Their las
November 2, 2009Flier of the Week: Respect II-MMA Fights at Fox Theater Pomona
When you walk through the foyer of the Fox Theater Pomona, with all it's sprawling murals, high columns and 1930s ballroom grandeur, you know there's only one thing that comes to mind: triangle chokes, leg locks and bloody noses. For that very reason, the Fox chose to tap into Pomona's lively MMA crowd for the marginally anticipated event "Respect II" , featuring a bunch of glistening, buff guys you've never heard of. The fights kick off this Friday, Nov. 20. It's obviously the firs
