Pappy & Harriet's, Joshua Tree & Bobby Furst's Studio

Last weekend we went out to play a show at our favorite place on the planet: Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. By the end of the show everyone there either offered us a record deal, a place to stay, drugs, sex, to hire us for their corporate Christmas parties or all of the above. That's what a successful rock n' roll show is all about.

To complete our traditional loop, we head over to the Country Kitchen in Joshua Tree on Sunday morning for the best breakfast around.

Before heading home, we go have a beer and get our minds blown with the one of a kind genius artist Bobby Furst at his studio which is really an installation art work in and of itself with a million different pieces obsessively organized in to some kind of an eminent order. Every inch of that place makes sense. It is overwhelming in the best possible way.

Here are some pics from the events...

We'll be back there on New Year's Day which is a Friday. Come party with us!

Rock n' Roll At A Strip Club

Ya ever heard of a little group called the Beatles? Well they played cover tunes at strip clubs in Hamburg, Germany for a couple years. A few months ago the PC Band got the opportunity of a life time. To play Crazy Girls on La Brea & Sunset. Not quite the Beatles in Hamburg, but our own little twist on it. We actually did it 3 times in one month. Our good friend just happens to be the best live photographer around. He documented the shenanigans...

Crazy Girls

Robert Plant & Jackshit

A few weeks ago I was at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. It was a crazy day. One of the best of my life. 5 albums worth of pics are here.

I played a song with my buddies Elvis Perkins In Dearland.

But this is not why I write today. I write today because bumming around among the Mt. Rushmore of bluegrass and billionaires and millionaires and superstars backstage, I'm walking and look over to see Robert Plant. He's talking with Elvis Costello's drummer Pete Thomas. And I get all nervous. Cuz like how do I say hello and still be cool. I don't want anything from them. Just to acknowledge they're a couple of inspiring and badass musicians. I walk kinda over by them. And then...
chicken out.

But as I'm chickening out, I overhear them talking. Pete is talking about and explaining his side project band Jackshit. It's him and Elvis Costello's bass player, Davey Farragher, and Jackson Browne's guitar player Val McCallum. They do 3 part harmonies all night long with the best country soul covers & redneck schtick in between. Pure genius.

So, I stop in my tracks. And walk right up to them. I'm like "Are you guys talking about Jackshit?! They're my favorite band." And Pete says to Robert, "See this guy knows what he's talking about." And I say to Plant, "Oh you've done a great thing or two here and there yourself." I shook their hands and said, "It was an honor to meet you both." And then was on my way.
