Fun News from Van Zandt's Underground Garage Show Last Night

Just got an on-the-ground report from last night's Rolling Rock & Roll show in LA...Steven Van Zandt's latest bullet in the battle for rock & roll music....

"Last night in LA/Hollywood was the 2nd night of the November Rolling Rock & Roll show and WOW what a show. First off, to get a packed house on a Tuesday night @ The Avalon (and election night, and with Aerosmith/Motley Crue down the street at the Hollywood Bowl and Joan Jett another mile away at the Henry Fonda theatre) is a testament to the drawing power of this show. The New York Dolls were amazing, The Supersuckers killed, The Chesterfield Kings were fantastic as always, first time seeing Davie Allan and the Arrows (while the rest of the country will get to see the Charms again) and the LA winner of the Battle of the Bands were...interesting but brought along 100 or so fanatic fans who crowded the front of the stage to get the night rolling.

And speaking of Aerosmith, Joe Perry and his family came to the Avalon to see the New York Dolls following his band's show at the Hollywood Bowl. Obviously he knew where the "place to be" was last night. And even Slash was spotted at the Underground Garage show as well...

As usual with chaos all around, Adam Parsons and Joe Lopez ran a tight ship and the bands couldn't have been nicer. And great to have the surprise LA appearance by Beauvoir and Bernacki...
