Last night I saw a “surf” rockin’ show at the Rickshaw Stop (a small, cool place to see a show in SF). The opening band was the Going Going Gone Girls, featuring Klaus Flouride from the Dead Kennedys on guitar. They were fun, silly and sloppy - great outfits on the ladies!
Next on the bill was Pollo Del Mar, a local SF surf rock band that kicked some serious surf rockin’ ass. The guitar players were great, the drummer was amazing and the bass player was good too. They did a great Zappa cover and a super dooper cover of the Dead Kennedys “Moon Over Marin” (for Klaus, of course).
The headliner was Laika & the Cosmonauts from freakin’ Finland and they were cool. I’ve been wanting to see them for quite some time, and it’s a good thing I went to this show because this was their final tour. That’s right, they are breaking up after 21 years.
I enjoyed Laika & the Cosmonauts, but by midnight I had to split. Great show, daddy-o.
