Details:
I was sitting in a parked car with Iggy Pop,slamming down cans of
Schlitz malt liquor and listening to "some crap on the radio" when the subject
of the band béla lugosi came up.
Iggy became agitated and started bouncing in place.
"Those guys,I mean Camon! Right On!"
Unfortunately ,Iggy was talking about The Ramones.
The Lugosi's on the other hand are a different beast altogether.
Flash back to
1984,as Santa Ana winds howled and an old mattress
burned,the band béla lugosi struggled to remain on stage at a dive
in I.V called the shack.Not content to just close down one club,béla
lugosi spent a decade closing down clubs from Goleta to as far south
as Santa Barbara Ca, but they are banned from Monteceito.
At one point they all got real bored,so they headed off to Europe
to try out the life of street performers. Ultimately ,they returned home ,
crawling on their hands and knees,all desperate,some even dead.
The surviving members bonded via an old Ouija board. Luckily the internet
arrived,but the sound quality still suffered ,so they had to all go back to analog.
Flash forward to
2008, ,the band is all asleep in the back of a parked car,waiting for sound
check at Anderson's Pea Soup in Buelton. Ironically enough ,just a few months before,
they had been refused bacon bits from the same restaurant.
"They hated it ,now they love it,go figure" Iggy said in regards to the whole
myspace incident.
The bands usually soft-spoken singer,Ingrid Bodnar,
had a different take on the story:
"Those young whippersnappers from Fontana were just plain rude
and needed to be taken down.That other band ,the Italians,we don't
care about,cuz no offense,but their Italian ,what are they gonna do
really?Those Argentineans though,we are keeping a close eye on,
cuz we are a jealous band,and we are really jealous about the tango."
No offense taken.
