no disrespect meant to any of the SoCal natives, 'migrants or re-locators....
i love LA (dude i even bought a Tshirt that says it....i'm starting a collection of "I Heart" Shirts based on my I Heart LA shirt....true things!)....
it's the "land of the No"....no worries, no cares...no boundaries, no normality....no rules...no rain (that is: between October and April)...AND most importanly...no snow!!!!!~at least not yet....
but on May 25th @ The Roxy...it was no vibe.
the band was great ..but just no vibe generated from the crowd....
there were girls in high heels and people that just didn't seem that into the band themselves...that could be said about almost every show.....there are always stragelers and poseurs and people that truly aren't interested in live music....
however...it just seemed a little....well......off.
the no-no started when i walked in and attempted to walk up a set of stairs to my left for a better view and an alcoholic beverage....i was stopped by the only not-so-big bouncer employed there with a "This is V.I.P."...to my daunting surprise, i couldn't believe what i was hearing......so i decided to ask him politely to repeat himself....he said it AGAIN.....i was virtually speechless...so much in fact, all that could come out of my agaped mouth was a friendly mocking..."Ooooooo V.I.P.".....the guy looked at me with a "I know. Ridiculous" face....it seemed as though my friendly mocking tone transcended some truth......
V.I.P. @ a Clutch show?????????????????????.....no.
Only in LA.
