Carnage Asada II - By N.L. Belardes

For all of you who think I just sat around on my arse on Sunday. Yes, I did miss Teenage Talking Cars at Riley’s and Liars and Thieves. But then, I had a bunch of musicians hanging out for the second episode of “Carnage Asada”! Yes, this was one of those rare barbecues where the salsa is as good as the chicken, beef and Mexican rice. A rundown of who was there?

Liars and Thieves stopped by just before their big set. Teenage Talking Cars were supposed to show up. And to think I had more carne on the grill for them. Shameful. Those LA bands just aren’t “carnage asada” eaters. Who else was there? Nunez and his compadre, writer Katie Mumpower; most of Sioux City Sassy; most of Norfolk: Peter Prevost, Pablo Alaniz (his idea for the BBQ) and James Ratliff; ska king Matt Munoz; JR of illpressed; matildakay; Dirty Spanglish was in the house as was Heath Dobbler and a host of others…




You didn’t get invited? No problem. There will be a Day of the Dead party just soon enough, and maybe even “Carnage Asada III” right here in the Oleander Arts Collective.

The highlight?

Had to be James Ratliff getting’ down to 40 Watt Hype’s CD, Unification Theory. Would have done Aaron Wall and company proud.
