KooKooNauts at the Rabobank for undefeated hockey nights - By N.L. Belardes
I got up and wandered around the house this morning and wondered, “What’s going on in this new year in the music scene already?”
Will The Filthies finish their CD as promised?
Will Mento Buru actually write a hockey song?
Will Matildakay finish her novel?
Will the neon nazis really take a hiatus?
Will Norfolk release an e.p.?
Will the Condors win on the next band night? 5-0 when bands play and 6-0 if you include the first time they played the hockey CD in the Rabobank. This Saturday, January 7th, the KooKooNauts will be playing “Birds of Prey”, one of my favorite songs from Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol. 1.
It took a while to talk the KooKooNauts into being a part of the CD. They were on board at first, but you know how punk high school kids get. Their focus turned elsewhere. Then there was the big attack on Bryan, their lead singer. I think something changed in his life where he gained focus and in a matter of days suddenly had a hockey song.
His is a success story. He’s gone from almost losing an eye and having been tragically attacked to his big comeback this Saturday. To go from injury and sadness to playing at the Rabobank arena during a Condors hockey game. You just can’t beat it!


Go support this kid and his cool band, the KooKooNauts. I'm kookoo for KooKooNauts! I just linked up some special priced seating tickets for the game. Go check it out and see a cool kid punk band who I have never seen before. And then pray that the Birds of Prey will pull through and continue their unbeaten streak on band night!
