Five San Diego Indie Bands from the '70s-'80s That Should Reunite
Also, it was [the Zebra Club][1] (later Saigon Palace), not "Club Zebra." This was one of the formative clubs in that slice of San Diego, along with the legendary [Skeleton Club.][2] [1]: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?p=1391 [2]: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?p=904— May 29, 2012 8:40 p.m.
Five San Diego Indie Bands from the '70s-'80s That Should Reunite
I'd love to see [the Unknowns][1] make this list, not to mention [the Crawdaddys][2]. [The Zeros][3] are already back together, so I guess that's one wish granted! :-) [1]: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?p=1512 [2]: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?page_id=1041 [3]: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?page_id=1160— May 29, 2012 8:21 p.m.

Crawdaddys & Unknowns Reunion Shows: Casbah Sept. 2 and 3
Thanks for the coverage, Jay! One small correction: Because of scheduling conflicts, the Unknowns were unable to play our Che Underground gig in Jan. 2010. So this really is the very first time the definitive Unknowns lineup has played San Diego in three decades! By the way, Saturday openers the Comeuppance (featuring Dave Fleminger and Heather Vorwerck) are an incredibly talented act who'll be playing with some wonderful surprise guests. Here's a taste of their work: http://cheunderground.com/blog/?p=5547— August 27, 2011 7:21 p.m.
My Brunch With Yoko
Oh! As long as you're not speaking literally, that's good news for the quality of the conversation. (I didn't realize this was a 2010 article when Jay linked to it from Facebook, so obviously I'm late to the party.)— May 7, 2011 7:39 p.m.
My Brunch With Yoko
I was raised in the NY avant-garde, so Yoko and her performance work with Fluxus were known to my parents before they ever heard the Beatles. She's been a significant presence in the art world since the late 1950s. Me, myself, I'm more of an acolyte of John Lennon's work — but that's really a false dichotomy. Yes, they were married; yes, they collaborated; yes, they apparently loved each other deeply (although none of us are either of them, so we really have no say in that matter). But to say the life's work of Ono and Lennon need automatically be compared is a ridiculous apples-to-oranges proposition. As far as Yoko creating revenue from Lennon's estate, whether for profit or charity: He left the work to her, I can enjoy it the way I want to, and it's none of my business how else she keeps it in the public eye. Tough nuts if you don't like it.— May 7, 2011 4:26 p.m.
Seven Degrees
Thank you to the San Diego Reader and Bart Mendoza for this great coverage of a project I'm proud to launch out of San Diego. It's been many years, but our music scene is coded into my DNA! I hope to see more old friends join us at http://www.sceneroller.com (and at http://cheunderground.com/blog) ... There's something profoundly satisfying about getting the band back together, and everybody deserves the chance to experience it.— March 31, 2011 4:22 a.m.
