red elvises @ slim's

Last night I went to the Red Elvises show at Slim's. They put on a great show. These guys are fun, down-to-earth and talented russian surf guitar musicians ("Kick-ass Rock'n'Roll from Siberia") most famous because they provided the music for the excellent indie film Six String Samurai (I'm told, haven't actually seen it myself).

A number of my friends were there also: Sean, Lani, Jason and Ahn Chi (on left in pic) and I even saw Sarah from my tuesday night dive-bar group. Click the photo above to see more of Sean's pictures from the show.

I'd definitely catch them live again, they were thoroughly entertaining and got the audience dancing consistently. Sean says it was the best show he'd seen in San Francisco, but it wasn't quite that far up there for me (that level of adulation goes to Kinky @ Justice League and several acts at Sleazefest West (especially The Roofies)).

I didn't say it was the best show I've seen in San Francisco. I -did- say "this was the best live music and the funniest show I've seen in a long time, maybe in years," is that what you meant?

Now that you mention it, it was one of the best. Not sure what the best was though... The first Incredibly Strange Wrestling show I went to, at the Transmission Theater, was up there too. I forgot who the band was but they were good and the crowd was a lot of fun.

Hey I think you meant to put Jason's name in your post, no? It looks like you're saying Lani's in the photo you link to. (she's not)

Well when your drunk Irish-American ass was slurring comments to me in the soviet surf-roletariat din it sounded like you said "best show I'd seen in San Francisco."

Was missing a closing in an anchor tag for Jason and Ahn Chi, thanks for the head's up.

So are you going to correct your inaccurate attribution or is hell going to freeze over?

[Dav Coleman]

What are you yapping about?

[sean]

I was trying to gently point out your libelous ways, but some folks can't take a hint.

I suppose I'll have to sick Lawrence Lessig on your arse.

Huh? Have you been dipping into my liquid meth jug again?
