JH and the Squares, Vaudeville, Abe Vigoda, and Mika Miko @ Comic Bug, 10/28/07

Comic Bug in Redondo Beach hosted a show last night which included the lineup of South Bay locals JH and the Squares and Vaudeville, following LA underground music scene giants Abe Vigoda and Mika Miko. Around 100 people showed up for what promised to be quite the entertaining night.

JH and the Squares:

Joe Hylander is a busy man. When not touring with locals E>K>U>K, he's practicing and writing songs alongside fellow local man Jesse Hoffman of two-piece chicken dinner OHHOME! When these brilliantly creative forces combine, they make up JH and the Squares. Or, JH and the Motherfucking Squares!!! as I like to call them. Joe Hylander's vocals bear an uncanny resemblance to Elliott Smith's, and Jesse's stage presence is one of a statute confidence.

These guys are definitely coming to rock your world into a million tiny pieces (not to be confused with the shitty book that Oprah endorsed). If you were a toilet seat they would stomp you in half with a steel-toe boot. If you were a house of mirrors they'd blast through you with an AK-47. If you were a field of daisies they would run you over with a motherfucking John Deere. And if you were Steve Buscemi, they'd chop you up into tiny pieces and stuff your leg into a woodchipper with your socks still on. Yes. They rock that hard. And they're great guys, too!

These are some badass motherfuckers.

ENJOY THE PICS!




Loungy. Jazzy. Jammy. Psychedelic. Zappa-esque. Local heroes Vaudeville have been around the block and back, with fat catchy bass riffs, great smooth rhythms, and one of the best, if the not the best drummers in town, Sean Johnson (also of E>K>U>K, and formerly of From). If you live in the South Bay and you haven't at least heard of these guys, you're probably not cool. I'm serious. No I'm not. Yes I am.
