I would like to officially nominate Joey B's as least Sac place in downtown Sac. Or, alternately, the news and review could give it an award for best place to go downtown if you want to feel like you are in the suburbs. But, it's still a pretty good place to watch the Kings make a large sucking noise. We saw a wasted guy puke a little bit of a mixed drink on the floor and then play it off like nothing happened and then within a few minutes he had probably forgotten that anything happened. Voila!
Last night the Megacools played at the Red Square and DeathMatch made their debut as a band, but I didn't go. I'd like to hear how it went.
Who's Death match?
ReplyDeleteI poked my head in there awhile ago and Joey B's looks like the worst place to go in the entire town - even just for a laugh. I have to argue that it's nothing like going to a bar in the suburbs. Maybe the whole sports bar thing reminds people of being the burbs or going to a place like Applebees...?
ReplyDeleteHaving been to a few bars, both bad sports bars and old watering holes, out here in the burbs, I didn't get that icky feeling of being in a slick, sports bar. In my experiences, most bars out here are like the Flame Club or Back Door before they became popular - lots of older, down-on-their luck types, Steppenwolf on the juke box and old bartenders with no teeth.
I was too busy drinking beer in an undisclosed backyard to see DeathMatch who I think is Alec, Vince and Sully? I don't know for sure. I also was too late to see the band from Missoula, but afterwards we had a nice talk about secret Montana stuff that I cannot reveal to flatlanders. It was the first time I saw the MegaCools and they were great, their first song blew me away.

PS: Heckamax, what's your email again?
getting sick in public places = such an ameature move.
ReplyDeletedp is involved in death match and so is mike ross. i don't think vince is.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Death Beast. Did they change their name? Death Match is better.

there is some confusion about this band. will the manager please issue a press release? i heard the manager was nitro.
ReplyDeleteDeath Beast is Alec , Mike Ross, DP, Armando and Chris Sullivan. Also Ms. Sac, We will not take this afront to our name lying down! Consider yr self warned, you live in Death Beast City!
ReplyDeletexoxo Death Beast
I like death match better. However, Death Beast was pretty great. I got a guided by voices vibe, then Charles and I argued over which song was their "Fall" song.

EVIL ! EVIL!
ReplyDeleteStart chant now.
Remember the idea for the chant album? C'mon, hipsters. The countdown for the end of the Loft begins now.

I think smiller may have some ideas for the title of that album...
ReplyDeleteOK, he's not going to be forthcoming so I will. I know one of his ideas for the album title is "Phat Chantz".
ReplyDeleteAnd the less funny but pretty much inevitable follow-up 'Second Chants'.
ReplyDeleteIn defense of Joey B's, they're one of the only bars downtown that shows ALL of the Kings games. It drives me insane when I go somewhere to watch a game & instead they have football or fucking March madness on instead! It's Sac, dogs.
