Last night we played at Linda's Doll Hut in Anaheim, California. For me this was a bucket list item. Robert has already played there a couple of times when he was in Morningside, and Side Project, but I have only been a patron. I have seen a lot of bands play in that dirty little corner they called a stage, and I have always wanted to get in there and do it too. Last night I was able to and it was great.
This show was a last minute deal, and we were happy to get the call. As almost none of you know, the Doll Hut is going to come to an end at the end of the year, and I have been told that a Cantina will be taking it's place. The building will remain, but the punk rock will stop.....forever? Who knows. The Doll Hut is an icon in Orange County, even though most of the locals have never even heard of it.
We were happy to see some familiar faces. All you that keep coming to the NO FORMULA show have been noticed, and we look forward to seeing you again at Malone's on December 8. You have been notified. There are a couple of notes I wanted to make about some of the bands last night. The first was a solo act by Carter Rollins (or maybe Justin Carter?....I'm not sure). I haven't looked at it but his website is
www.carterrollins.com. I will check it out cause this guy was good. Skill, Talent, good stuff. Nice guy too. Another comment is for the band called Rolling Drunks
. They played a cover of the oldies classic "Gloria...G L O R I A", that was great. It is still stuck in my head. There were 2 or 3 other bands that played but I missed them due to reasons that will remain private and I will not attest to. The only other band that played, and closed the show was Red River Massacre. (

These guys have been on my radar and I was happy to be playing a show with them. They have a sound that is different from everyone else. Did you know that they have an ELECTRIC BANJO? Baddass. Solid songs, that rocked. I will see these guys again. I already know that I want to replace my bass rig to be something like the bass rig in RRM. Let's just say it rhymes with "Orange".
It was a fun night. Happy and sad at the same time and an experience that I will remember.
Now that you have read this, write a comment below already....Thanks.
