whats up people? its been a pretty boring week around these parts, at least for me. my wife, on the other hand, has been given the opportunity to create a munu for a new restaurant opening up in ventura, ca. her best friend’s sister is the owner of a couple of joints in the area and is looking for a chef, which my wife is, from chicago to open and create a menu for his new space. so, its kinda exciting but i am not going to hold my breathe. i have always wanted to live in california, and this might just be our opportunity.
i am totally backlogged on bands that i need to write about. sadly, i have found little inspriation/energy to write much of any substance as of late. one band that i think are quite interesting is the soft complex, straight outta d.c. the soft complex features ex members of burning airlines – ex j robbins band, phaser and trixie delicious, the later bands i have never heard of, but that doesnt mean much. from the one track i have heard, they have a guitar sound kinda reminiscent of early day duran duran – which i dig. i am interested in hearing the whole ep, entitled barcelona.

Good post. I’m from Ventura originally so I can recommend it as a nice, cozy little town — not much of a nightlife, especially if you’re into live music, but Los Angeles is just an hour away.
thanks for the heads up dave. why does california have to be so god damn expensive? so outrageous.
