sad day for the classic power pop fans. listen to some old Big Star if you haven’t heard them, and see where a lot of influence came from. R.I.P. buddy…
on another note, good ol’ Ticketmaster decided for some stupid reason to advertise my LA show at the El Rey Theatre as a show with “No Black Widows”… that is complete bullshit. it will be a full band show, and in fact, i may actually crowd the room with many more additional Black Widows just to make a point (hint: lots of special guests are gonna be there that night). why don’t they just go ahead and advertise me as Bruce Watkins or something…
But who doesn’t love a good Bruce Watkins and the No Black Widows show?
Seriously though, all you LA people should take a night and check out Butch and the BWs at the El Ray. Fantastic show, and if you’re smart, you’ll pray for a little story time with Fran.
