Vans held quite the event at their Cypress headquarters last night for the release of their “Vans: Off The Wall  Stories of Sole” book release. It was a great turn out for this invite only event with skateboard icons Tony Alva, Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi, Steve Van Doren, Omar Hassan and more sigining away on […]

23 years and counting, Canadian political punkers, Propaghandi, still gots it! They’re show at the Glass House (Pomona, Calif.) last Friday, May 29 was off the hook! The venue was filled, and definitely not with your average hipster teens, (that’s for sure — but the new Fox Theater had a swarm of  them). I think […]

Although there was plenty of good happenings going on this past weekend, I’m quite happy I choose to attend the Paso Robles Wine Festival. What can I say, I love me some wine. Amidst the 105-degree weather we had an amazing time. I tried pacing myself, but after about an hour and a half I […]

“Die Posers Die!” Damn was the line out the door. Dining patrons in the area must of thought Lil Ethiopia is the hot new foodie spot. But no, twas the “Die Posers Die” exhibition at Tony Alva’s joint. Featuring renowned skaters: Steve Caballero, Tony Alva, Steve Olson, Christian Hosoi, Lance Mountain, Chris Pastras, Jason Adams […]

Not even 24 hours on first-time American soil, I welcome my cousin, quite the cute Peruvian import, to the good ole US of A with a crazy Black Lips show. Thanks to my boys at the Glass House, we had a blast! Although the venue wasn’t sold out, it was a solid crowd. My cousin […]

Sunday, day three, the final round of Coachella and boy was it a hot one! I think the last time I checked, the temperature read 106 degrees. We took it easy on the alcohol, being that many of us were just knackered from the previous nights. And for some, including myself, I had been partying […]

Day two coming through! As dirty hot and sexy sweaty Saturday was, hitting the hundos, it was an eventful day. I would’ve like to have caught some Ida Maria and Billy Talent, but it’s just so hard to say no to mimosas and good beats by the pool with a bunch of fun people. After […]

So I wake up Friday morning with my ears still ringing from the fuzzy-psychedelic-fantastic Black Keys performance I caught the night before at the Glass House. With happy butterflies dancing around in my tummy, I’m stoked to endure three more full-days of ringing ear syndrome as Friday, April 17 marks the first day of Coachella […]

Those of you that read grimygoods regularly know that I have an affinity towards The Black Keys and all things Dan Auerbach. What can I say? They are at the top of my list and basically kick fuckin ass! Not to mention Dan is a great guy and I am completely and utterly enchanted by […]

So I was gonna write a review on this very high energy, no vomiting or pissing on fans Black Lips show, but I opted not to.  There’s already a recent review on here of their New York show and it’s pretty damn good. But I will say: the show fuckin rocked! Detroit Bar is a […]

“These guys wanna fuckin’ die on stage.” That’s one of the thoughts that ran through my head barely three songs into the Black Lips performance. The energy these crazy cats bring is unparalleled. I’ll spare a comparo because they’ve all been hog-tied to the bumper of a rusty old Ford pickup and dragged through the […]

What an incredible show! There was copius shots of Jack Daniels, delicious cigarettes, friendly show goers, and (most importantly) kick ass melt your geriatric grandma’s face off motherfuckin’ rock and roll! Those Darlins were a treat of an opener. Their dirty country swagger and rad outfits (ruffly booty shorts)! A fucking fox or lion or […]

This past Saturday night (February 7) was “such a perfect day.” The day was bright and sunny, and pretty warm for New York City. Started out with some vintage record shopping at Fifth Avenue Record & Tape in Brooklyn where I was subjected to listening to some mildly retarded woman blab about her record collection, […]

I know I lagged on putting these photos up, but here they are nonetheless (vid too!). As expected Roky was absolutely amazing to see perform live, as were The Black Angels. They played so well alongside Roky and complemented the music and style that makes Roky who he is, with ease. The Black Angels’ Alex […]

The rain sure didn’t keep anyone away from etnies Goofy Vs Regular, nor from the killer afterparty with Bad Religion. The free drinks were flowing and so were smiles galore. Definitely good times as always at GvR. Props to Sole Technology! Check out some fun photos here! There’s even one of Brody Jenner from “The […]

Be aware, when you go to Sunset Junction, you’re going to a crazy carnival of fun! No joke … people watching galore. A little to many annoying “hipsters” for me but I sure did have a great time, even though I was deathly tired and felt like a zombie. Good music, good food, good people, […]

The So Co Music Experience in SD was super cool this year, especially since The Black Keys played! I wish we could have gotten there earlier,as I would have loved to have seen Grand Old Party, Kinky and Lady Dottie and The Diamonds, but it was a hell of a busy weekend. Needless to say, […]

The X Games were hot! Literally! Good times, good skating and good friends, but it definitely wasn’t as exciting or fun as the Maloof Money Cup. Click here for some photos of the street skating comp and fun times. Also, check out Chris Nieratko’s EXPN blog on all the skating and stuff that went down […]

Check out Paul Rodriguez’s new steezy boutique, Primitive. Located in Encino, California he hosted a pretty snazzy grand opening party this pas weekend. Besides checkin’ all the limited edition kicks in his new shop, there was also live music, tasty eats and bevies, dj’s, and hot chicks!

Just like Jurassic 5, it was “a day at the races.” Only these were the swanky Del Mar Races in sunny Dan Diego. It was hot and sweaty like a fat plumber’s butt crack but the scenery was a sight to see. From pretty ladies to fucked up outfits, Barnum and Bailey ring masters, and […]
