Photos by Carl Pocket on FlickrPhotos and brief review by L.A. RecordRobyn Hitchcock sang songs about economic and environmental collapse with a unique perspective. His tongue-in-cheek song titles such as “Don’t Talk To Me About Gene Hackman” and “Ole! Tarantula” cleverly juxtaposed with serious subject matter, hooks his songs and message into the subconscious.
Photos and brief review by Grimy GoodsOpener Robyn Hitchcock played an excellent set of clever pop tunes with creative and psychedelic pop melodies, but his oddly bad mix obscured what seemed like great lyrics. His clever stage banter went over with those that could hear, but the back and sides of the house often seemed confused. It’s too bad, as tunes and lyrics I could make out, really impressed me.
