Locked down at the Coolgrrrls Party in L.A., Jan. 2002
Goin' Back to Cali, Jan. 2002
It was cold and dreary in NYC, so we packed our bags and headed to L.A.--one
of our favorite places to play. Frank from Coolgrrrls invited us to play a
Grrrls Nite Out Party at Goldfinger's and although the stage was so small we
almost fell off and Princess blew up El Centro's amp, we still had a
fabulous time and got to hang out with some old and new friends: our kind
hosts Kiyoshi and Josh, Princess's ex Johnny Reno and his new squeeze Julie
Boo Boo, superstar hottie G.W. from the totally dope L.A. band 1976, Sivan's
best girl Amber, Hallie's special boy Amo, Ren's friends and family, and all
the L.A. Coolgrrrls! Other highlights from our trip include playing with
The Angoras at The Garage and with Captured by Robots at Spaceland. We
wished we could have stayed longer, but we know we'll be back soon...
