Brett & I drove out to Pomona and watched 45 Grave and the Damned. This is the second 45 Grave show I have seen this year & it was awesome. The Damned is a band that I have never seen before–and I never thought I would see…they were amazing!
Brett & I got there early and cruised the venue–the balcony has an amazing view.
The Flamethrowers, the opening band was fantastic–classic punk.
45 Grave may be my band of the year–they were amazing! AGAIN!
Dianah is looking and moving great
The Damned show was amazing–british punkers are amazing–they seem to age a lot better then their american counterparts
Captain Sensible remains a total icon–funny, clever, rocking.
But their keyboardist also really stood out–the man is a comical dancing crazy person…with totally amazing hair!
I love the 80’s dark moody Damned, more then the more popular early stuff–and was rewarded at this show.
Several times they opened up that 80’s Goth circle and invited us in–really great playing from start to finish.
The cover of Love was also a real treat, I did not realize that they played this song.
