If you'll think back a little bit, you'll remember that a couple of months ago, HSB's photographer Akmal Naim and I went on a school bus for one of the more unusual shows we had ever been on, for Mr. Free And The Satellite Freakout. The band travels around on their modified school bus, playing shows wherever they want to whoever wants to hop onto the bus with them. The good news is, for those of you who saw the pictures and wanted to participate but were a little late - they're back! They'll be playing two shows this week, tomorrow night (Wednesday) and Thursday night (May 14th and 15th), where they will be parking their bus under the Sunest Bridge right outside the entrance to the Echoplex. Come on by and rock out.
Thursday's starts at 10:30 PM, and I'm not sure about Wednesday. If you have to pick between the two though, try and come Thursday, because opening for Mr. Free will be Tweak Bird, one of the most badass and hard-rocking LA bands out there right now. They opened for The Black Ghosts at the El Rey show in December last year and almost stole the show, so the thought of seeing them in an environment as small as a school bus makes my eardrums scared and my mind happy. I don't know how two people can make that much noise, but they do it and they do it well.
Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout - Gimmee All Your Money
Tweak Bird - Whorses
