This Sunday, January 15, 2012: The Bloody Brains Return To The Messaround!

THE MESSAROUND CELEBRATES JONNY WHITESIDE'S BIRTHDAY WITH TABOO FLOUTING POP ALCHEMIST TROY WALKER, PUNK-BIG BEAT BERSERKERS BLOODY BRAINS, ICY HOT JASS DUO CARLOS & JEFFREY, ROCKABILLY LOTHARIO BRIAN HOGAN & THE INCOMPARABLE DICK DELUXE!

And now, Jonny Whiteside describes this upcoming event.

"This Schizophonic Fest of Raunchy Razzle-Dazzle and Unhinged Musical Ruckus Will Have You Rocking, Reeling & Hanging From the Ceiling!

Messaround tyrant Jonny Whiteside drives another nail in his coffin with the glorious return of TROY WALKER, that gender-defying paragon of vocal pyrotechnics, eye-popping wardrobe, outrageous ribaldry and unrivaled artistry. 73-year old Walker has been flipping wigs since he first hit the Sunset Strip some five decades ago (fans at his fabled 60's Crescendo Club-Gazzari's engagements ranged from Elvis Presley to Ethel Merman; Phil Spector used to send in goons with portable reel-to-tape machines to steal Troy's arrangements!) and Walker's 2010 return to the bandstand after a decade of inactivity (at, where else but the Messaround?) found the mad little bugger in as much mind-bending form and poisonously pristine condition as ever. Troy is our Leader!

Certifiably among the raging-est, rocking-est bands in all of Los Angeles, the BLOODY BRAINS never fail to bring the house down. With a hot, taut brand of head-on punk mayhem, garage trash and high psych drama, the foursome of Rev Dan, Fritz Freidenberg, Keith Lubow and Hermann Senac display both merciless glee and stunning musicality which rates as a nothing less than a gloriously lethal rock & roll combination. This One'll Kill ya!

The Messaround swerves off on a wild dog-leg with the superb trad-jazz, viper-jump. deep-jive thrills of CARLOS & JEFFREY, they of Chumbuckets-Sydewinders infamy. These crazy young cats have such stunning feel, depth, natural-fact talent and good-timing cool that when they dig into a number the results are invariably transcendent. Crash into a 5th Dimension of Profound Hokum!

Swashbuckling rock & roller BRIAN HOGAN brings scads of streamlined, steam-heated old school ka-pow. Aggressively entertaining and smolderingly intense, the well-quiffed heartbreaker delivers a knock-out mixture of frosty hep and masculine musicality that invariably dislocates feminine reserve like a Fukushima meltdown. Down, Boy, Down!!

With an opening barrage of beatific, soul-scouring sounds courtesy of our Messaround Tabernacle Choir, with the incomparable honky-tonk blues prophet DICK DELUXE, bass-man supreme PAUL MARSHALL and trance-traps paragon DAVID RAVEN, plus the inevitable special guests, it's another sure-fire orgy of sonic-psychosexual malfeasance the likes of which most citizens only dream about. At the Messaround, We Live It!!!"
