Photos: The SparowLast night, The Sparow and I hit up the OC Music Awards, hosted at The Grove in Anaheim. We got there just in time to see host, Kat Corbett, hit the stage for the show's kick off: a performance from
The Humanlab
(meh)
Other performances included:
Cory Case
(yawn)
Suburban Legends
(The Sparow really like these guys. Me - not so much)
Japanese Motors
Venus Infers (not pictured)
The Union Line
(KILLED IT!)
Aushua
(another one of my favorites)
And the highlight of all the performances last night, Mickey Avalon (he accepted the award for Best Hip Hop artist with a drink in hand so naturally he hit the stage with one as well)
Mickey Avalon had himself some big booty hos...and DAYUM that blonde has got the junk!
Other highlights from the show included:
A rad little documentary about the Orange County music scene, which was narrated by Jim Washburn and included footage and interviews with: Leo Fender, The Righteous Brothers, The Harmony Park Ballroom, the man who "added Jesus to the end of every sentence" because he was so desperate to play a show, Dennis Lluy and many more. The short piece really made me proud to be from Orange County, so suck it Los Angeles! Ok, just kidding. We cool.
"Corvette Sandy" was sort of dressed like she was ready for the prom or my 15nera. I LOVED IT!

I hear The Shys are fantabulously fantastical, but I have not had the pleasure of seeing them. I wish, however, I could like Mickey Avalon. As it is, he annoys the ever-loving crap out of me. Same goes for Atreyu, who have ruined a perfectly good literary/cinematic name for me for all eternity.
Yup. That's all. Ciao, bella!
you can see The Shys at the Yost Theater in Santa Ana on April 23. www.kuci.org/kucinights.
Nice blog btw!
