Another Legend Dies

Lux Interior Dies from a pre-existing heart condition, In Glendale, Feb. 4. Another Rock N Roll great passes away. Responsible to classic punk rock songs like, Human Fly, and Garbageman. Covering awesome 60's garage songs like Green Fuzz. The lead died at age 62. And am really bummed. Just last month, I went to The Rose Bowl Flea Market. And was chatting it up with one of the record vendors. He was mentioning that Luxe was just there last month. Buying some records from him. Bummed I didnt get a chance to meet the guy. He's in a better place now. R.I.P.

A Belated Farewell

Because I havent done a proper tribute, to Ron Asheton. I will do so now and tomorrow @ Bar 107.  Ron & The Stooges revolutionized Rock N Roll. And were partly responsible for sparking the punk scene of the 70's. Ron died of heart complications, last month in January. Leaving us sad and wondering how the remaining Stooges, will recover. The Stooges recently got back together after an almost 40 year gap. I was fortunate enough to see them headline @ the All Tomorrows Parties in Long Beach, back in early 2000's. It was glorious to see them together, and to this day, one of the most epic shows. I have ever been too. Tomorrow @ my night @ Bar 107, in Downtown L.A.. I will play a small set of bands who were influenced by them, they were influenced by, and of course. Their very own Stooges classics. (R.I.P. Mr. Ron Asheton)

THE ROGURR PRESENT

DOWNTOWN L.A. GOES ROCK N ROLL. MYSELF ALONG WITH SPECIAL GUES DJ'S WILL BE PLAYING THE RAWEST ROCK FAVS OF ALL TIME. AN EPIC NIGHT NOT TO BE MISSED.

SO F*CKIN' PSYCHED!!

For those of you who don't know. Johnny Burnette is one of the sickest Rockabilly artist to come out of the 50's. On and off through out the years, I've been looking for a Johnny Burnette record. Searching high and low. But never any luck. I even tried Ebay and came across a few of his records. But never bidded on them, because the bidding would start or end at $200-$300. This past weekend or so. I decided to check out The Rose Bowl Flea Market. I was a new comer and amazed at the endlessness of it all. Walking around searching for hats, among other things. I came across a gentleman. Who had a few crates of records with him. I started digging through them, found Rolling Stones' 'Flowers'. Picked it up and kept digging. Found Stray Cats' 'Built for Speed', picked that up. In the middle of many others, I see this one record that for some reason stood out more than the others. And wouldnt you know it. A SEALED Johnny Burnette and The Rock N Roll Trio. SEALED. I freaked out for a mili-second. And held it together. I asked the nice guy how much he wanted for the record and responded 'That crate of records are for $1 each.'......Held it together. Kept looking, payed the guy, rushed home and drooled over them. I am still amazed to this day and refuse to play them. As I want to preserve their condition. I am so psyched. I also found Bill Haleys 'Rock Around The Clock' in the same conditions. I love flea markets.
