San Diego Shows – Friday, Feb. 27
PLAN A: Shat, Homeless Sexuals, Jesus Christ vs. The World, Heavy Cessna @ Radio Room. How big an asshole do you have to be to write songs like “Vagetarian,” “Crabs” and “Cunt Flavored Lollipops”? Ask Shat’s Jeff Wood, whose sole purpose is to offend every single person in the room. PLAN B: Underground Railroad to Candyland, Shang-A-Lang @ Bar Pink. I’d imagine an underground railroad to Candyland has tracks made of toffee, cars made of milk chocolate and train conductors dressed like Willy Wonka, but Underground Railroad to Candyland look like they just stepped off a photo from Green Day’s liner notes circa 1992. BACKUP PLAN: Swim Party @ Whistle Stop.
Sure, Shat is only hilarious in that fifth grade “turn-everything-into-a-dick-joke” way, but if you’re too “mature” to laugh at this, you’re a bigger asshole than he is. The guy wears an entire outfit adorned with dildos during live performances. Now that’s commitment.
