High Life Cavaliers, Pu$$y Cow, Madison Bloodbath and Fake Boys at Blue Star

It was off to Blue Star to catch High Life Cavaliers, Pu$$y Cow, Madison Bloodbath and The Fake Boys. Oh yes, five punk bands give it their all.

The night started off with me arriving just in time to catch High Life Cavaliers. I love this band. And I think they started the night that I'll call the Night of the Bassists. Their bassist commands his area. If you get to close to his space, you just might get accidentally jabbed with his bass.

Not only could this be considered the Night of the Bassists, but the Night that brought the Rain. As High Life Cavaliers was coming to an end, the rain started. By the time they were breaking down, it was coming down in a steady stream. What to do? Well, with the help of Blue Star, everything was moved inside the cafe. This resulted in a similar experience you'll have at Silverlake Lounge. A little small, a little narrow, and to get close to the band you'll want to make sure you claim your position. Pu$$y Cow started off the Inside the Cafe night. To start things off, Joe came up to the microphone saying, "This is a mic, it is on." They cut out a couple songs to make sure the night proceeded somewhat on time as it took awhile to get everything moved inside. Bassist Flaco for Pu$$y Cow spent time posing for various photo shots. Unfortunately, none came out good enough to post.

Madison Bloodbath was up next. Here's the interesting note of the night for Madison Bloodbath. Folks kept on trying to feed the lead singer PBRs. At one point, he pointed to an individual, suggesting that the offered beer be given to someone else other than himself. But even then he had plenty of beer and so after each song he'd take a swig before starting the next song.

The touring band The Fake Boys was the final band of the night. Take a look at the last couple photos of the bassist. The guy can stretch.
