The Mulhollands, Suddyn, Barb Wire Dolls and Prima Donna at Sunset Room

It was off to the Sunset Room (Club Romper Stomper) to catch The Mulhollands, Suddyn, Barb Wire Dolls and Prima Donna.

The night started out with catching most of Suddyn's set -- maybe missed a song. They power rocked their way through their set. They hail from Ireland, but currently reside in Los Angeles. The Mulhollands hit the stage next. Sometimes I key in on certain things. For The Mulhollands, I swear that Sarah Jeanette's microphone stand now has a slight bent to it. After dragging it across multiple stages, it is slowly curving. There were two Jeffs on stage. The Mulhollands' Jeff and the ex-Automatic Music Explosion Jeff. Barb Wire Dolls went up next and as the title hints, the lead singer exudes sexuality. They hail from Greece, but like Suddyn, currently reside in SoCal. They actually made a comment regarding Greece, saying how thankful they were to be in the States playing music versus having to protest in the streets. A nice little economic commit that perhaps went over the heads of many who were probably thinking, "Oh, I thought she said she's from Greece, I guess she's from Egypt." Prima Donna was the headliner for the night. As they were setting up, I again focused in a microphone stand. The lead singer appeared to be doing some stretching exercises with his microphone stand -- making sure he was loosened up properly. And then right before their set, there was a marriage proposal. This I believe is a first for me, seeing a marriage proposal at a local music venue. The crowd was pumped up, especially one guy who jumped up on stage, grabbed a microphone and started to sing along with the band. He eventually sprawled out on the stage. The sound guy looked for security, but upon not seeing any he went up on stage and started to drag the fan off. Finally a security guy showed up and there was a discussion that hinted that the fan was getting tossed, but the fan begged for mercy. Mercy was given -- a nice move by security, props there.

Anyways, as I was leaving for the night, I was looking around to say good-bye to some friends. I made my way into this area behind the Sunset Room. I ended up in the middle of a hip hop party. Interesting double use of the space.
