The Gories, Ty Segall & Mikal Cronin, Cheater Slicks, Zig Zags @ the Echoplex.
Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds, 100 Flowers, Wounded Lion, CFM @ the Echo. Echo Park, $28.50 gets you in to both upstairs and downstairs venues.

On Night 1 folks will be running up and down the stairs between the two stages not only to catch well-liked local bands such as Zig Zags, 100 Flowers (previously known as the Urinals), and Wounded Lion…but also to be treated to special appearances from late 80’s primitive Detroit garage rock trio The Gories (members later went on to play in such bands as the Dirtbombs, Demolition Doll Rods, and 68 Comeback), Kid Congo (he of the Gun Club, Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fame), Cheater Slicks (whose music has been described as abstract, intrusive, and confrontational) plus Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin performing their 2009 album Reverse Shark Attack in it’s entirety.
