Cobra Lilies this Wednesday at the Echo
Cobra Lilies has always been a one-show-a-month proposition, and I am pleased to say that this month's show is nearly upon us. The Lilies will play this Wednesday at the Echo with Pizza!, Findlay Brown, and Superhumanoids. We go on 2nd (at 10pm). LA Underground is presenting and I am pleased to say we have special antics for you if you come, plus edible treats. Trust us. You will like.

Dream
I am in a park in Louisiana when I see a large hawk/eagle (although in the dream it's identified as "a falcon") flying around in the sky, being attacked by a swarm of large fuzzy green wasps. The wasps eat off all of the falcon's feathers and it falls to the ground in a puddle. It looks dead. A small kid runs it over with his bike with training wheels. After picking up the falcon and squeezing the water out of it (like working an old-fashioned pump handle, which would have been, what? Its leg?) it turns out not to be dead after all, so I take it home.
The falcon likes to hang out in my basement (I do not have a basement outside of my dream) and watch television while its feathers grow back. Once its feathers do grow back, it turns out to be more of a bald eagle, except with the head of a dog, rather than a bird. So, a black-and-white dog-headed eagle-falcon.
Later I catch it going through the neighbor's trash cans. I tell it that it has to take a bath in the kitchen sink, and it says "Aw MAN!"
End of dream.
YOUR TASK: Illustrations please.

This Saturday with 8-Bit!
Although we try hard to stick to our one-show-a-month regimen, here is one we could not possibly say no to--we play a show this very Saturday with our glorious Mr. T's bretheren 8-Bit! As you may know, 8-Bit shows are as rare as hens' teeth these days, and Andy/Anti-Log was once a Monolator himself, so we are honored and grateful that they asked us to play too. The only thing that would be better about this show would be if it were actually at Mr. T's Bowl itself, which it isn't--it's at Señor Fish in Little Tokyo. I didn't actually know they had shows at Señor Fish, but there you are. Odd Modern and Rough Kids playing too!
We play at 10 pm--it's 8 bucks if you arrive before 11 pm, which I hope will be the case, otherwise you won't see us play.
Facebook event linky.

Oh my!
I just saw this, although it was posted weeks ago--the very kind and dapper Brad Roberts of
Feed Your Head and
Radio Free Silverlake named the monolators as his
band of the year for 2009. I feel awful because I just saw Brad last night at the Idaho Falls record release show and didn't thank him--so I'm thanking him now! Brad's been very kind to us and we're very, very grateful to him for this honor.
My goal for 2010: Marsupial of the Year! We can totally take the numbat.

The best thing I've seen so far this decade
Speaking of ABBA...Thanks to Doug of
Birth! for finding this.
