Plutocracy and Bastard Noise at The Blvd. ~ Boyle Heights

1:37 PM PDT on July 21, 2010

Had the pleasure of seeing Plutocracy in LA for the first time since the 90's...  back when I was living in the Bay Area and going to shows in teen centers and various all ages venues.  If you are a fan of NO LE$$, Kalmex and the Riffmerchants, ETO, Spazz, Agents of Satan then you know what I'm talking about.  Their set was fast and intense in a crowded space fogged with blood, sweat and flying fists.  Bastard Noise of course put on a great display of power and noise.  Definitely the loudest band I've seen in a while.  If you haven't been to The Blvd Cafe on 2631 Whittier you are missing out.  Be sure you get there early, the set times are all off.  I missed Lack of Interest but I was able to snap a photo of the Legend himself:

At 83 he's still grinding.   No one can ever tell me they're too old for this shit.  See you at the next show.
