Steve Alba on Complete Control

It was a fun night. After the show we rolled over to the opening night at Safari Sams on Sunset in Hollywood. Many of you old OC boys and HB’ers remember Safari Sams off Main street. Well it is the same Sam with this club.

Last night Salba was a guest on Joe Sib’s Complete Control radio show many of you probably listened live via the web.

It was pretty cool that Joe had the sound engineer do a run down of the last 4 songs he played in spanish

Salba had so many good stories and the show could have gone on for a few hours past 10pm. The story of when Salba and his boys drove this car through the wall at a Punk show in the 80’s that we were at that was at The Hideaway when Mad Society was playing…that was a hallarious night…forgot about the part of that story where he told of the guy swinging the sword around…funny stuff.

Joe was getting some signed swag for him to hang up at the Side One Dummy office

It was a fun night. After the show we rolled over to the opening night at Safari Sams on Sunset in Hollywood. Many of you old OC boys and HB’ers remember Safari Sams off Main street. Well it is the same Sam with this club. The place is cool…huge bar, floor, upstairs tables and viewing and side stage tables/viewing area. Last night Tex and The Horseheads played and the place had a cool vibe. They have a grip of cool shows coming up there, so be on the lookout for their listings.
