The other night I went on a mini date with this girl at a burger place for milkshakes. She had to meet up with some friends and I was gonna meet some people at a pool party but we had a little to kill so we met up.  Let’s just say it did not go super well… So 20 minutes later I realized that my boys Cerebral Ballzy were playing about five blocks away.  I texted them and they were just setting up.  I booked out of the milkshakery and headed over to an all ages club called “The Smell” that lived up to its name. The club was filled with tons of 15 year old kids, Ballzy, Roofeo from The Death Set and Juiceboxxx who had just finished his set.  It was a pretty weird scene.  The kids moshed and tore shit up while Ballzy crushed them while taking breaks between songs for Honor to try to wake himself up and encourage the teens to commit crimes and get fucked up.  Good times were had. Makes me wish I was fifteen again going to punk shows in church basements in DC.

This makes the second time I have seen the Brooklyn based Ballzy but despite their geographical conviencence I have never seen them in NYC.  I saw them at Skull By Skull Now in Austin last March and now in Downtown LA of all places. Both times I took pretty shitty photos of them. I wonder what that’s all about? Maybe I will have to wait until I get to see them in the 718 to get some good shots of the boys.

In the mean time, click here to see the photos Cerebral Ballzy rock the fuck out of The Smell in LA.

PS. For extra credit, can you find my logo in their video? It shows up twice in the first 6 seconds…

PPS. Yes, you can use the word Milkshakery. It is my gift to you, my fans. Just make sure you credit me.
