Punk rock Vandals for Xmas? (12/21)

They won't actually vandalize things, will they?

It is strange how some days on the calendar have too much going on. We have to parties to choose from when we were expecting to enjoy the annual punk rock festivities at the Disneyland House of Blues. California life is tough. Not all SoCal punk bands held up, but the Vandals sure have. Their line of classic singalong songs are a strange juxtaposition to all the capitalist holiday fluff and fanfare. Outside the club, in Disney Town, there's endless shopping, eating, and baby-raising; meanwhile, inside, there will be a festive pit, moshing, jumping around, yelling and screaming the lyrics, and see what insane thing the bassist gets up to. Our personal favorite Vandals' song is "Urban Struggle" (aka "I Want to Be a Cowboy"). It's like, what's the use of Halloween if one can't let loose? Kwanchannukkmas is worse, tinsel for the masses, so this is a fun annual event to consider: The Vandals 29th Annual Christmas Formal | House of Blues Anaheim, OC

Dad rock: Limp Bizkit covers Ludacris' "M*ve B*tch," "Smells Like

Teen Spirit" live in the Netherlands where Fred Durst is persona grata

ALTERNATIVES: Of course, there's a yoga studio event for the Winter Solstice and Portal Dance in LA and a vegan potluck in the Valley and our big end-of-year yoga vegan potluck kirtan celebration. See Dharma Buddhist Meditation for details on other things to do.
