"Sorry, We Had To Lose The Stool For That One," were the last words out of Paul of the Harbortown Saints that I heard as I departed Alex's last night. The Harbortown Saints were on fire and are more amazing than ever. Hello SoCal, wake up! Best new band playing around in Long Beach.

Billy Burke has departed as guitarist for the Harbortown Saints and Roger Ramjet (formerly of the Humpers, the ADZ, and the Smut Peddlers) has come on board. With Billy departed the band's laconic blues punk style and with Roger the band has amped up to a ripping, searing jump blues punk. Hot diggity.

And Roger, sometime recently, probably coinciding with his marriage, has gotten smokin' hott. Yes, no longer the kinda cute, but really scary guitarist for the Peddlers, Mr. Ramjet has taken to marriage like a duck to water and is lookin' good. Good on Mrs. Ramjet for taking a diamond in the rough and giving it a good polish.... ;o)

The best outfit of the night goes to Max, of the Habortown Saints and Vooduo. Max was wearing a fabulous Teddy Boy suit coat with a red button up shirt, a string bowtie, black jeans, black electrician boots, and a porkpie hat. Now there is an ensemble! Max said that only one company is making Teddy Boy suit coats anymore and that he has 3 of them. Go Max Go! Please single handedly bring back good, adventurous male fashion.

Even better on the Harbortown Saints for the great music last night. Ok, gentlemen, when are you releasing a full album / CD? Inquiring listening ears want to know.
