Vincent Gallo & Snoop Dogg

Peter writes in:

You should mention something about the Vincent Gallo show at Hiro Ballroom last night.
25 dollars: the worst show I have EVER seen in my life.
Him and two out-of-work male models hunched over (Gallo's) expensive vintage equipment and noodled for an hour. I seriously do not think anyone in the band actually knows how to play an instrument. Gallo had his back towards the audience the whole time and ended the show with a mumbled 'thanks' and they took off backstage. I thought it was a pathetic attempt at an encore, and then the house lights came up.

"This will be the second tour by RRIICCEE, following a completely sold out tour of North America in December 2007. These shows will mark the debut of the new lineup of Vincent Gallo with Nikolai and Simon Haas."

Devendra Banhart met Vincent Gallo. I would like to see the pictures if there are any. Also,

Well, I (Devendra) have a band -- it's me and the drummer from Priestbird, Greg Rogove. What started off as a joke -- "Let's start a band and let's make up song titles" -- to our surprise and shock, we started writing songs, and we've written eight songs that I'm really really proud of and excited about. We're gonna record a real record, and we're called Megapuss. Also, I've always wanted to do something like a small traveling festival with, like, three known bands and some people that maybe haven't put out a record yet and also involve organizations like NARF ... I think that would be awesome.

AND, RELATED REMINDER: Jonanna Newsom is playing BAM. Public ticket sale begins Jan 2.

You can buy tickets for the Rriiccee show at the Green Room on December 7th. Rriiccee's four members (pictured above) are Vincent Gallo, Rebecca Casabian, Nikolas Haas, and Eric Erlandson from Hole.

Speaking of Hole, have you been keeping with Courtney Love's blog? If not, you're missing out on stuff like,

Mixed in surround sound by legendary surround mixing engineer Elliot Scheiner, this DVD allows fans to experience this performance like never before, completely unedited including the two songs not originally broadcasted ("Something In The Way" and "Oh Me" ), and with the best sound ever available (to anyone not in the studio for the original taping.) For the purists, also included on this DVD is the original 44 min broadcast version of the show, plus never-before-seen REHEARSAL performances. As an extra bonus to the DVD, a 14-minute interview segment called Bare Witness produced by MTV focuses on the recollections of those who experienced this magical moment in music history, those who produced it and interviews with the band from the day of the taping.

Kurt Cobain was funny. Foo Fighters are playing some shows.

I'm not sure I really like Vincent Gallo all that much. Eric Erlandson was in Hole. They formed a band. It's sort of interesting?....

"RRIICCEE is a spontaneous collective between the two musicians (with the potential of additional members) and exhibits the creation of composition within a live performance. For all appearances, the outfit does not perform pre-written music and is not limited to the boundaries of one specific musical genre. At the present time, RRIICCEE has no recorded music and has no plans on recording a commercial release."
