RENDEZVOUS! is tonight! (Wednesday, April 7)

Lent is over, spring break is here, and it's time for you to return to your heathen ways. Let's drink & watch movies that were banned by the Vatican! On Wednesday, April 7th, we will be screening "All'onorevole Piacciono Le Donne" (Italy, 1972) & "I Am Curious" (Sweden, 1968). I will also be handing out copies of my latest mix CD, "Sound Library Mix, Vol. 2." It comes in a snazzy paste on mini LP sleeve and is mastered by Smokratz himself!

Your resident DJs will be providing the soundtrack for the evening, and will include all your favorite psych, library, soundtracks, ethnic fuzz, and even a little live space echo!

New Mix Release Date...

I am pleased to announce a new collection of music for your discerning ears. This mix includes music by Umiliani, Alessandroni, Piccioni, Morricone, Whitefield Bros., Astatke, Massiera, and many other soundtrack & sound library luminaries. I am also very honored to have had the one and only Count Von Smokratz (C.V.S.) master this for me! The sound is simply astounding, I'm sure you will agree. Copies of this new mix will be distributed at the next RENDEZVOUS! at Verdugo Bar on Wednesday, April 7th. It will also soon be available here for download.
