Blue King Brown @ The Key Club

It appears that I'm not blogging in chronological order because I saw Blue King Brown before I saw Anjulie, but like I said, I needed to spread the word about Anjulie because that shit was popping. But yeah, I went to the Key Club, another spot on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. On the way over there, driving the dope ass Honda Civic Hybrid (get green) with the O.G. gangsta Utah license plates, I saw what appeared to be either some type of spectacular light show vis-a-vis the 4th of July grand finale, or maybe some type of tripped out techno club that exploded with douchebags. But it turned out to be some celebrity because they were literally being molested by about 7 cameramen all flashing the shit outta him (or her) with a barrage of pictures. Now I understand why celebrities go off on these TMZ paparazzis; shit was blinding me, and I was at LEAST 200 feet away... in my whip, with the windows up... tinted, bitches. I'm gonna go with Miley Cyrus, but who knows.

So I get to the Key Club, and smoothly pull out my balling-ass Maine ID, and quickly got denied. Dude was nice though, and let me in without taking it. Although he fashioned me with two giant X's on each hand further rubbing in the fact that I only have a month til I'm 21, which happens to be the exact date I leave LA. Things just work out so perfectly sometimes don't they. I then meet my co-worker in there, and Blue King Brown is already playing.
They are a "Blues/Roots/Reggae/Hip-Hop/R&B" or somewhere along those lines, who are from Australia. I thought they were good. Especially the lead singer, Natalie Pa'apa'a, who's stage presence was definitely strong. The guitarist was also really talented, going off on a couple solos. They did a couple Fugees covers which was of course real. Natalie also had a some pretty inspiring speeches in between songs, speaking about global awareness, and more over the importance of unity in a changing world. She also indirectly shouted out the protesters in Iran, for standing up against injustice. Thought what she said was real. They definitely rocked the crowd too, half of whom were extremely smacked, judging from the marijuana aroma in the joint (see what I did there?). I thought they were very talented, but my supervisor apparently didn't see potential marketing ability, soo she bounced. Just goes to show you how tough it is to get a deal in this industry, even if you are talented... more on this topic later.
