The Darkness and Foxy Shazam at the Fillmore tonight, and it’s sold out. You know what that means… Fillmore posters for the stragglers after encore. Oh yeah.

Die Antwoord was in my dream last night, I’m not sure if it was a nightmare or not.

I believe a winner in the race to create a shit-tasting beer has just crossed the finish line.  A beer designed solely for playing beer pong, Pong Beer, has been unleashed to the world.
 
Pong Beer comes in 30-packs with two ping pong balls. If you buy two packs of Pong Beer you get some red cups and a couple extra balls.
 
I love good ole American water beer but it’s going to be a desperate situation when you catch me checking out a 30-pack of Pong Beer.

California’s original party band is back! After a 25 year separation,  David Lee Roth has finally rejoined the band that blew so many minds for so many years. And I am proud to say I have two tickets (2) for one (1) lucky reader to go enjoy a show on their just announced tour.
 
Tweet (@eddiedaroza) or email (theradreport@gmail.com) me your favorite Rothism. Real VH fans know what I’m talkin’ about! TRR staff will have some beers and pick our favorite. Have fun at the show!

Thanks.

Christoper Owens basically broke down in tears as he led a crowd in a tribute to Whitney Houston. The Girls frontman sang a stripped down version of I Will Always Love You, the song written by Dolly Parton and made famous by Houston.

And some douche in the crowd keeps chiming in.

If I could send a text message to my 12-year-old-self I would say “you’re never goin’ to believe it… Axl Rose is the only guy left in GNR, and he’s 50!”
 
Yes believe it or not Axl Rose just turned 50 years old. He’s one of my favorite rock stars of all-time and Appetite was the first CD I ever bought. Axl has many, many fans who love him very much as they took out a full page ad in the LA Weekly to wish him happy birthday. Check it out here.

In a rare perfect storm of circumstances, the NBC censor guy was asleep at the wheel while M.I.A. went rogue and flipped off America during the Super Bowl.

Noise Pop 2012 is upon us. If you’re not familiar it’s pretty much the West Coast’s CMJ. Benders, Slim’s, Bottom of the Hill, and every other venue in the city is packed for a week with beer guzzling fans and performers. In other words, it’s fun. This year Noise Pop runs from Feb. 21 – 26. Here’s my Top 5 go-to shows.

It’s easy to be a perfect person behind a screen name and a website. A reader writes in to ask Daisy De La Hoya if she should meet up with a guy she met online. Will he be Mister Perfect, or a faker from a false world?
