RISIN’ UP, STRAIGHT TO THE TOP.

Big thanks to the oh-so-nice boys of Pelican for making it out to our Hawthorne location yesterday to shower our ears with an hour-long, all vinyl DJ set. Echoing our sentiments exactly, one of our regulars asked, “A metal band doing a DJ set? What will they even play?!” Well, we soon discovered that though these dudes may regularly crank it all heavy-like through their amps, their musical prowess extends far beyond their own genre. Their set ranged from Phil Ochs to Black Flag to Stevie Wonder to Motley Crue, and included choice cuts like “Eye of the Tiger.”

In short, AWESOME.

In the event you thought these guys were too serious for fun, be it told that they are NOT. Laurent busted out the robot on more than one occasion, and Trevor kept the energy high by dancing around the store as he dug through the racks.

No matter what was playing, it was LOUD. Just the way we like it.

Thanks for spicing up a rainy Sunday, dudes.
