    The frenetic spinning six piece psychedelic fireball that is The Atomic Sherpas hits Harvelle's in Santa Monica for the first time. Hazmat teas and psychic counseling hotlines have been alerted. Sign the appropriate wavers, take your "medicine" and come on down to have your naked singularity joined with the Jungian collective consciousness through booty undulation therapy and that time-honored standby, sweet sweet booze. We go on at 11pm.

    Throw back the Singapore Slings and Canadian Black Label talls until your gait is as rotational as it is forward headed, and slur your words as you shout pump fisted encouraging blather at your equally addled but all through intrinsic addlement Atomic Sherpas at the west side's noir oasis.

    The Atomic Sherpas, assisted by a coterie of deranged pirate leprechauns, transmogrify into The Atomic Shamrocks to rain funkified blue-bop unto the unabashedly wriggling crowd of fondue-pot chuggin' revelers at The Hip Kitty on this hallowed boozers holiday. Let every mouth guzzle golden usquebaugh, aka aqua vitae aka the good stuff and every booty shake.

    So, the dazzle of the holidays is wearing off... by the morning after you'll be chopping up the remains of that emergency eight-ball with a different starbucks gift card each hour and cracking the corners of the grand marnier - anything... anything to get you through. Well - don't bother with the confucian shower ritual - just douse yourself with that bottle of chanel no. 5 you shoplifted while the clerks were resuscitating those trampled when they announced half off on the ceramic nativity scenes or roll around in the brut/old spice scent cocktail soaking your avocado shag carpet in the ironic hedonistic celebratory aftermath and head down to Taix for a dual dose of soul saturation as The Mecolodiacs and The Atomic Sherpas put the punk jazz psychedelic double whammy on ya'. Quit chuggin' that gift bottle a bailey's knock off from walmart you got from your aunt and throw down at a real watering hole for some top flight boozerino. Get the hell up outta them plush chairs and booths, jump up on the table, burn the santa hat and prepare for a thousand new millennia of Dionysian splendor under the approving and helpful guidance of your shamn tag-team The Meco's n' your hometown A-Sherps.

    Roll out the barrel. No - roll out the barrels. Hijack the barrel truck, knock out the stoppers and guzzle, quaff and chugalug your way into the deep golden celebratory insensate satori necessary for the fullblown fusillade of wonder masquerading as whimsy that is your hometown dervish groove carnival The Atomic Sherpas. For this night we got Dan Potruch in the drum chair, so, as (Greg Lake produced and ELP's label released... go figure) Texas boogie band Stray Dog put it: "Fasten yo' seeeeeeeeeeeeeat beltsssssssssssss!!!" Xmas is upon us fast: Dance like Nureyev on crushed up cross tops, DRINK LIKE TANTALUS UNBOUND! Turn that beautiful multicolored display behind the bar into empty husks of proud translucency. Ay güey!
