Casino Royale in Southern California

One of my favorite bands to see play live is coming down to play in Hollywood. I used to go see Casino Royale in SF all the time. Super fun '60's type stuff. I hate to put it like this, but seeing them is kinda like walking into a Shag painting. The first time that I saw them they were opening for the Tiki Tones and the Ventures.
Here's how they bill themselves:

Casino Royale's Boss Secret Agent-A Go Go Cocktail Party
w/special guests DJ California Kid,
the Go Go Galore Girls, & videos by LiftOff!

The swinging international band of shimmy, Casino Royale, triumphantly marches into Los Angeles this Fall heralding the return of the most colorful, hip, ridiculous and most musical era of pop music.

The Frug, the Watusi, the Monkey, the Twist, the Bugaloo, and the Samba; Hippie Chic and Go Go Fashion such as the miniskirt and boots, velvet suits, flowers and beads; Spy Culture Mystique with daring, dashing men and sexy secret agent babes are all represented in Casino Royale’s action packed performance!

Think Bacharach! Brasil '66! Nancy Sinatra! Peter Sellers! Tom Jones! Our Man Flint!...all refueled for today's jetset!!

Teaming up once again with DJ California Kid, Casino Royale hatches another time-traveling scheme of mischievous mayhem at the Knitting Factory on Sunday, Sept 14 from 4-8pm for a FREE frug fest with their usual cast of mod muckers, eye popping sets, and mini-skirted babes!

As always, full go go or mod regalia encouraged but not required!

If you've never seen them before, Casino Royale really shouldn't be missed. Check 'em out here: http://www.casinoroyalemusic.com

One of their lead singers, Danny, is a friend of mine- and I tell ya, it's all true: They give you a hell of a show.

You will have a good time- guaranteed.

Just ask Gorilla X.

I'd like to go to the show in West Hollywood. Where are they playing tonight?

I just checked, and this is the event tonight. It's a book signing at the Hustler store.
