How many times have I said, "I don't make this stuff up"?I got this off SOMEBODY'S website, but apparently the gig got cancelled and I was the last to know!
So here's a correction notice, complete with new photo and paragraph to back it up!
Just know that VIN FIZ FLYER IS NOT PLAYING AT BEAN TOWN ON FRI. 5/30.
thank you very much. but it was a nice photo wasn't it?

MUSIC NEWS – RAGS & WRECKTANGLES
By Sierra Madre Sue Behrens
Most recently, you may have seen this man wielding a saxophone as part of Aluminum Marshmallow’s "Age of Aquarius" horn section at various events in Sierra Madre. Prior to that, he was the lead guitarist and/or bass player (but not necessarily at the same time) for Snotty Scotty & the Hankies. Somewhere in between he managed to fit in(to) the WRECKTANGLES, who are making their long-awaited return this Friday night in Highland Park (details below.) I couldn’t find the trademark Doo Dah Parade photo I was looking for that reveals his unmistakable identity – covered from head to toe in rags, he is: RAGHEAD! __________________________________________________________________________________________ FRI. 5/30 - DAVE OSTI AND DEANNA COGAN @ THE MAYAN BAR (inside the Aztec Hotel) in MONROVIA, 6 - 9pm Happy Hour. 311 W.
