David Liebe Hart Band!

An outsider musician, street performer, sign painter, puppeteer, David Liebe Hart is known from stints on Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show, LA’s Public Access Channel, and shows like Jimmy Kimmel and John Stewart–but, that’s not the cool part.  The cool part is he has an awesome punk band and you should come and see him on Wednesday September 19th! His songs hit the full spectrum in terms of genre…some are blistering fast jammers, some are slow acoustic ballads, and the rest are everything in between. The only constant is his large voice and the fact that each song is extremely bizarre. Also playing are powerviolencers Hitmantis and Danzig punks Failing Plan B. It’s going to be a great one! Wednesday, September 19 at 7:30PM. $7.
