From Troy Johnson - He's Leaving CityBeat

From Sam....
Gawd!! I hope the walls don’t cave in on us THIS SUNDAY, Strangers!!
Sunday, May 13 will be the loudest Stay Strange yet!! Frank Melendez and Riververb! Also on the bill is the equally loud Actuary from Los Angeles. Plus a rare performance by artist Gerritt Wittmer.
SUNDAY, MAY 13-
RIVERVERB/ACTUARY/GERRITT WITTMER
THE KAVA GALLERY - 2804 KETTNER BLVD - 7PM - $5.00 - ALL AGES SHOW!
Riververb is always in a constant change, and I hear that the latest incarnation is the best so far! Judge for yourself! it’s some heavy stuff! Face morphing grinder sludge. Last time Riververb played, no slayed, the smoke turned black from monolithic chunks of acid-noise.
Actuary shake the shit loose! Los Angeles breeds some sick stuff and this by no means drops the ball. Not only are this tunes in your face, it’s in your skull too! Mean ass nitro venom. Gory!!
Gerritt Wittmer is an artist in the darkest sense possible. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing at this month’s Stay Strange, but if it’s anything like his performance at LUFF, it’s going to be scary!!!

From Troy Johnson - He's Leaving CityBeat

Hey friends, enemies, bands, random people in my address book...

Sorry for the mass email, but the impersonal mechanism is perfectly suited for this sort of thing.

After five years and a bunch of minutes, I'm leaving CityBeat.
Effective Oct. 29, I'll be the Senior Editor of RIVIERA magazine here in San Diego. I'll be handling the magazine's food/drink/art/culture.

Also, in an act of shameless mass-email self-promotion, my book is due out in June 2008: http://www.arcadepub.com/author/?fa=ShowAuthor&Person_ID=429
