Merry Christmas from Los Bandigolos!

No updates in a while… so sorry ’bout that.  Been busy traveling, drinking, and eating non-stop for the past 8 days.  Back in L.A. this weekend.  We have some catching up to do.  In the meantime, enjoy your family time and try not to get so drunk you tell your mother-in-law that you hate her.

UPDATE————
Finally!

LB live music review

I had the opportunity to check out a couple live shows recently and figured I’d share the experiences.  It’s awfully late in the season, so I don’t expect many more opportunities to see good music until the Spring.  But L.A. is so random I guess you never know what you’re going get.
