The wife has family in Vegas and we have been to visit them, they have a limousine business. No disrespect to the city you live in, but I found it depressing, watching people gamble away their lively hoods, watching them come out of the casinos all depressed and forlorn.
I know there is more to Vegas and if your sensible it can be a fun place to live, being a former gambler I found it hard to see.

As for Viva Las Vegas it is run by Tom Ingram, who is from down here in Sussex started dj on the rockabilly scene around the early 80s he then started to help with Hemsby Rockabilly weekender and the Psychobilly weekenders in Hemsby too. He then started and still runs Viva and although they have good bands, not something I would consider as I know folks and bands who have gone from the UK and it is totally different to the UK scene, they pose way more, and there are so many different tribes within the scene, who go for different reasons Hot Rods dudes, Burlesque girls, Cats who just want to pose, Gangs of Mexican Rockabillys occasionally rumble and then there are the Brits and other Europeans who just get smashed ! I hear getting in for somethings is dreadful and can be so busy.

If you go, let me know what it is like anyway, I would be interested to hear your perspective.

Err…after that stellar review I think I’ll give it a miss and carry on camping out with the pot heads at the bluegrass festival down the road in Flagstaff.

I even have to consider my relationship with my adopted home town, maybe I’ll buy myself an Amish farm in Missouri and get out of this mess.

Going to find me a bottle of whiskey and listen to some sad songs. Thank you…

Ezra Furman has terrific musical taste as well. She has sat in for Marc Riley on 6 music a few times. Upbeat and eclectic - it' good stuff. Hope the gig works out

I first came across them on 6 music one Sunday. Think they were covering Guy Garvey. Their book about Transformer is a good read too.
