There was a party on a school bus Monday night in Echo Park. Yeah, you fucking missed it and will be kicking yourself for weeks. Mr. Free & The Satellite Freakout rolled their carnival-on-wheels into Los Angeles from Tuscon earlier this week with the hopes bringing their extravaganza to the masses and perhaps conceiving a few illegitimate children. Last night I left my house around 10 o’clock and walked down to their graffiti covered rock shrine which was parked next to Echo Park Lake. Once inside the bus, partygoers discovered what can only be described as a 6th grader’s fantasy: the bus had been converted to a venue on wheels. All the seats had been ripped out and a stage set up in the back. The front half of the bus had been carpeted, which definitely came in handy later on. Just after 11 pm the band launched into their set of insane rock n roll with gregarious front man Mr. Free leading the charge. A small contingency of fans, people in the know and people just passing by crammed into the bus to witness the spectacle. Mr. Free stripped down to a pair of ruffled pink panties, pink fishnets and combat boots. The crowd danced wildly using the low roof for support. Mr Free groped men and women and gave it all in the name of rock n’ roll. Surprisingly, the show didn’t get shut down by the cops and only got a warning around 1 am. The band will be in Los Angeles all week long hopefully playing shows. If they can’t play inside a venue, they’ll play out front.
