Greg, you will be sorely missed. I was in shock, in disbelief and hoping it was all some shit ass rumor. Alas you are gone and I’m so sad. We all are. We started to reconnect a few years ago. I was honored to play that Suicide tribute show with you at the @themontybar (We covered “keep your dreams” w/ @_donzii ). So glad I got to share the stage with you that day. I meant everything to me; I had so much fun. One of those gigs “I really needed to do” as I’m terrible at covers and I wanted to get over that. I always respected you as positive light in our little Rock and Roll scene. I just wish I told you that more. You took the time to say hello, a quick hug maybe, a comment or two on a good song or band. That nod, those little moments- I’ll never forget. I cried yesterday, drank wine and talked about you till the wee hours of the morning. I feel thrashed today and still can’t believe you are gone. Goodbye Mr. Moth aka @mrpharmacist72 and thank you Bobby

Rageeeerrrr! Get your tickets now. Who know we might just bust out the double drummer. May even the wall of synths?! If not will make sure to play Caveman Rock so you can do the uga boo ga! Ok

Los Angeles is experiencing a rock & roll revival. This May 22nd to 25th, Arroyo Secodelic Festival will take over Highland Park for a 4-Day, All Ages punk rock celebration. For years LA has felt like a bastion for mainstream, pop-forward music. But for decades this city has fostered some of the brightest underground talent in the world. Arroyo Secodelic is proud to host LA legends FEAR, the Adolescents and Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose) along with loads of young talent from across the city’s diverse spectrum of artists. Tickets are available at ArroyoSecodelic.com Get yours before they sell out. #lamusic #larock #highlandpark #lapunk #arroyosecodelic

Some live shots from our Gold Diggers Residency last month. 📸 @dug.moore enjoy!

Oh no big deal - just Diana getting her book signed and hanging with the legendary Richard Hell at @storiesbooksandcafe with Vander @dractoria 📸 @mviratelle - now that’s a cool night in LA!

Happy Birthday To Me. 52. Honestly, I’m just happy to still be here. Jesus! I look back and think “shit, I should have died many times over” but I seemed to have lucked it. Grateful for all my family, friends, fans and of course my band mates. This is band page after all (I don’t have time for two accounts ok!). We are like a little family, I guess. Sometimes dysfunctional but mostly always wonderful and just the best people ever. Past and present – you know who you are. I’m so lucky to have been able to tour and play what it is some 1000-1100 shows last count. Oh -big thanks to all the people that put that together! You rock! That’s like 3 years on stage not counting rehearsals! That said, no tours anytime soon as it’s just not feasible right now. We are just going to stay local. So go to the shows! and Enjoy the music! As I like to joke “every show is the last show”! HAHA. Anyways that’s it! Be good to each other. Much love, Bobby

The Warlocks cover “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam” By The Vaselines @thevaselineslive live at Gold Diggers @golddiggersla Enjoy! I love the sound of late 1980s & early 1990s alternative rock. Bands like The Vaselines, @thefeeliesnj Television Personalities @television.personalities , @galaxie500 Nikki Sudden, Beat Happening, Felt, Replacements & Teardrop Explodes. So many great bands! A few songs on Manic Excessive was inspired by this sound. So, lo fi but so beautiful and charming. It encapsulates a time in music that was rough and around and the edges “not fiddled with” but also so innocent and beautiful at the same time. I’ve attached my playlist in the bio incase you want to go there. Thank you, Susy Becker, for taking the footage. @djladybug We only covered a few songs in 25 years. I always felt we were just “too weird” for covers. I found them so insanely difficult to do. This one song took me weeks to memorize the words (and its easy to play!). We would often cover Spacemen 3 at practice to warm up and sometimes tossed it in end of the set in the early days of the band! Enjoy!

Last night was magical beyond words. The crowd was great and the sound incredible. It really was one for the books. We would like to thank @golddiggersla for having us. It was very challenging to do different sets each week and keep as fresh as possible. But also, very rewarding in the best possible way. I felt we grew as band with our peers and la peep watching and supporting us. 25 years in. That’s cool stuff! It really gave me hope for the music scene in Los Angeles! Next up. April 11 The Flyway in Pomona with Death Valley Girls @deathvalleygirls . It’s put on by our old friend Ralph Carrera @beaumondeexp (Who first booked our early tours back in the 2000s). follow his page for upcoming events in Pomona, Las Vegas and Beyond. And of course, LA’s very own festival in high land park. Arroyo Secodelic May 22-24 follow their page for deets. @arroyosecodelic We are contemplating double drums for this show! What do you guys think? Also, would like to thank all the supports this month. You guys were awesome. Cheers BH, JC, EVM, MS, OC The Warlocks 📸 @venturamusic
