El Demonio vive en Texas: May 2012

May 26, 2012: The Upper Crust, Lola-Cola...

To me, this show @Red 7 was like a sandwich made up of some fine-ass gourmet bread (Lola-Cola and The Upper Crust) and filled with some ham that was starting to turn bad (Neon Cobra) and some stinky, moldy cheese (Yuppie Pricks). The previous sentence is a good example of why I should keep my descriptions brief.

Anyhoo, here are some PICS (the cheese didn't photograph well so I didn't include it)...

And a VID of Lola-Cola covering "You Think You're the Best" (by The Nuns)...

Thank you, drive thru!
