The Thousand Year Itch, formerly The Stingers, celebrated the release of their CD by the same name at Paladino's in Reseda this past Saturday night. Besides a VH 1 crew there to cover it, a number of porn notables showed up including the Extreme Associates crew. Guitarist and leader of the band Mark Miller had this to say.
Miller: "Generally speaking, the place was packed. VH 1 came and shot what they wanted to shoot, and a couple of other media-style people were there. The Extreme guys - Rob Black, Tom Byron, Janine, Lizzy Borden were there. Randy West was there and you can say the lead singer for Counting Crows was there."
G. Ross: "No shit??!"
Miller: "They've had a bunch of hits. I know I've heard their stuff but I couldn't give you the guy's name. A lot of people knew who he was. The guys from Warners and the buyer from Virgin Megastores was there. A lot of people like that. And it went great. The band kicked ass. We gave out CD's. It was a real good night. It was very successful. There was a real good sound in there, and I liked the club. I hope they do well with it because there's no good music clubs anywhere anymore. From what I understand it was a country bar then was a swing bar for awhile. Now they're doing more rock n' roll. The Beetle band, the Fab Four guys are playing there this Friday. They were down there. It's a good club. The stage is good. The sound system is good and it's a good room to play in. They can get a good mix in there that's loud and powerful but doesn't take your head off.
