Johnny Monster at Gallagher’s in Huntington Beach

Friday, October 25th

It was a great night at Gallagher’s Bar with Johnny Monster and the Nightmares! Getting the room ready for Johnny Monster were a couple of bands playing some great covers from the 80’s and 90’s (Tastee Nuggz). It’s always an amazing show when David Paskowitz hits the stage, his personality is electrifying! Keeping the show consistent with past performances, there were go-go dancers at each side of the stage, only now the dancers are friends of David’s daughter rather than direct friends of David (we’re all grown up now)! My favorite San Clemente Bass Player (Shane Anderson), Todd McNeill on Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Harmonica… the real mystery is how did they all fit on that small Gallagher’s stage! Happy Halloween, I can’t wait until next time!
