Never made it to Cathay de Grande, because I had excised myself from the LA rock scene. But I do have the odd recording of Sun Ra there, introduced by Brendan.

Oh, right, thanks, Sufferwords. Lingerie. I might have been to Cathay de Grande once or twice.

Brendan was quite a character. He introduced my band at the Masque as "the ultimate in embarrassment rock." He was spot on.
