LANCE BANGS MEETS FAMILY LA'S EXTENDED LA FAMILY

By VBS Staff

Hey, starting tomorrow “Lance Bangs”: returns to the VBS fold with a two-part series on the Family bookstore in LA.

We agree that watching a documentary about a store sounds only a tad more captivating than shaving your balls on muscle relaxants, but what Lance does is he uses Family as a launchpad to talk with all the artists and musicians who like to hang out there and play in-stores, then he follows them to their spaces (like the Smell and Ooga Booga and Sam Harkham’s silent theater) and talks to all the people hanging out there and before you know it you’ve sat through an epic Fassbinder-esque account of the entire Los Angeles scene at this specific moment of time.

Anyways, even if it was strictly about Family, we bet it would still be a better watch than most of the crap coming out these days. Far be it from us to tell you what’s awesome, but where else are you going to find a copy of Soiled Matress & the Springs first album, a Harmony Korine zine anthology, and an oversized print by comics insaniac Victor Cayro while watching a show while hanging out with all your best buds and a bunch of Southern Californian creative types? Oh, the internet? I’ll internet you, you damn wiseass.
