Parental Advisory: video contains profane language.

Live from The Beauty Shop, Fairfield, Iowa’s underground music venue. Black sheep band Porno Galactica, now renamed Utopia Park, basks in the glory of being voted Fairfield’s Best Musical Act of 2009 by FairfieldVoice.com, and kicks off a multi-state tour.

Dom Rabalais (who also plays in the band Coyote Slingshot) raises his mug and yells, “Tonight, we dine in heaven!” – a proclamation which shares, perhaps, a unintended parallel to the movie “300″ in which you hear, “Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight we dine in hell!”

Brother Phil, sporting his dlf.tv t-shirt, also assures that the mugs get full attention. Decibels = sound crunch. Compared to the rich full-bodied heart-melting strength of their live music, the music recording portion of this video is crappy, thanks to Sony cameras. It is included for the “hard-core” fans.

Live from Café Paradiso February 5, 2010, the local band Two Drifters performs a cover of the song Por Ti by the band Tribu del Sol. Two Drifters are guitarists Paul Garrido (middle left) and sister Bettina Garrido, lead vocals. Backup by Micah Salaberrios on percussion, and Robbie Roth (right) on guitar. Paul Garrido, though silent on this song, is also known for his amazing ability to dance like Michael Jackson, including some very smooth moonwalking.
