Billy Idol Rocks Hinano: 3-17-13

While nothing can beat a Hinano burger, having a Hinano burger while Billy Idol joins Stephen McGrath’s band Seagull for a St. Patrick’s Day jam is pretty darn special! Seagull can be heard once a month at Hinano when McGrath is not touring with Billy Idol. Check the schedule by clicking here!

Billy Idol Hinano Cafe, Venice Beach: 3-17-13

Thanks to Melissa and Mary Alice for the pictures!

Hinano customers were treated to the “surreal” show at about 5pm today, as Idol tore through a number of his hits. The band also played The Doors “LA Woman”. Doors singer Jim Morrison frequented Hinano when he lived in Venice. Click here to hear a recording of the set. There is also a brief video “after the jump”! (Have video or pictures? Send them in!)

Billy Idol Hinano Cafe, Venice Beach: 3-17-13

Hopefully Idol, who has possessed one of the best voices in rock for decades, will return again! (And lay down some Generation X while he is at it!)
