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!
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!)
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!)
