That was pretty cool to all us kids, you don't usually get rock bands playing your gym ... it was when Earthshaker was first out and they gave us all the record (vinyl baby) ... they're actually a pretty damn cheesy band but they were from the Bay so ... I won't diss 'em too hard.
Their 2nd (I think) album Black Tiger was aaaight (as was their first hit 'Rescue Me' from Earthshaker), but this song is terrible. They were alright live, the singer dude is pretty good guitarist ... for a singer
Though gotta admit, seeing the Boardwalk at Venice takes me back, been there MANY times ... my rich best friends family had a penthouse vacation condo at a complex JUST at the north end of the Venice boardwalk in Santa Monica, place called 'Sea Colony' ... we used to blow down for the weekend from San Luis Obispo where we both went to school, and his younger bro was in a frat at USC ... so he'd all meet up with us we'd all stay at the condo for the weekend and PAR-TAY, college-style ... go to the Boardwalk for Lunch, hit the beach, then maybe hit Westwood at night or some party as his bro's House ... Good times ...
It's really ridiculous how much shit gets filmed there, you see it ALL THE TIME, man.
