Is that Charles Durning in the white suit ?

[RonaldVaughan]

@magpie1869 I don't even know who that is. Sorry I can't help you.

[dcassick]

i love the 'Happy Hour' era costumes!!!!!!!!!!!! stars...my only more favorite outfit is the 'Rock Animals' leather look!!!!!!!!

[scooteratreides]

Jesus! I saw this when it came out! I had no idea there was a vid of their performance on here! Thank You!!!!

[bobfrombarstow]

good stuff!

[Shoknifeman]

Is that red haired um... person a woman, or a guy in drag?? Reminds me of Marge Simpson

[RonaldVaughan]

@Shoknifeman Possibly RuPaul or something......they had assorted weirdos on that show. But I only was

interested in SHONEN KNIFE,LOL!!

I'd seen SK (as a music reviewer for DISCOVERIES and ROCK CITY NEWS Magazines) when they made their first-ever Los Angeles appearance,at the Knights of Columbus Hall (Downtown L.A.) in late 1989 (I

still have the photos I took of that,as well as other photos)

NAOKO had sent me a "Zero Records" LP directly from her home in Osaka! :)

[Shoknifeman]

@RonaldVaughan Hi :)

As a fellow huge SK fan, I would love to see your photos of the band from 1989 (I didn't even know they existed at that time); and I'd love to put them up on my Shonen Knife forum... or, you could join and post them yourself. ^_~

[Shoknifeman]

@RonaldVaughan Being a professional music critic sounds kind of fun; mind you, I generally prefer music before 1970, especially Rockabilly and Big Band. (Jgirl-punk being a notable exception). On my forum, I do most of the music reviews (Mostly SK CDs...but, i do them as a fan, so, I rarely critisize! haha)

(I tried to send you this as a private massage, but, you have friend lock on!hehe)

[13bats]

That's Kerri Kinney as the former Mrs. Lapin.

[Shoknifeman]

@13bats So... A guy in drag?

[13bats]

@Shoknifeman

No - The Actress Kerri Kinney from The State, Reno 911, etc..

Try Google. It's free and easy!

[Shoknifeman]

@13bats Hard to believe that's a woman hahahahaha

[RonaldVaughan]

@Shoknifeman You're certainly not referring to the band.....like I said,I was only interested in SK,but

I kept the other announcers' taglines in. I like to save introductions to acts when possible.

SK is btw,still around after all these years.

[Shoknifeman]

@RonaldVaughan No, of course not, I am very familliar with Shonen Knife... planning to see them live again come Oct 20th ; I was saying that the tall person with red hair looks like a guy in drag. Shonen Knife are my very favorite band since 1997 , i run an SK forum ^_^

[KikoRex]

Ha ha ha, this rules. I had forgotten all about Viva Variety. These State guys sure made a lot of shows.

SHONEN KNIFE~

[lajolla200]

Adorable!

[sirreal73x]

Cuter'n three speckled pups under a red wagon. :) One of my all-time fave SK vids. Looooove the outfits.

[Shoknifeman]

To be 100% accurate, the 2nd song is called "Sushi Bar Song"... but, it's often refered to as just "Sushi Bar"

[Shoknifeman]

This was the 1999 Happy Hour tour... Michie's last! (I don't know what Naoko was thinking wearing that pseudo cowboy look 9_9)
