Searchlight goes Gaga

Welcome to La Casa de Searchlight, where zombies clad all in white appear from futuristic space pods; a singer is unwillingly pulled from a bathtub and offered to a stoic person wearing a mask; and raised claw-hands are the salute of choice. Oh, and don’t forget about the creepy hairless cat. Sound familiar? Good. It’s supposed to.

Jay Reatard was not a compassionate musician. He acted snotty, looked pouty in photos and was notorious for his occasional violence against fans. But, sporting some of the finest curls, licks and, at least in Las Vegas, kicks, Reatard (born Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr.) carved out a rightful spot as a modern garage-rock darling.

In 2009 we saw the Griffin, already one of Downtown’s hot spots, turn up the heat by welcoming bands into its intimate back room. While having hosted acoustic sets at random in the past, the decision to fully embrace the bar’s potential as a musician’s haven, offering local bands a platform every Wednesday night, just makes us warm up to our favorite watering hole even more. After a recent weekday stop to catch up on current resident band The Rooks ... Read more...
