Mangchi, the twisted lovechild of David Choe (@davidchoe) and the musically talented members of the DVDASA family, namely Steve Lee (@quangou, on the vocals), Ashley Dzerigian (@heatherleather_, slapping the bass), legendary producer/music extraordinaire Money Mark (on the keys, guitar, etc), James Jean, (@jamesjeanart, on the keys) Dylan Fujioka (@farpomarx, on the drums), Eddie Kim (@denjahng, DJ), and new member unnamed violinist (if anyone knows her name, could you let me know?), played at Los Globos nightclub in Silverlake, Los Angeles, last night.  BDAB was in attendance, and it was everything that I would have expected from a Mangchi show.

Let me describe it this way:

99% male, 0.9% female, 0.1% unknown.  Hipsters, juggalos, goths, perennial hermits, Asians, hispanic, whites, blacks, rockers, ravers, 9-5ers, no-gooders.  Mosh pitting to country songs.  Screaming.  Sweating.  General sense of mayhem.  Good ol’ Mangchi.
