From the dark shadows of vacant buildings and the settled dirty dust of downtown Los Angeles, there is a beacon of light. Behold, a rising star shining in the midst of cracked black tar & tetanus-laden rust, The Blue Star Bar.
This is where Armadillicious Music will be honoring the holiest of holy. It is our homage to the one and only guitar god, Jimi Hendrix, on this anniversary date of his heading to the great beyond. We are proud to bring you a feverish, frenzied, tent revival Rock n’ Roll time; a musical rendition reminiscent of the faithful speaking in tongues, caterwauling snake handlers and sinners lining up in droves for a dose of Rock n’ Roll Salvation. These bands will baptize you into the realm of the sonic spirit. Your soul will be washed clean by the sheer force of the Rock n’ Roll.
We are thrilled to bring you the following:
FIREBALL MINISTRY – The tent thunders with the shouts of the devotees
who beg for a release from their mundane existence. The pleas ring out
for a break from the ties that bind them to their mortal coil. They
have the belief in something greater and that which is greater is known
as the mighty Fireball Ministry, who are dyed-in-the-wool, resolute
believers of the Rock and the Roll. They are ordained in the Mack truck
version of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". They will drive over you to
reach salvation, dragging the empty shell of your body behind as your
spirit reaches new heights into the black darkness of the beyond. Your
hands will bleed at the palms while you try to hang on to what you
know. Your stigmata will not save you; your faith will not save you.
The only thing that will save you is the Rock which they are delivering;
tearing your flesh from bone to bombard your soul. Beware, they are
holy knights bent on delivering you from this wretched life.
www.fireballministry.com SASQUATCH - Wreaking havoc on those who lack faith, Sasquatch lead the
way by brandishing their fiery sword of rock n' roll. No longer do you
hear the trumpets of heaven calling; you’re now brought to eternal rest
by a trio of destruction. 70's hard rock mixed with a dash of metal
carried by an unmistakable undercurrent of psychedelic sounds permeate
their songs. You are anointed at the alley entrance of the
not-so-pearly gates. Since you are not worthy, the one and only casts
you back out because these angels haven’t finished recalling your sins
and as they hold you hostage with a super-heavy, bone-crunching
onslaught, you are reminded why the meek inherit nothing. Sasquatch
will not only knock you on your ass, their collective boot will keep you
pinned to the ground while the angry fist of the righteous pummels your
face.
www.myspace.com/sasquatchrocksHALLOWED ENGINE - Southern fried thick riffs and nonstop energy are
brought to the stage with a vengeance. Be prepared to be brought to
your knees by the gospel of their guitar-driven, bass-heavy,
groove-laden tunes. These are further enhanced by lead singing bass
player Laurie Es, whose voice is tailor-made for rock n' roll courtesy
of a church choir that could only have been formed by the devil
himself. All of these components fit perfectly into the steamrolling
sound that is Hallowed Engine as they careen down the path of sin. This
is a testimony to the down-home, homegrown feeling which is brought
about when you know you’re being so, so bad but it feels oh so good.
www.myspace.com/hallowedengineSYLVIA JUNCOSA – She preaches the gospel by way of SG as she leads the
unsuspecting lambs to slaughter. Her veracity untainted by the years
she’s been manipulating six strings; the only truth is the truth of her
boundless energy, her brilliant playing, her ferocious attack and the
tender love of it all. After a long sabbatical, she’s returned to bring
the uninitiated to the altar with the blistering hymns of those who
know no other tongue. Her beneficence is exalted by way of rapturous
rock. She not only leads the way, she carves the path. Do not forget,
it’s not a guitar in her hands; it’s an instrument of the gods.
www.sylviajuncosa.comTRASH TITAN – Blues was born into the world through suffering. This
band stands on the pulpit of that pain and sings right through your
soul. The agony of your very existence is spoken for through the
musical bounty of blessings you will receive whilst this band recalls
those who have come before them. There is no theft here mind you; this
band honors those who died for the sake of this sound. They have wiped
the beads of sweat from their brow with rags dipped in the holy water
mixture of whiskey and gasoline. From the consecrated cocktail of
drunken devotion, we rise to behold their glory.

ZINNGESCHREI – The tongue twisting name is German and describes the sound of mechanically manipulated tin. However, the word is a misnomer when it comes to this band. There is nothing tinny about their sound. Ethereal yet with enough crushing gravitational mass to rival a black hole; their deeply hypnotic, angelic resonance rebounds through the vast dark matter of our minds. One listen is never enough. Their musical orbit propelled by the 12 heavenly notes circle the galaxy of one ear to another and the next thing you know, eons have gone by.

This is a Rock n’ Roll Revival of the highest order. We promise to ignite and inflame the passion of the soul of Los Angeles' bonafide down n' dirty rock n' roll. These musical saviors of sonic fortune keep the true spirit alive. Show up and praise all that is ROCK. We will leave you on your knees shaking with the sounds of salvation!
The camp meeting begins at 6:00 PM and a mere $10.00 dollars guarantees you’ll be inscribed in the book of life for the following year. There’s no need to fast either as you’ll find tasty, cheap eats for a mere buck as we move you to heaven.
The Blue Star Bar is located at 2200 E. 15th Street in downtown Los Angeles, 90021 and is easily accessed from the 10 Fwy.
