You know how in the movie The Matrix, you are "a mental projection of your digital self"? Well if that were really the case, I think I'd look a lot like the Minnie to Mickey Avalon (born Yeshe Perl)—gaunt, ashen and wrought like the crispy end of a chewed wire. So it goes without saying that I would thereby look nothing like Avalon's touring compadre Andre Nickatina (born Andre Adams, fka Dre Dog), whose build might make you wonder if he moonlights as a heavyweight champion. If you don't know much about Avalon, this line from his succinct online bio speaks volumes: "He moved to the big city, living in cheap motels, eating dollar hamburgers, working the boulevard with ex-models, thorazine freaks, transvestites, mothers, fathers, drunks, junkies and punk rockers alike." (Oh, BTW, his birthday is December 3—so, you know, maybe get him a lei or something.) Nickatina's latest, Khan! The Me Generation, hit stores in April and is the 14th solo album to his credit, following up on works like 1995's I Hate You With A Passion and 1999's Tears of a Clown. Tickets are available at Local Motion surf shops, West Side Vibes, Hard Rock Cafe and Requests. 667-7400, hardrock.com
