Saturday June 25, 2005 and Metal lives in The OC. Sitting here at 3 AM. We just got in from the ‘Little Dolls’ and ‘Metal 101’ show at Diablo’s Rockin Cantina in Lake Forest, CA. I wanted to write this out before I lost it all from the drunken stupor hahaha!

Awesome, so you want to get the scoop on the 'Little Dolls' and 'Metal 101' gig! Well, we got a call from DJKev telling us that the Little Dolls www.thelittledolls.com, an Ozzy Tribute band were playing at DIABLO'S ROCKIN CANTINA 23600 Rockfield Blvd Lake Forest, CA 92630 (949) 768-7500.

I figured we’d catch some good tunes and hang out with some bro’s we haven’t seen in awhile.  WickedAngel and I headed down to Diablo's to check out the Little Dolls and also to checkout Diablo's. I'd heard that Joe Shultz had a new venue he was promoting shows at out in Lake Forest, CA. When we showed up there was Joe hanging just outside the front door greeting his rock n roll clientele and making sure the VIP’s as well as the regular patrons were having a great time. After wrist straps to show you’re of age and hand stamps from Mary at the door we headed to the bar to get a jump start on the too many beers to walk straight.

We were cruising around and started seeing a couple Iron Maidens around and we had to hit them up and say hey. We loved their show at The Galaxy and had to let the girls know! If you’ve listened to the station lately you’ve heard the great commercials the Iron Maidens made for DJ Metallia and BrainGell Radio.

So more beers, cigs and then Metal 101 www.metal101.com takes the stage. With Armando Vega on Vocals & Guitar, Juan Carlos on Guitar, Joe Avalos on Bass and Kevin Landrum on Drums. You can tell these guys are having a blast doing covers that include Dokken, Pantera, Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and more. The Metal 101 boys have the whole crowd banging and singing along. WickedAngel was totally loving Metal 101 and was doing her wiggle and head bang she does when she’s feeling it. We were digging the tunes and were feeling the beers. I suggest you find out more about Metal 101 at www.metal101.com.

Did I say the beers were going down so easy and the tunes were fucking great? Heading out to Diablo’s turned out a great way to spend the night out enjoying rock music. Well stage crew and roadies made the transformation and the Little Dolls gear was ready and the girls started warming their instruments with a little chunk chunk of guitar, a ratta tat tat of snare, boom boom of the kick and some thump from the bass. We see SARA as Rakk Wylde, LINDA as Brandy Castillo. TERRY as Bobbi Trujillo and DEANNA as Sharon Osbourne, known collectively as the ‘Little Dolls’ www.thelittledolls.com.

These rocker chicks cover Ozzy old and new with head banging style. The rhythm kept solid by Linda and Terry, with Sara shredding out the licks and Deanna belting out the vocals with a killer front man style. I was totally enjoying the show and was definitely enjoying the buzz.  Well the girls finished their set and we decided to head on home where the beers were chilling in the fridge and we could come back here and give you the info on a good night. I will be sure to go checkout the Little Dolls www.thelittledolls.com and Metal 101 www.metal101.com in the future and you should too!
