“Stay away from Downtown Pensacola and that goes for Pensacola Beach too!” – Steven Shane McDonald

The warning was more invite from the Red Kross/Melvins bassist to the Vinyl Music Hall crowd finishing off the band’s rocker “Stay Away From Downtown”.

Toshi Kasai started off this Friday night of their “Escape From L.A.” tour as McDonald and Dale Crover (drums) did double-duty playing in Red Kross (w/ brother Jeff and guitarist Jason Shapiro) and the Melvins (Buzz Osborne).

Amphetamine Reptile Records released a special 10” split celebrating the tour which wraps up November 8 at The Echo in Los Angeles.
