Chapter 1013 1013 Death Canyon

Brown-York looked at the dilapidated phone booth in front of him with an excited look on his face. The green paint of this phone booth had been mottled, and it looked like it had been beaten by countless wind and rain, but it was nothing special. It was just one of the countless phone booths on the streets of Los Angeles. Brown couldn't contain his excitement.

Dan. Durning, who was standing on the side, saw Brown's expression, he hesitated, but finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth. Brown said excitedly, "I'm going in through the phone booth, how about you? Or are you going in from the hot dog shop?"

Behind Brown, in addition to Dan, there were three other people, all of them eagerly looking forward to it, which made Dan suppressed his inner uneasiness and didn't say anything. Black. Blue immediately started yelling, "I'm going in from the hot dog shop, the hot dog shop." Then he looked at his companion, "Jonathan, how about you?"

Jonathan. Penner pointed to the phone booth, "I've heard that you can go in from the phone booth, aren't you curious?"

"What about you?" Black looked at Dan and the last man, Clay. Weber.

Dan and Clay glanced at each other before answering in unison, "Hot dog shop."

At this point, Brown couldn't wait, "Let's go, let's go!" While shouting, he rushed towards the phone booth, and the others did not hesitate any longer. They were divided into two groups, and one group followed Brown into the phone booth. , and one group walked to a hot dog shop five steps away next to the phone booth.

I saw Brown and Jonathan walk into the phone booth, and then Brown picked up the phone receiver and whispered something, and then saw the ground at the foot of the phone booth actually drop, and Brown and Jonathan gradually disappeared into the phone booth. , it looks like a scene from a special agent movie.

This is actually a bar called Death Valley (Death. Valley). This bar is very secretive. Only a few senior players in Los Angeles know about it. They never make publicity, but pass word of mouth among members, one by one. Dot spread the news. Many bar lovers have heard of this bar, but they can't find the address or the door. Death Canyon is also known as the most mysterious professional bar in the entire West Coast of the United States.

There are two entrances to Death Canyon. One is a green phone booth, which is accessed by elevators; The facing wall can be pushed open, like a revolving door, and then you can see the stairs extending down to enter this speakeasy.

The ingenious entrance is naturally a major feature of the "Death Canyon". Even if many people find the vicinity, they can't find the gate and cannot enter. However, the way to enter is not the magic weapon that the bar is famous for. This bar claims to have the most original whisky, as well as top beers from all over the world, and if you are lucky, you can also find tequila and vodka from Russia.

It is these high-quality wines that have attracted countless senior players.

Brown took the elevator down slowly, and then the whole bar slowly came into view. Contrary to his reputation, the interior of the bar looked terrible. The disorganized table setting, the messy walls of the funeral, the dim light, all this It all makes the interior of "Death Canyon" look like a speakeasy place during the Prohibition Period, and it is a place where dock porters and construction workers, who are struggling on the poverty line, gather.

This is really surprising, and it is incompatible with the bustling scene of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, as if traveling through time and space. But if you think about it carefully, this arrangement just perfectly echoes the entrance of the telephone booth and hot dog shop, and fully implements the name of the underground bar.

No wonder Death Canyon is so famous, and it really lives up to its reputation.

Brown and Jonathan walked into the bar while looking at them curiously. They stood at the door for only 30 seconds, and the other three companions also appeared.

Looking at Brown who was excited to go to the bar to order a drink, Dan finally couldn't help it and stopped Brown, "We have a performance task, don't we? It's too late to drink after the performance."

Brown couldn't contain his excitement at all, "Beer, I want a bottle of beer, it doesn't matter." Then he broke free from Dan's right hand and walked straight to the bar. Blake and Jonathan also persuaded Dan. , "Just a bottle of beer, nothing will happen." Then he followed closely.

Clay patted Dan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, he's so good at drinking, a glass of beer won't hurt."

Dan let out a long sigh, "That's the only way to go. Then do we need to go to the bar owner first? Or what?"

Clay looked around, "Don't say hello to the bartender after talking about it, and then we can go on stage at 10:30." Then his eyes locked on the bar, "It seems that we still have to go to the bar once. In desperation, Clay and Dan also quickly stepped forward and walked towards the bar.

When the two of them came to the bar, they saw Brown's surprised expression, "Super Al! You're actually a bartender here?"

Green-Hill stood at the counter, looked at Brown in surprise, tried to recall this face, but found it a little difficult, "Have we met at Al's bar before?" Green didn't answer Brown's question directly. , In fact, the death canyon also belongs to Green's own industry. The Al Bar on the poor street is a rock and roll gathering place, but the positioning of this death canyon is even more different. It is more of a restoration of the situation during the Prohibition Period. Together, enjoy walking. The happiness brought by the alcohol that comes from privately is drunk and dreaming of death.

"Brown, Brown-York!" Brown introduced himself excitedly, and after finding that Green still didn't respond, he had to add, "New day!"

Green suddenly realized.

The Brown in front of him was actually a member of Brand New Day, the band that Fu Jin once belonged to. Green immediately awakened his memory. New Day was well-known in the underground rock circle, but Fukukin and another member Aaron Day were swept out of the house. Later, the three members of Brown, Jonathan and Black gathered Dan. With Clay, a new day was remade.

After starting again, although the development of a new day has some twists and turns, it is generally upwards. They soon signed with New Union Records, which belongs to the indie rock temple SST Records. Although New Union is only one of its independent labels, their ability to see a new day shows the band's strength.

It's just a pity that, as the leader of indie rock, the competition is naturally more intense. New Day's album, which was originally scheduled to be released at the beginning of this year, has been pushed again and again. There are many reasons. On the one hand, the internal competition in the company is very hot, and the limited resources are naturally more tense; on the other hand, the recording work of New Day is not going smoothly. There is also a run-in period after adding two new members.

The album of the new day before and after was pushed back three times before the debut album of the same name was released in September. It's a pity that the whole music market was cheering for the glory of "bathing in the morning light". It was not easy for a newcomer to come forward. This also made a new day in the record market. In the past three months, the album has only sold less than 100,000 Zhang only.

However, New Alliance Records was obviously prepared for this, so they arranged a new day to start accumulating strength by touring. Different from the previous way of touring on the road, the new day is to sing in various professional bars. This way is also very popular. As early as the 1950s and 1960s, during the heyday of folk music, the way of bar tour was The most important way for singers to find a way out, since then, music including rock, jazz, pop, rhythm and blues, etc. has all started to make a fortune in the bar.

However, three months is still too short. Generally speaking, it is difficult for an underground rock band to make a breakthrough in no one or two years. The abnormality such as glory to death has also been brewing for more than seven years. Yue, not to mention Pearl Jam and Nirvana, which have been around for more than two years.

Therefore, New Day is still in the process of continuous touring.

Today, a new day can get an invitation from Death Canyon, which can also prove that they still have a certain reputation in the circle.

Green doesn't know much about the bar's invitation to perform singers, and other people are responsible for these trivial matters, but when Green reacted to what Brown meant, his expression suddenly became a little playful, "So, you guys here today have Performance?"

"Yes, at 10:30." Brown said with a smile, he knew that Death Canyon is the top existence of the underground bar in Los Angeles, and he also knew that Green's strong influence on the underground rock circle, Al's bar is still underground rock. The biggest gathering place for the band. So, if a brand new day can show a hand in front of Green today, it can definitely be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which makes him even more excited.

Green watched a few other teammates gather in the new day. He nodded politely, "What do you want? Today's first round is mine, and I wish you all a successful performance." At half past ten, this time period is not good. Not bad, just average. It's just that, thinking of the performance guests at 10 o'clock today, Green can't stop smiling. Should it be called luck? Or bad luck?

Brown didn't think so much, and being able to make Green pay the bill was a good opportunity to close the distance, "Beer, thank you!"

Looking at Green who was busy, suddenly there was applause in the bar. Brown looked back and saw a person walking on the stage, but the angle here is a bit off, so he can only see the side face, But he couldn't see the front of the stage, "Are the performers going to play?"

Green opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Brown, stunned, and then laughed, "Yes, the ten o'clock performers are on stage. It's an, uh, old friend, good friend, give me face today, making a cameo here, It's just a ticket. If you are interested, you can also enjoy it."
