Last month, OC folk rocker Will Crum performed an impromptu/flash mob show at a Costa Mesa Wendy's, and he was up to his antics again on Sunday, with a similar show at the Ikea in CM.
Except while the Wendy's gig was relatively well received, his foray into affordably priced, Swedish-manufactured furniture did not go over so well, with the singer and his crew being shooed out by security not hip to their offbeat shenanigans. They actually performed on the upstairs showroom inside one of the fake little rooms, which is pretty impressive and rather ballsy. I happened to be at Ikea yesterday afternoon looking for a coffee table, but managed to miss all this excitement. I did get a table, though, so not a total loss.
Here's a video detailing the hijinx, thanks to KUCI's Press Pass for the heads-up.

Yesterday my wife and I were shopping at IKEA when we saw a couple dozen guys rolling carts filled with amps and gear. We followed them to the bed and kitchen area where they set up, plugged in and played. It was so cool. Pretty soon a couple hundred people were gathered around as this Will Crum guy rocked out IKEA. The IKEA employees in yellow shirts had no idea what to do, this is not in their manuals. After three or four songs, someone from management pulled the plug on them, then there was a huge chant of one more song...they got an encore from IKEA shoppers!!!
This was like punk rock back in the day. Thanks for the impromptu show guys.
