Considering they're the most taboo of taboos, rape, incest, necrophilia and pedophilia rarely receive simultaneous play on the silver screen. But in 2010, Serbian director Srdjan Spasojevic dedicated camera time to all of those topics in A Serbian Film--a flick YouTube user feagfilms used to make an unauthorized video for the Dwarves. The ultra-energetic "Stop Me" from 2011's The Dwarves Are Born Again scores a frantic, freaky montage of violent sex, gory vampirism and smashed skulls. "I didn't make the project really or have much to do with it, but I suppose I approve of it," the Dwarves' good-natured ringleader/vocalist Blag Dahlia says. "[The video maker] sort of jacked our song and jacked that imagery, but when I looked at it, I was like, 'Fuck, this is pretty appropriate,' although it isn't what I would have done. I tend to go more vanilla sexually."

Dahlia might be cool with his Chicago-bred, San Francisco-based band soundtracking scenes from the intensely nasty, frequently banned horror-thriller, but the Dwarves' discography and Serbian don't truly sync up. Both entities encourage devious sexual acts but employ vastly different tones. Serbian's aesthetic is frighteningly dark and disconcerting, whereas the band have long engaged in offensive content with a sense of mischievous glee.
Since forming in the early 1980s, the Dwarves have used naked women and blood on their record covers, titled their crucial 1990 album Blood Guts & Pussy, encouraged sex and chaos at shows, perpetuated a death hoax, and generally not given a shit if someone doesn't appreciate their attitude or lyrics. Born Again includes the aptly titled lead track "The
Dwarves Are Still the Best Band Ever," centered around a simple, unambiguous refrain: "Let's just get high and fuck some sluts."

For most drunks, there's nothing remarkable about getting banned from a downtown Fullerton bar. Shit, stroll along Harbor on Friday between the hours of midnight and 2 a.m., and you'll see sidewalks teeming with wayward boozers, some spilling urine and other bodily fluids along the planters. But for this frequent downtown Fullerton patron, getting banned from the Slidebar Rock 'N Roll Kitchen holds a bit of a mystery--sort of.

Those who were lucky enough to purchase tickets are commenting on Facebook too. Fan Anthony Estrada said, "The bar can hold 250 people. Around 75-100 tickets were given already to people associated with the band. So for the fans, it was only 150 tickets left, and since there is a 2 ticket maximum, that's only 75 people that got in. ... And I was one of them."

ORIGINAL POST, AUGUST 10, 10:28 P.M.: Yesterday we told you that Green Day is holding a secret, low key performance at Costa Mesa's very own Tiki Bar--and it's been in the works since last Friday. Yes, it sounds surreal, but it is true!
