UPDATE #2: Via Mr. Free's Comment posted below: "ALRIGHT! THE SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED AGAIN FOR REAL... N. BROADWAY BETWEEN BISHOP & BERNARD"
UPDATE: A tip from a reader, the show has moved. "Bus show moved downtown! somewhere around 6th street warehouse. 10:00 p.m. Call the mr free hotline for exact location - 520-MOLY-HOE - for info, or just look for the big orange bus!" On the recording Mr. Free says he doesn't know downtown that well, but it's might be 6th Street and Alberta. We thinks he meant Alameda.
"We travel the land on our bus. if we dont play in da club; we play outside_ inside the bus. we cannot be stopped xoxo," writes Mr. Free on his MySpace page. According to an Upcoming.org posting, Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout will be playing at 12 a.m. "under the Sunset bridge off Glendale Blvd. in Echo Park. (outside the Echoplex)." Look for the big orange bus. Mad River Glenn plays at 10:30 and Tweak Bird at 11:15. If anyone can confirm or tell us of a different location Tonight
