“What the hell kind of church service is this?”
— STEVE KOTLER, LA WEEKLY

Bird & Beckett’s favorite band delivers the sacrament at a National Caviar Day booking south of the slot on Saturday, and preaches to the choir at Bird & Beckett Sunday morning before loading the van to return to the Southland and their workaday world of wonder.
