Some OC news?
THE BAIT SHOP is the new PEACH PIT AFTER DARK??????
Next season, even more bands are likely to reap such benefits. Mr. Schwartz says "The O.C." is adding a new set to the program, a venue on the show called the Bait Shop, which he describes as an "all-ages club." Ms. Patsavas has already lined up bands -- including Modest Mouse, the Killers and the Walkmen -- for Bait Shop performances in three episodes next season.
i'm sure all the serious OC followers have already heard about this. but i don't read all the message boards and follow all the internet details, so this is news to me. very fun news as just yesterday i was involved in a ten minute conversation about 90210's peach pit after dark. basically, this news makes me think that there's one more good season of THE OC left, and then it's all downhill.

Hmmm. I hadn't heard about this, and I am wary and suspicious of change. Part of the fun was spotting the good tunes on the soundtrack in the background, so that'll be different.
But The Peach Pit isn't the only examplar here, don't forget how cool is was to see Lotion playing The Bronze on Buffy. That was a show that had bands on, but didn't make too big a deal about it, the way 90210 did. So we shall see, we shall see.

i can't believe i forgot about THE BRONZE! when THE OC returns this fall, i should put together a website of a fictional booking manager, spotlighting all the bands that have played the television clubs. i'll even make sure i include that coffeehouse on ONE TREE HILL where Sheryl Crow strummed a number or two.
