I love Bimbo's. The retro decor, the bathroom attendants, the bartender explaining to me why he doesn't like cilantro while mixing the best G&T I've had all evening.
The last time I saw Gary Numan was in 2013 at The Oakland Metro Opera House, a punk/metal venue in downtown Oakland. Bimbo's is quite a step up.
He has seriously cranked up the aggressive sound he adopted with 1999's "Exile". Now "Cars" and "Are Friends Electric?" sound like doom metal dirges. The bass literally vibrates your bones and would make a great soundtrack to an end-of-the-world party.
The new stuff from "Savage" is great too. I actually helped crowd-fund the record on the Pledge music site and was very pleased with the result.
We had samosas from Kennedy's (across the street) and alcohol from the bar.
All in all a great night out.
