 John Scarpati was the housephotographer for the Sunset Strip of the 1980s, when Punk & Glam were twins.
He wanted to be a painter. He wanted to be a rock star. He ended up being neither - and both. Scarpati, whose images span four waves of modern music and have become some of the most enduring iconics of metal, rock and punk, was raised in New Jersey, came of age in San Diego, gained notoriety in Los Angeles, now calls the world his home and Nashville his return address. His work has been cited by The Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone and PDN.

And as always- the heart & soul of the Fish Fry - Francois & John (Motorcycle Boy) will be at the door to greet you with a song & steal your heart away.
"Billy's Thursday Night Fish Fry & Community Social" is a monthly event that presents a diverse multi-media mixed-bag variety show of music, spoken word, unusual performance and more, putting a spotlight on several generations of Los Angeles' performers. Billy Shire calls the night a "21st century salon" and aims to re-connect the local creative community with a free, two plus hour "in the round" show, with the performers in the center of the gallery. The Fish Fry promises short revolving acoustic based musical sets, poetry, odd pairings of performers and much more. The show is open to all ages and there is NO cover charge!
