Glamwire RoQs #1
Actress Bijou Phillips and Guitarist Pat Smear RoQ, like, the Whatever Theatre on Whatever Street, in NYC, after the premier of the Germ's biop flick "What We Do Is Secret," in which Phillips plays "Lorna Doome" whom we met back stage and who has been reunited with Smear to do a Germs tour with the movie this year. The Germs were the first La Punk band. Darby Crash named "Pat Smear" on a whim in their homeroom in high school in 1977. Crash committed suicide with a big injection of heroin on December 9th, 1980. The story was famously overshadowed by the murder of John Lennon the same night. The movie ROQS, and Pat Smear, has gone through his adult life with the name Pat Smear, and has played with Nirvana, and is an original member of the Foo Fighters, and chills whenever he can in Malibu at his ranch. The other Germs are very excited about their reunion tour, and have every reason to be excited about the excellent flick "What We Do Is Secret."
