In the impromptu fashion of a LAMC show, The Tony Castles invited Curren$y to come up and rock with the band. The juxtaposition of throngs of partygoers in the usually stolid aisles of a catholic church is enough to steam pleats out of the pope’s robe and Creative Control was there to recount the sacrilege in all of its glory.
