The Displaced were back
Not so sad is that The Displaced seem to be back—for real. The core duo of guitarist Simon Mandel and bassist Jen Jansen have finally gotten over their drummerphobia and have played three excellent shows, culminating last Monday with a Casbah performance.
Says the always-witty Mandel, “Maybe it’s this new generation’s influences. Throw together Hannah Montana, Soldier Boy and Adderall, and you’ve got their typical club night. Us old farts have to break through that to make an impact.” He added, “It does seem like there’s a lack of real good rock bands coming out to play in San Diego these days, so why not [reunite]?” While no more local shows are scheduled, expect to see more of The Displaced once they return from New York, where they’re scheduled to play Sept. 9.
