The "Gross Pop" specialists debut their new album in Anaheim. Photos by Beau Roulette

I was fortunate enough to be invited to Chain Reaction on Monday night to see The Used perform to a select private crowd.If you've never been to a live show at Chain Reaction, it’s a treat. No barricade to stop you from being up close and personal, no stairs to keep you up in the balcony, no AC units to keep the crowd or the band cool. It was loud, hot and sweaty as the USED came out for their set. No opener, no intermission...just the band everyone came to see. They played some oldies as well as a few of their new songs off of their new album "Artwork" in stores now. Overall it was amazing to see a band of this size performing in a club this small. Thanks to www.smartpunk.com for making us all feel like we found a time machine.. — Beau Roulette
