Like his reportedly shady past, Los Angeles glam-rap sensation Mickey Avalon's live shows are fast becoming legendary among jaded clubgoers. Live, he has smashed a bottle over his head and engaged in not-so-simulated sex with a sultry back-up dancer. At gigs on his home turf, there have been fights, a new car destroyed, and, all the while, Avalon winning over the most hostile audiences with his rock-star charisma and ambisexual wordplay. His songs are spun by DJs at the most exclusive clubs frequented by the jet set, so the crowd tonight will likely include everyone from Paris Hilton-style gossip magnets to serious hip-hop fans who dig Avalon's undeniable rhyming skills. The rest will be there expecting the unexpected and hoping to see if his trousers don't fall down.
