Trivia Aimee Mann sang two songs; "This is How it Goes" and "Pavlov's Bell" at the Bronze. During "Pavlov's Bell", a fight broke out between Spike and another vampire, the band stopped playing, Aimee Mann stopped singing for a second and after her performance, she spoke the line "Man, I hate playing vampire towns". Aimee Mann is the only singer/band featured on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) to have a speaking part. See more »

Quotes [Buffy approaches a bouncer outside a nightclub looking for Spike]
Buffy: I-I'm looking for this guy. Bleach-blond hair, leather jacket, British accent, kind of sallow, but in a hot way?
Bouncer: Yeah, yeah. I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?
Buffy: Actually, Billy Idol stole his look from- Never mind.
