The photographers at Grimy Goods shoot a lot of shows (I mean A LOT). After spending a day going through all of our 2013 live music photo galleries, we’ve selected our best concert photos of 2013. From tiny underground shows to huge arena shows, the talented photographers at Grimy Goods cover the L.A. music scene like no other Los Angeles music blog. Indie, blues, hip hop, world music, folk, electronica, hardocre, punk, and just straight up rock ‘n’ roll and much more — Grimy Goods covers it all. Please take a look at our best live music photography of 2013 below!
A HUGE thank you to our brilliant team of photographers. They have a diverse lust for music and capture the Los Angeles music scene at its finest.
