So I have seen A Place to Bury Strangers multiple times, in fact, the last time I saw them I was not doing concert photography but I decided to play around on the iPhone and see what I could do with it. That was the night I said, “I gotta do this shit!”. So it […]
MoreWild Ones It was a very interesting night at Club Bahia in Echo Park this past Wednesday. There was a great lineup at the new indie club, but unfortunately there was a slim turnout. I don’t know if it’s the new-kid-on-the-indie-block jitters, seeing as the Echo and Echoplex run game on indie/breaking shows in Los Angeles, […]
MoreThis past Friday, Caribou and Koreless came out and put on a hell of a show at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. I’m not sure if the crowd was on ecstasy or if they were just extremely moved by the music. They were definitely under some kind of harmonious of a spell as they swayed […]
MoreThe Southern belles, dudes and Angelinos gathered around the front porch that we will just call The Echo in Los Angeles. The only thing missing was ma’s chili cookin in the kitchen, but the Budweiser was flowing in place of it. Scott H. Biram and Jesse Dayton brought the deep south to Los Angeles on […]
MoreWell it was the first Friday of the month and The Echo family and KCRW teamed up to throw a party in a place where dinosaurs, elephants, polar bears and any other animal extinct or not, all coexist with one another. The evening started with the museum opening to guests while checking out exhibits with KCRW DJs […]
MorePatti Smith came out for two shows at the Theater at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. Being a photographer they only gave us two songs to shoot, but from what little I did see, it was a great show, and I knew the fans were going to be in for a treat. Smith […]
MoreIt was a small private show at the offices of Flood magazine. I got there a bit early, way before they started allowing people in and watched the sound check of Blonde Redhead. They were deciding what songs to play as they also figured out which lights should go where. It was nice to watch the […]
MoreIt was an extremely packed house at Bardot in Hollywood this past Monday night, as fans gathered for the weekly free indie music series “It’s A School Night”. The band was Wolf Alice and they came from the UK to have their first debut in Los Angeles. Squeezed in like sardines in a can, I […]
MoreIt was a night of charming indie rock and adoring fans at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, California. On January 25th, Bad Suns played to a packed house full of screaming ladies and a few dudes here-and-there. You could tell that the band was really excited to play in their hometown, they seemed […]
MoreIt was a chill setting and people trickled in slowly at The Echo this past Tuesday for Castro’s headlining performance. Unfortunately, there was a small crowd in attendance which is such a shame because it was a really stellar night of good music featuring Castro out of Los Angeles and Potty Mouth from Massachusetts. If […]
MoreGeographer played the El Rey this past Saturday night captivating fans with a blissful performance. Michael Deni came out dressed in sleek black, and right away hypnotized the packed room with his charming stage presence and vocals. Deni is a man of many talents and seamlessly transitions from vocals, guitar, keys and sax. The people in […]
MoreThe Muffs It was a rockin’ Friday night at The Satellite for The Muffs‘ headlining performance along with supporting acts Inger Lorre and the Summer Twins. The Muffs came out and had some small technical difficulty. We saw frontwoman Kim Shattuck grow a bit nervous that her amp wasn’t working, but like a pro, she got that […]
MoreGossip Girl’s, Leighton Meester performed an acoustic set at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, California this past Tuesday night. It was a dark and intimate scene with a room that looked like it was out of an old-time movie. The red curtains were drawn and Meester’s quintet came out and played a beautiful set. There […]
