Last night, on November 11, 2014, Chicago rockers, Twin Peaks, provided a raucous show at The Constellation Room. Criminal Hygiene and Meatbodies got the crowd’s blood flowing with their opening sets. Despite the fact the Twin Peaks boys were heavily intoxicated and almost all of Santa Ana was in the other room were watching Method Man and […]

Cloud Nothings and Metz took The Roxy by storm last night for an incredible sold-out performance. Unfortunately we just barely missed the opening act, The Wytches, who we heard put on an excellent set. Each band was a powerhouse of pure noisy rock ‘n’ roll. Being in the pit with a camera is never a good idea; especially when you […]

Don’t be fooled by their age, The Orwells are an unstoppable band to be reckoned with. For those that don’t know, they play loud, fast, and catchy garage-punk tunes. They took The Troubadour by force last night with a sold-out performance. Supporting the Orwells were  Twin Peaks and Criminal Hygiene. A broken leg didn’t stop, one of Twin […]

Tame Impala supported by Jonathan Wilson, played a brain-melting, sold-out show last night at the Fox Theater in Pomona. Jonathan Wilson provided a solid opening act which got the crowd in the mood. The audience erupted with excitement before Tame Impala even had finished their first song and long before Kevin Parker, the singer of Tame Impala, told the audience […]

Last night, Cold War Kids, supported by Superhumanoids, played a sold out show at the Fonda. Superhumanoids drove the crowd crazy as a perfect opening act. The beautiful thing Cold War Kids succeeded at doing was bringing the audience together musically. It’s all too common now a days to go to a concert where there’s the […]

Last night in Chinatown’s Central Plaza, Fidlar proved to be the one band I have seen who has the consistent amount of energy every time I have seen them. Fidlar’s fanbase is by far an ever-growing populous of rock ‘n’ roll fans who live and die for the music. Before Fidlar finished playing their first song, “Cheap Beer,” I was already thrown against […]

When a person goes to a show they plan on being taken away from the world around them. The worries of the past, the stresses of the present, and the anxieties of future are all irrelevant. Concerts provide an opportunity for a person to escape and let the music flow over them like a giant […]

The King Khan & BBQ Show tore down the Troubadour last night. Feeding People helped set the rock ‘n’ roll mood as they started the show. The seemingly calm set, was flipped on its head as Feeding People began playing heavier songs. The audience knew what to expect since everyone was crowding the stage before their set had ended. By […]

Last night, Wavves dominated the Echo with support from Cheatahs and Fidlar to put on one-hell-of-a-rowdy show. I was surprised how the Echo could fit all those fans in one room. There was never a dull moment  in the show as each band brought a full-force powerhouse of a performance each with their unique style.The place was already packed when Cheatahs went […]

The Orwells dominated the Echo on February 22nd, with help from Criminal Hygiene and Gap Dream. When I first arrived at the show there were so many young people there. Some crowd members were talking about needing a fake ID for an eighteen and over show. It honestly felt like hipster prom. When Criminal Hygiene went on, all hell […]

‘Wow’ is the first word that comes to mind when I think of the Hives. I first started listening to the band at a very young age and they were my very first concert. I remember seeing them back in 2008 at the Wiltern and was stuck sitting in the balcony. I remember, even though I […]

It is almost impossible to go to a show and every single band sounds amazing. This past Tuesday, the impossible happened. Hot Water Music rocked the Echoplex in every way possible. Supporting Hot Water Music were The Mezingers and La Dispute. The Mezingers started the show off right getting the crowd flowing with energy. It wasn’t long before the obvious […]

Los Angeles punks, Fidlar, played the Constellation Room in Santa Ana this past Sunday (Jan 20, 2013). With the support from friends, Pangea and Meat Market, they all brought the rock and roll fury. I sadly missed seeing Meat Market. Pangea performed, in my opinion, one of their best shows I have ever seen. The sea of people […]

This past Friday (Jan. 18, 2013), Femi Kuti and the Positive Force performed at the El Rey Theatre. It was quite possibly one of the most beautiful shows I have ever attended. The show itself felt like more of cultural experience than anything. So many different musical influences fused together to create the band’s sound. The crowd was […]

The idea of a punk rock show in the afternoon sounded weird to me at first, but once the first band, ACxDC started to play, I knew there was nothing weird about this show. It was pure punk rock at its finest. The band’s singer, Sergio Amalfitano, held his two young daughters up, both of them […]

The Power of the Riff was not a show for tender ears. It was a show that people went to to hear their music, just the way they came to hear it: loud. Seven bands in one night proved for plenty of excitement and headbanging. Void Ov Voices started the show and the night ended with […]

Death Grips took over the Echoplex Thursday with the help of Cities Aviv. The show was nothing short of mind blowing! Check out the photo gallery below. Were you at the Death Grips show at the Echoplex? What did you think of it? Let us know your thoughts in a comment below. Photography by Ryan Bussard Death Grips Cities Aviv   […]
