When is a concert not a concert? When I’m attending it from my treadmill.
On Diffuser: Jack White Live From Madison Square Garden (and My Office)
The Magic of Wildling
Sometimes it seems like people in Los Angeles fall into one of two camps; they are either actors or musicians. Carry on a conversation longer than three minutes with anyone in this […]
Beach Goth III, Santa Ana California, 10/25/2014
The third annual Beach Goth was more circus than festival. The brainchild of garage-psych rock band The Growlers, Beach Goth is a one-day, all ages, balls to the wall party. This year […]
Ray LaMontagne, Davis California, 10/12/2014

Aftershock 2014: Rob Zombie

Aftershock 2014: Kyng
I have to admit: I wasn’t familiar with Kyng prior to Aftershock, but consider me a fan now. These guys have a classic metal sound, yet they’re very contemporary. Really cool stuff. […]
