First Aid Kit at the Troubadour (November 8, 2011)

First Aid Kit at the Troubadour (November 8, 2011)

First Aid Kit are lead by two incredibly talented sisters, Johanna and Klara, who are the core of this folk-inspired group from Sweden. Though the songs on their albums are thick with lots layers of vocals and instruments, the live set is more raw, powerful, and in my opinion more … groovy. It’s easy to get...

Dec 1: Insects vs. Robots at Del Monte Speakeasy also with Ahkiyyini and Li Daiguo

DON’T MISS Insects vs. Robots. It’s important enough that I had to type it in all caps. Be prepared to just let yourself go and enjoy the spectacle. Their trance inducing music will envelope you and transform the crowd into a euphoric seething mass of peace, love and good vibes. Oh, the humanity. Even if you’re...

Summer 2011 Live on the Westside Round-up

Summer 2011 Live on the Westside Round-up

What an amazing Summer for live music here on the Westside. So many shows, I’m sure there are so many great ones that I didn’t get to go to. This post rounds-up some of my favorite ones that I had the privilege to experience and shoot:
The Shrine at the Del Monte Speakeasy (June 23, 2011)

The Shrine at the Del Monte Speakeasy (June 23, 2011)

The Shrine, ’nuff said! This band rocks out at full speed and at 110% all of the time. Words to describe the show, frenetic, chaotic, sweaty, oh, and LOUD. Incredible. [Listen]

Aug 26: REVIVAL FINALE @ redwood. ALL the local music heros and Coby Brown

In a way, REVIVAL symbolizes the reason this site exists. A place to experience the raw, ephemeral and unknown quality of music. Music that will probably never be played or heard in the same way again. Thankfully, they’re just moving across town to Venice, but the Redwood space is really something and won’t easily be duplicated. I’m...
