cowabunga babes and woah hunx at origami vinyl
Cowabunga Babes (from Austin) and Woah Hunx (from your nightmares) played at Origami Vinyl on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park. In the loft. Nobody fell over the edge.
nobunny at the echoplex
Nobunny played at the Echoplex in Echo Park a while ago, with Japandroids and All Leather (Keith Morris and Blaque Chris played records in between). They looked crazy; everyone went nuts.
wavves at madame wong’s in chinatown
Wavves had a record release party at the newly revived but soon to close Madame Wong’s legendary punk venue in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. Woah Hunx opened. Everything was brilliant.

The Bamboozle Roadshow stopped in [...]
mumford & sons at the henry fonda music box
My countrymen Mumford & Sons played at the Henry Fonda Music Box and seemed quite cheerful about it, too. I shot it for LAist, and Molly Bergen did the write up. The Middle East opened—pictures soon.
