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 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 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.

I love Trash Talk. The first time I saw them I’d been feeling unenthusiastic about taking pictures for a while, and they changed it. I will never, ever turn down an opportunity to shoot them. Congratulations, Sam & Co! I somehow haven’t shot them since last November in London at the Camden Barfly—but I don’t [...]

Old concert photography: Ages ago, Harlem played at Madame Wong’s with the Smith Westerns. It was a good night. PS—I’m testing posting using the PhotoShelter plugin for WordPress, and I like it very, very much.

My favourites Blitzen Trapper played the El Rey in Hollywood. Big fan Rainn Wilson performed a special encore after filming himself murdering each band member individually before the show. I shot it for LAist, where you can see more. I’ve been slacking on updating my site because I’ve been shooting lots (and archiving what feels [...]

Now that I’m back from shooting the Woodsist festival in Big Sur (where driving almost anywhere involved stopping every five seconds to shoot more crazy fog-soaked vistas), here are some new published live music images and some portraits, too. The Bamboozle Roadshow stopped in [...]

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.

On May 31st, the Dodgers played the Diamondbacks. I shot the anti Arizona law SB1070 protest outside Dodger Stadium for The Eastsider LA.
