Back to Blogging – 2023 Edition
It’s been a year since my last blog, which was on April 15, 2022. So what happened? Why did I stop before live music really got going? I don’t really have a good excuse, so I’ll give you a bad one: I got bombarded with live music festivals. Shortly, after my last blog, I went…

Starting Back Up
The last time I blogged was February 29, 2020, a few weeks before the pandemic reached the US. Even though I started watching live music again back in May, 2021, I still hesitated to start this back up. This was mainly because I felt like this medium had grown obsolete, while other forms of social…

Unless indicated, I took all the pics posted on this blog. Feel free to repost – just remember to give credit. Cheers! Starcrawler at Fingerprints A couple years ago, I’d read (I think it was Kevin Bronson in buzzbands.la) that Starcrawler would be opening for acts that they’re better than. That’s always stuck with me.…

Happy Sundays LBC
Happy Sundays LBC For the second year, I ventured over to Anaheim St, in my own neck of the woods, to catch some of the Happy Sundays LBC festival. Started three years ago, the festival is a great opportunity to watch some up-and-coming smaller acts, especially a few I missed a couple weeks back. A…
