I walked into the Troubadour a little too early… One of the first acts had just wrapped soundcheck and the entire room was buzzing with crew. Firmly in the center of the room was Linda Perry (of 4 Non Blondes), directing a film crew with the angles she wanted for the evening. She was filming […]
UK hardcore legends Bring Me the Horizon brought their Post Human World Tour to the Kia Forum in LA, alongside Knocked Loose, grandson and siiickbrain. With a lineup like this, I knew it was going to be a show to go early to and prepare myself. All these guys are known for their rowdy (although […]

On September 16th, New Zealand legends Katchafire headlined at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach (a suburb of San Diego).
