Whenever Saxsquatch comes to town, you know you’re in for a wild night. There’s only one show where you can see a 7-foot-tall saxophone-wielding Bigfoot bring down the house with his mad deejay skills — all while wearing reflector sunglasses. In preparation for such an event, I got as furry as possible. Over-the-boot fuzzy blue […]
The Floozies were one of the first bands I ever got approved to photograph. I remember driving from Fargo to Minneapolis on my 25th birthday to shoot their show at First Avenue in 2018. It was only like my second or third photo pass and the first band I ever shot that I actually listened […]

For the EDM community in St. Louis, though, this holiday was celebrated by falling into a swirling electronic trance led by the […]
Let me preface that I’m a not a basshead. Nor am I a candy kid. I’m not a categorical anything, let alone a ‘raver’… my Spotify listed my listening age as 78 for 2025. I like a bit of everything, so when I saw INZO was coming to The Sound in Del Mar, I was […]

Zeds Dead recently took over the Wintrust Arena in Chicago for an entire weekend. We were lucky enough to cover the first of the two-night rager.

Walking up to The Sound a the Del Mar Racetrack in San Diego was quite a scene. You could already tell it was about to be a funky, monkey, crunchy night.

Everyone has at least one band they dream about seeing perform live one day. For me, my list is just a tad longer than just one (okay, more than a tad), but I’m happy to say I have been able to check another one off of my list. I was asked, “Wanna go see Kaytranda […]
It was a rainy. It was cold. It was a Tuesday night nearing the holidays. The odds were against grandson when his INERTIA Tour hit San Diego’s Observatory Theater in North Park, with H09909 in tow. Despite everything, there was still quite an adequate turnout for the metal-meets-rap-meets-EDM enigmatic singer-songwriter. But up first was another […]
