Robedoor / The Moon Upstairs / Ya Ho Wa 13 / Billy Corgan @ Spaceland; Los Angeles, CA
Yeah, you read that right. The Great Pumpkin himself made a surprise guest appearance at last night’s Ya Ho Wa 13 concert in Silverlake. It was the most nauseating spectacle I’ve seen…

Ancestors / Conifer / Lightning Swords Of Death / Earthless @ Mountain Bar; Los Angeles, CA

88Boadrums @ La Brea Tar Pits; Los Angeles, CA
I went to see 88boadrums last night at the La Brea tar pits. It was alright. It didn’t get really interesting until about the last twenty minutes. Considering how loudly the stage…

Harvey Milk @ Loft 6
Let it not go unsaid that I fucking love Harvey Milk. I’ve become enamored of them somewhat late in life, because I was not even ten years old when the band originally…
