Concert Photography: Sleep Theory // The Afterglow Tour Part II // House of Blues San Diego 10.7.25
All Photographs by Sara Rosenthal Sleep Theory brought their high-octane Afterglow Tour Part II to San Diego last week. Along with openers Mourning Eve, Oxymorrons, and Pretty Wild, the packed crowd was dancing, singing, and jumping all night. Sleep Theory has been to San Diego before, but this is the first time as a headlining band. There were no signs of anxiety as they kept the energy high all night, mixing songs from their new debut album Afterglow with a bunch of covers,

Event Review: Quinton Griggs' electrifying debut // Madame Siam 5.31.22
Photo: Lexy Bouras Last Tuesday, tucked away to the side of glimmering Hollywood Blvd, hip and tiny underground music venue (no, literally, you have to go down a flight of stairs and sacrifice cell service in this subterranean club) Madame Siam hosted Breaking Sound LA, a too-coo-for-school showcase of the hottest local rising artists. While acts like Angelo Vivo, Ada, and Grant Kemp rocked the house with their contagious energy and eclectic variety of sound, I would be lyin

Concert Photography & Event Review: Frank Iero // Asbury Lanes 6.28.19
There’s a reason Frank Iero is one of our favorite artists to see live. The raw passion and energy he puts into every note of his recorded songs carry over incredibly to his live performances. Every single night he gets on that stage, he plays as if his life depends on it. And considering his dedication to music throughout life, in a roundabout way, that might just be the case. His fans can easily reciprocate that feeling, creating an electrifying environment at his concerts.

“I Bought Tickets For This Show Not Knowing How I’m Going To Get There” Part Four: All Time Low’s Su
All Time Low is one of those bands that occupies a strange and special place in my heart. Despite listening to them for years, I just recently got the opportunity to see them live for the first time at the San Diego date of the final Warped Tour. Their set was incredibly fun and definitely unforgettable ,but for me at least, one thing was missing: Stella. Was it surprising that my favorite All Time Low song, track 2 off 2009's Nothing Personal didn't make the six-song Warped

Concert Photography & Event Review: Citizen // Union Transfer 5.17.19
On May 10, the band Citizen embarked upon a co-headlining tour with fellow midwest rockers Knuckle Puck. Completing that lineup as the opening bands are Oso Oso and Hunny. From start to finish, it’s a lineup like no other, evoking sing-a-longs, crowd surfing, and mosh pits in cities all across the US. Fans of Citizen are nothing short of loyal, arriving in line hours before doors and holding their own against barricade for even longer, just waiting to hear that first note of

The Time Mark Hoppus Guestlisted Me To An Enema Of The State Anniversary Show // I Bought Tickets To
A/N: The title is long, the title sounds misleading. It’s not. I figured I’d put this story in the “I Bought Tickets…” series despite the fact that- as you can tell by the title, I very much did not buy tickets to this show. Still, I think it fits in perfectly with the theme of the series because this story is all about how music moves people and some how some artists can take you on an undeniably unexpected adventure. I like Blink-182. I really do. I’ve always found

Concert Photography & Event Review: Violet Days // Observatory OC 5.3.19
Riding the calm synth wave of the 2010's indie music boom, Violet Days brought their dreamy alt-pop right to The Observatory OC (in support for The Midnight) for an evening of dance-able beats and ethereal vibes. Lead singer Lina Hannson captivates the audience with her sweet demeanor and clear, powerful vocals perfectly layered over electric keyboard and drums. The group paird their trendy sound with meaningful lyrics dwelling on themes of love, loneliness, and indecision, m

I was at the Ice Cube concert in Del Mar with the shooting. We need to talk about it.
I go to a lot of concerts. I also know the risk of doing so. I remember hearing the stories of Le Bataclan, Manchester or Las Vegas for the first time, and I still get chills run down my spine. The world is a scary place, and it’s terrifying to know that there are people out there attacking innocent fans at a show, a place that’s supposed to be safe and enjoyable for all. These tragedies haven’t stopped me from pursuing live music, though. I believe that when we stop doing th

Taylor’s Guide To Weezer and Making It To A Concert Right After Your Shift
Going to concerts frequently is obviously the ideal way of living. But between tickets, merch, parking, and food, that money has to come from somewhere.
