BEACH GOTH II Part 2

Mega film coverage from the Growlers annual Beach Goth Party at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. 

Brooks with the anti-stance

Sign the waver, doesn't matter he's already dead.

 Curtis Harding rides the silver bullet

 "Come play with us" in the water

Too tall Nolan Hall gets spit out of the barrel with mustache still intact.

The Abigails "Ain't Nothing To Me"

 Dom with total freak commitment

Brooks and Melisa

 Tomorrows Tulips brings the party onstage...

 ...where Al Knost cuts loose.

I think he immediately regretted this but everyone in attendance was truly grateful for it.

"Did you see that shit?!"

Nolan was stoked on seeing the ultimate expression of Rock N' Roll live.

RIP vintage Fender Strat

It didn't go down without a fight though

Thee Rock N' Roll souvenir

 The crowd waited with baited breath for the next band.

 The Cosmonauts descended to earth to rock our earthling faces off

 Derrick lets his 12 string sing

Coming soon to a runway near you...

Hedi Slimane was on the sidelines documenting and taking notes.

Sharks were circling the stage waiting for The Growlers to go on.

Bumble bee Brooks belts out the blues

While Matt keeps in cool in crushed velvet

 Prison yard pit cam

"I wore a condom tonight expecting to get laid"

Stay hard, don't waist it.

BEACH GOTH II Part 1

Mega film coverage from the Growlers annual Beach Goth Party at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA.

 Encouragement for the youth

 Straight into the sweaty den of the Constellation room to see The Garden...

 ...where teenage musk fogged my lens.

 Taunting the fans with their androgynous looks

 Everybody wants a piece of the Saint Laurent models...

They got the knucks of approval. 

Its the 'like button' of the real world.

After the all the mosh shrapnel settled people were able to locate their lost possessions

"Brittney? are you under here?"

Some were lucky enough to grab a piece of rock ephemera...

...others were bored to death

Birds of a feather

Gap Dream got all sythy playing their new album Shine your Light.

Seattle's Night Beats

 Members of the Reverb Appreciation Society

Meanwhile outside in the teen smoker school yard

"What? I just vant to party!"

"Quick somebody grab the garlic and drive a steak through this kid!"

"I'm out for blood"

Boarder hopping, sombrero wearing walking stereotype.

The Mystic Braves went on stage let it all hang out much to our dismay

The night before this girl was blocking the entrance to the photo pit and denied my entry. She edged me out like she was playing defense for a rebound.

Aint no one fuck'n with dat

Part two coming soon...

I'm here to see and be seen...

Some rad bands I saw last month.

FUZZ played Alex's Bar in Long Beach which made for an awesome bike ride to and from the show.

Charlie Moothart waits for Ty's cue.

 "Activate the fuzz"

Roland Cosio rumbles the bass.

I love Alex's Bar, but I hate the way their stage looks in photos. 

"Are they playing inside a Mexican restaurant? A Catholic Church?"

"This time I got a reason..."

Debut Album and Fall tour coming soon.

BL!SSS magazine threw a rad part at the Observatory O.C. and they conviniently invited 3 bands that I've been wanting to see live.

Gap Dream

They sound like their name...

Bummer rock bad boy Al Knost and Tomorrow's Tulips.

The Cosmonauts shut the party down.
