Caught a Ghost, Mating Ritual and The Lonely Wild at Chinatown Summer Nights

The weather temperature didn't drop much during Chinatown Summer Nights. That also applied to the bands at the LA Weekly stage. Caught a Ghost, Mating Ritual and The Lonely Wild kept the heat high.

Caught a Ghost set veered from dance to pop to gospel. They had a friend that was using confetti cannons. He was shooting confetti into the audience. I gave him some hand motions to send some over Caught a Ghost. He did. I tried my best to capture some solid photos.

Mating Ritual is Ryan Lawhon with friends. The band recently did a residency in front of packed crowds at The Satellite. Ryan is one person who knows how to move on stage. He doesn't always do it by some quick dance moves. A raised arm at just the right angle can highlight the moment.

The Lonely Wild was the main reason why I went out to this Chinatown Summer Nights. I hadn't seen the band in a very long while. Here's a band that is willing to use two trumpets. They always do a Depeche Mode cover. And during one song the drummer played the sides of his cymbals, making them sound like bells. I love that band and they delivered a one hour set.
