Mars and the Massacre at Silverlake Lounge

Mars and the Massacre started off their night with a bang.  Dressed in white with some fake blood on their faces, these vampire zombies shook the Lounge with their music.

Note:  prior to their set, they set up a television and a video game console.  Folks lined up to play.

Wasi at Silverlake Lounge

Wasi. I wish the lights were a bit more consistent at the Silverlake Lounge.  The guitarist of this band is sure fun to photograph as she is a ball of energy.

This band will have you dancing.

Conway at It's a School Night

Conway. It was my first time at It's a School Night in a very long time.  What got me out there?  A fellow music blogger sent me a text saying I needed to check out Conway.  So off I went.  She commands that stage and her vocals drill you with motion.

And for one of the worse photos -- I need to upgrade my point and shoot.

Max and the Moon at The Bootleg

Max and the Moon. A band with dual vocals that grab your attention.

Harper Blynn at The Bootleg

Harper Blynn at the Bootleg was an experience. They don't let you rest on your feet as the beats keep on coming.

The Tragic Thrills at The Bootleg

I walked into The Bootleg and The Tragic Thrills were kicking off their soaring vocal set.

Raw Geronimo at The Satellite

Raw Geronimo closed out the night at The Satellite.  The avant-garde wildness of this band was on full display on this night.  The crowd was pressed close to the stage to enjoy it all.  And why not press close to the stage?

Spirit Vine at The Satellite

Spirit Vine is doing the October residency at The Satellite.  Some witchcraft arising through the fog.

The Reflections at The Satellite

The Reflections.  The first band I've seen at The Satellite in a very long time due to my time away in San Francisco.  It was a great way to get re-acquainted with The Satellite.  Some smooth rock sounds.  

Bombay Show Pig at Harvard and Stone

Bombay Show Pig. I have to say that Bombay Show Pig is my favorite find at Culture Collide.  And so I knew I just had to catch them again.  It was off to Harvard and Stone on Sunday night, the very next day after seeing them at Culture Collide.

Loud.  Energetic.  Beautifully crafted rock music.  What else can a person want from a band?

I need to see them again someday.  Maybe I'll hit it big someday and take some random flight off to The Netherlands to catch one of their sets :-).
