Warped Tour 2012 @ AT&T parking lot in San Francisco 6/23/12

Warped Tour 2012 took place at a new venue this year, AT&T park­ing lot in San Fran­cisco. It was very small and for the first time, Warped Tour sup­pos­edly sold out. I was lucky enough to get in with a photo pass and all thanks to Mon­tana. I took pic­tures of about 15 bands and they came out great!

Yel­low­card played on the main stage and killed it. Full set of pic­tures HERE.


Of Mice & Men’s Austin Carlile per­form­ing on the main stage at Warped Tour. For the full set of pic­tures, check them out HERE.


Breathe Car­olina also played the main stage and fired up the crowd at Warped Tour. Full set of pic­tures HERE.


The Ghost Inside was another favorite from Warped Tour.


All Time Low jumped into the crowd and played to the fans. Full set HERE.

There a ton of pic­tures I took of amaz­ing bands at Warped tour. Check thema ll out on my flickr page. Let me know what you think and share the pic­tures with every­one. Warped tour was amaz­ing and I plan on tak­ing pic­tures again next year.

The Wonder Years, Polar Bear Club, Transit and The Story So Far @ Slim’s on 3/27/2012

This past Tues­day I got to check out some pretty amaz­ing bands from all over the coun­try play at Slim’s. Although it was a small and not very well lighted venue for pho­tog­ra­phers, the bands put on one hell of a show and I ended up get­ting some pretty cool pictures.


Pic­tured above is the Polar Bear Club from New York who put on a crazy per­for­mance! For more pic­tures, check out the set HERE.


Tran­sit put on a great per­for­mance and fans were fly­ing every­where for them. For the entire set, check them out HERE.


The Story So Far, a local band, was the crowds favorite of the night! For more pic­tures, click HERE.

Unfor­tu­nately I didn’t get pic­tures of The Won­der Years since they wouldn’t let us take pic­tures on stage and the crowd was to rough to bring my cam­era through.

Rebelution, The Green and Pep Love at The Catalyst on 2/19/2012

I love Santa Cruz and I’ve always wanted to go to a show at The Cat­a­lyst. Luck­ily a great reg­gae band from Santa Bar­bra, Cal­i­for­nia put on an amaz­ing show last Sun­day night. They are called Rebe­lu­tion. Pep Love started the night right as the open­ing act, get­ting the crowd going. The Green came on next and rocked the stage. I’ve never heard them before but after that per­for­mance, they def­i­nitely caught my atten­tion. The Cat­a­lyst was buzzing with excite­ment after The Green fin­ished their set. What I loved about The Cat­a­lyst was the energy I felt inside. The venue isn’t huge, it has a bar, a pizza place and bar­ri­cades for the drunk 21+. It was easy to be at the very front and rock out to your favorite band. Every­one was so nice around, even if most of them were under the influ­ence of some­thing. Peace, Love and Reg­gae. Finally Rebe­lu­tion came on, going strong with their opener, a mem­ber on the sax­o­phone with a spot­light shin­ing on him. They played a 90 minute set play­ing new and old songs that every­one could enjoy. I knew a bunch of their songs which made shoot­ing pic­tures of them even more fun. They sounded great and put you into a happy, relaxed mood that made you want to lis­ten to them all night. For the com­plete sets of all the pic­tures from the night and pre­vi­ous shows, check out my gal­leries here.




Rebe­lu­tion put on an amaz­ing per­for­mance! If you love the reg­gae music and scene I rec­om­mend you lis­ten to them imme­di­ately. More pic­tures of Rebe­lu­tion click here.



The Green at The Cat­a­lyst putting on one hell of a show for every­one. More pic­tures of The Green located here.


and finally Pepe Loe, the open­ing act who dropped some awe­some beats and rhymes to get the crowd mov­ing. More pic­tures of Pep Love located here.
