This Train is Bound for Glory!

4.27.2011

About a month ago i got an email from GoldenVoice, a local concert promoter here in Southern California, and it read "RailRoad Revival Tour" and the bands that were to play this show were Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Mumford and Sons, and Old Crow Medicine show. I wasn't too familiar with Old Crow, but the first two bands mentioned were solid, so I knew I had to check this out! So I put in a call to a friend of mine and got a photo credentials set up for the show. The unique thing about this tour is all of the 3 bands playing would travel to each show in vintage train cars, so the locations of the shows were limited to areas that have railroads and this tour is only traveling through the Southwestern United States and ending In New Orleans, LA.

The Southern California date was in Port O' Call, San Pedro in a parking lot located right by the ocean. It was a perfect place to see these 3 bands.
First up was Old Crow Medicine Show





Old Crow really changed my opinion of them. They did a great job with their brand of twangy folk rock.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros












Mumford and Sons









The Grand FINALE! All 3 bands singing Woody Guthrie's "This Train is Bound for Glory".



What a perfect ending to a great night. It was good to see the camaraderie between all 3 bands on stage, showing everyone that music isn't about ego or popularity, it's about getting on stage and performing your heart out with people you love, doing what you love. Thank RailRoad Revival for driving that point home!

Anytime I have the chance to see Chasing Kings, I take it. For those of you know me know that when I like something I LIKE it and i really really enjoy The Chasing Kings. So last Tuesday they played The Satellite, formerly known as Spaceland, in Silverlake. The set was great, and people definitely liked what they heard. You can check them out here

A Day Full of GHOSTS

4.12.2011

Today was a day full of ghosts...
I woke up and immediately started listening to GHOSTFACE KILLAH. (Don't click the link if you're not a fan of hip-hop)
Then I started listening to some GHOSTWOLF tracks that Doug, Evan and Ryan have given me in the past couple months. A lot of really cool tracks that you guys are going to love.
AND then I started going over some video that I shot last week of EYES LIPS EYES recording new song called "GHOSTS" for their May Release. Check out the video below for a little preview.

Enjoy!
