Photos by Ella Gibson After an hour-long bus ride down Santa Monica Boulevard, in a brown leather jacket and chunky Dr. Martens, I found myself at a cemetery (literally). “Hollywood Forever: Funeral Home. Cemetery. Cremation.” Lining up next to a row of tombstones was definitely not how I envisioned my Wednesday night to begin, but…
I’ve heard that living in New York makes you too hard and living in Los Angeles makes you too soft. Three years after moving across the country for school, I’ll admit it- I’m soft. But on Thursday April 25th, Jes and I headed to the El Rey Theatre in West Hollywood to see Quarters of…
I don’t usually enjoy getting duped by TikToks implying that Steve Lacy is dropping unreleased music but Malcolm Todd’s are an exception. I first heard snippets of his hit song “Roommates” last year on my For You feed and shared the same sentiment as thousands of commenters on his post: release it now! Since then,…
Turning the corner onto Santa Monica Boulevard, I found myself in a sea of teens and twenty-something year olds in gold belts, long skirts, and silver nose rings waiting eagerly for the clock to strike. The doors opened promptly at 7:00, the 500-person venue filling by the minute. Eliza McLamb’s name was spelled out on…
Photos by BELIFT LAB While it is seemingly impossible for the average person to sing, dance, and engage thousands for almost 3 hours straight, Enhypen accomplished exactly that and more during their Fate Plus World Tour at the Honda Center. Enhypen’s members and music embody the essence of a K-pop group, characterized by stunning visual…
Sunset cruises, interactive art installations, beer gardens and… yacht parties? Spring has sprung and San Diego’s largest music festival was in full swing last weekend! From May 10-12th, Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival made its third appearance and exceeded beyond what I thought was possible. Located right on the waterfront, the festival grounds lay in…
Mannequin Pussy was unbridled sacrilege, defiant and rugged, teasing and contemplative. They took their audience to church, whipped them into a climactic frenzy, and left them on their knees.
If a psychedelic drug was a town in the United States of America, it would be San Luis Obispo. Its vibrant and charming downtown, quaint architecture, laid back lifestyle, and proximity to Pismo Beach allows for those passing through to take a minute and experience a trip through the small city. So, how fitting was…
As I step off the bus, I spot a group of beautiful girls adorned in Kuffiyehs and belly dancer coin belts wrapped around their waists and immediately allow myself to be guided by them to the venue. Unmistakably, we are all headed towards the Wiltern, where Elyanna, a rising pop star of Palestinian-Chilean descent, is…
As I approached the box office of the Fox Theater, I was greeted by a bustling line of people stretching hundreds of feet across 3rd Street. Although it was an hour before the show, eager fans were already lined up to catch Jungle’s performance, only two days before their highly anticipated Coachella appearance. Basking in…
