The Dillinger Escape Plan brought a rare show to San Francisco's very own intimate and loved for it's "small size", venue where you can get your favorite band's sweat on your face or a foot to the head if you're lucky, on their latest tour of only smaller capacity sites.
TDEP, who are on the verge of launching their sixth studio record Dissociation, due out October 14, 2016 just recently announced that they are going on “an indefinite hiatus” after the tour cycle for the upcoming album. Their next and possibly last tour is set to run across the US and Europe before TDEP, just puts on the brakes for a bit. Check out more show coverage on the full review on BAM Magazine!
Bay Area loved NAME opened the night...
The Bay Area based ZED Rocked The Bottom of the Hill recently in San Francisco. This night was a night of friends, great musical performances and of course, their newest album, Trouble In Eden, which was released Aug. 26th on Ripple Music.
The members of Zed: Pete Sattari (Guitar/Vox), Rich Harris (Drums), Greg Lopez (Guitar), and Mark Aceves (Bass). Zed will be on the road again this fall with stops in Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona. Make sure to catch them soon if you haven't already, as this band will always make you sway and groove to their unique sound and give you 110% each and every time.

I had a chance to sit and chat with Cobi prior to the night’s performance, and do a little lighthearted interview which he actually didn’t know was scheduled, but humbly endured...
What I found out was that the Minnesota born singer, Cobi is very modest, he didn’t gloat during the interview about winning a MTV Video Music Award (with his former band Gentlemen Hall) or how he just came off the road as a guest singer with the huge progressive trance group Above & Beyond, playing some of the world’s best venues such as Sydney Opera House and Royal Albert Hall…

I had the pleasure to cover the Violent Femmes on May 10, 2016, night 1 of 2 Sold Out dates at San Francisco's Fillmore on their We Can Do Anything tour! And what a night this was... from the first verse, bass riff to the last drum hit, the Femmes entertained us off our happy nostalgic feet!

I had the opportunity to work with Bay Area based musician Mark Blasquez recently as he is working on multiple upcoming and on-going projects. We strove to capture a few shots to be used in his upcoming EP as well as portraits for his acoustic and publishing projects. Finding that we had a common ground of artistic ideas and vocabulary made this a great shoot and looks like we will be collaborating in the future. Below are a few shots from our day...
