more lo-fi mobile shots taken at The Antlers & The Silversun Pickups shows, the Paper Magazine party with Mr. Black's butt naked servers, over lunches in Venice & during walks in Elysian Park with Chicho.
riding the Elite to The Antlers show was a trip!
Honda made some cool spots for it back in the day:
it was really nice to see the Silversun Pickups too. Brian & Nikki who started the band were my housemates for 8 years. i remember them playing, rehearsing, partying in the living room. our parties quickly reached hundreds of friends & neighbors, with many other bands picking up instruments, from local LA bands to members of The Strokes & the likes. it was crazy. Nikki always made a mean breakfast the morning after, when everyone rose from whichever corner of the house they had crashed in. Mark who played records at the intimate show this week used to play records between the bands; he also goes by the name of Frosty & started DUBLAB. he was my college roommate before i moved in with Brian & Nikki. in my USC days, i'd just come sit in the room Mark & his brother Derek shared to listen to them playing records while coming down from whatever i was coming down from the previous night. good times! anyhew, it was nice to catch Brian & Nikki between legs of their European tour, and to have Mark there as well... all in the family!!!
