Loudness War Record Release Party with Hydra Plane

So proud of my friends and boyfriend in Loudness War. LW released their 3rd album The Miser this past month with Transylvania Music Company. It was their first time recording with someone besides themselves and first time getting something pressed on vinyl! To celebrate the release, we threw a record release party at The Parlor and decorated the place to match the cover. Other BR darlings, Hydra Plane, opened the show. Night of psych, fusion and heavy fuzz. It was fun. When you get the chance, check out these two bands around town. See photos from the Record Release Party below....

The Parlor was so great for being down to let us go in there and decorate it. We had 2 cars almost completely filled with any greenery we could get our hands on. Turned out sick.

Honestly, it's been a blast photographing them for this long and to see them release yet another collection of music. It's admirable how much they just keep going. You'd be crazy to think they're not sitting on so much more.

One of the best parts are the crowds full of friends and strangers who keep coming back and learn the words. Don't stop showing up.

Keep supporting local music. Buy yourself a drink. Have a good day.

LIVE: Casual Burn @ Siberia 2.7.16

I caught Casual Burn opening for The Coathangers at Siberia last week. You can read my review of that show for KLSU riiiiiight here.

This was my second time seeing Casual Burn! I was pretty stoked too see them live again. The first time I saw this band... I think my jaw was on the floor the whole time while simultaneously dancing sporadically and just being really excited that they were that bad ass and that I was witnessing it. I have since featured them on More Than Noise a few times during our local spotlight we do at midnight.

Pretty sick tattoos. Had to get this shot.

Ok, but if you can't already tell, she has wild energy! It is perfect for the music Casual Burn makes and it is so precious for the live show experience. This is by far my favorite show I've photographed yet this year.

You can follow Casual Burn online and find their debut Talk Bad on their bandcamp page.
