Pat and Lee Reach 20,000 views

I am making an assumption here that the 7 people who read this blog already know what Death or Glory is and what my roll is with it. If not, please check out some of the previous posts. Pat Smear and Lee Ving were the guests on the first episode of Death or Glory and…

Death or Glory #7

I guess I’m going backwards, I posted episode #8 last week … Here’s Death or Glory #7 with Derwood Andrews from Generation X and Casey Chaos from Amen. In my mind, this episode epitomizes what Death or Glory is. It’s not an interview show, it’s a conversation between 2 people with interesting stories and you…

Big Deal …

While I am merely an unpaid hired gun set photographer, I feel very attached to Death or Glory. Recently, I assisted in putting on an event at Angel City Brewery called “Steal Music Buy Art” or SMBA for short. SMBA was created to debut 4 episodes of Death or Glory but became so much more….

I would pay you a dollar to play dollar.

Rocket From The Crypt played a 2 night stand at Alex’s Bar on January 30 and 31, 2015. They were great, playing different sets each night, and spanning their massive catalog. I’m sure everyone there left satisfied, hot, sweaty and tired … I also assume everyone there left bummed that they didn’t get the hear…

honky tonk your face off

Dave and Phil Alvin played an in-store at Fingerprints Record Shop in Long Beach on Tuesday 6/10/14. They were great! I was lucky enough to get a good spot in front of the stage and shoot some photos. One of the photos of Phil reminds me of the cover of the Blasters LP, it looks…

Bell Bottoms!!

I’ve seen the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion a few times – mostly back in the 1990’s … But I have to say, Wednesday night (4/17/14) at The Echo in LA, they were awesome. They have not lost a step. They were bar sludgy, swamp boogey, punk rock, or something like that. It was dirty and…

I never saw the Golden Gate Bridge

That’s true. We were in San Francisco for 4 days and never saw the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn’t see Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirradelli Square, we didn’t even see a cable car! We did get to see great friends (though we missed a few of those too), great bands, we ate great food and had a…
