About Me

Hi, I'm Chris, and I document live music (audio and video). I do this to archive the shows that I attend for my own enjoyment; not for any financial profit (quite the opposite actually). The list of shows is just a quick reference for me so I don't forget about a show; I probably wont go/tape every show on that list. If any band wants a copy of anything I tape just let me know, and I will happily sent a copy of the audio and/or video as soon as I have them ready and edited.

Mikoto - Bakersfield + Orangevale, CA - August 19 + 22, 2008

This one is going to be pretty short, and without any youtube vids, because Mikoto was not at full strength for these shows. Guitarist / vocalist Matt had a death in his family, and was at a funeral i...

Beware of Safety / Giants - Fresno, CA - August 11, 2008

I'm starting to get a little behind again; mainly a result of me waiting to post some youtube links, and then getting backed up on the editing side. Everything is ready now, youtube videos and all!I w...

Touche Amore - Pasadena, CA - August 4, 2008

Last week I went to my first shows in almost two months. The first one was a local show, and not much to report at that one. One of the bands, in my opinion, was extremely disrespectful to the other b...

A video editing to-do list. (Lots of new videos updated)

    I've been pretty busy lately trying to catch up on the backlog of video work I've accumulated. I just finished the Circa Survive two-cam DVD from the memorial day show last month (i forgot about m...

Local H - Visalia, CA - June 7, 2008

    I caught Local H for the first time in 2 1/2 years last week in Visalia. Last time I saw them there it was at a pizza parlor (think Shakey's style if you have one near you) that if ...

Pelican / Circa Survive - Bakersfield, CA - May 26, 2008

    A blog being written the same week I saw the show! I don't feel like such a lazy ass anymore. Anyway, the mighty Pelican made their first stop in my hometown of Bakersfield on Monda...

Converge / Baroness - Hollywood, CA - April 18, 2008

    This is the only other show I went to in April. It was the opening of the LA Murderfest, which wasn't as bad as that may sound. It basically meant that the normal Converge tour woul...

Kaddisfly - Bakersfield, CA - April 12, 2008

    I'm starting to get a little behind again on this, but luckily (for this purpose at least) I haven't seen many shows in the past two months. I was able to catch one of my favorites ...

Taken - Anaheim, CA - March 8, 2008

This was a show I had been looking forward to since it was first announced last November (maybe October?). Taken. Re-union Show. Chain Reaction. Those three things put together, in my mind, assure...
