Echo Park Rising: Saturday/Sunday 2018

Egret on Ergot

I got to shoot for Buzzbands for the second year straight at Echo Park Rising. I was recovering from a cold so wasn't 100%, but I still had a lot of fun doing it. If you'd like to see a ton of photos that I took as well as read a couple brief write-ups, click on the two links below.

Egret on Ergot

Some random notes that you won't find on Buzzbands:

A. Egrets on Ergot t-shirt: Fuck Sexual Predators.

B. I got caught up in an Egrets on Ergot's mosh pit and the person who did the most damage to my back was another photographer who did more body slamming than photography.

C. I got asked by one person over the weekend for my Instagram handle. I told him: @notesfromvivace. Which he then responded, "Oh, you're that guy." Not sure if that was a compliment or an insult.

D. Annabelle Maginnis of MetronOhm gets the award for being the most support musician to the musicians. She was everywhere.

E. Some bands I saw just randomly like Pink $ock. Why was Pink $ock random? First, I saw The Paranoyds heading inside. Then I saw a group jump out of an Uber and run into the venue. I figured I'd better check the band out.

F. I walked to the BlueCollar venue 3 times to see if Rachel Goodrich was playing. The venue was behind schedule by a good 30 minutes and I had other bands/artists to shoot. That shows how much I wanted to shoot Rachel Goodrich for Buzzbands. Great photographer Michelle Shiers was doing her thing, as well, when I finally got to catch Rachel Goodrich on the third try.
