Of course, the reason we made our pilgrimage to Simi in the first place was to see these amazing guys and gal up on stage, so without any further ado… The Material’s headlining show at 118 West in Simi Valley! If you get the chance please go vote for them in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands!!

The Material, 118 West Studios, Simi Valley, CA

Had another great opportunity to shoot The Material this past weekend in Simi Valley. We met up before their headliner at 118 West and Jon and I did some exploring and found a great shooting space in their recording studio in the Attic, so we gathered the band and did some quickie, stripped down, promo shots. Then I got some good candids of them with fans and doing their set up for their performance. I also got one before and one after of the band with Noah as we bade him farewell and happy trails this weekend. Check them out and let me know what you think!

Last week thanks to drum tech of awesome, Yoshi, I had the great chance to shoot the Take Action tour in Anaheim at the House of Blues. The show was amazing but sadly due to list snafus I missed Stereo Skyline—can’t wait to catch back up with these boys and get more good pics. But I made it just in time for There for Tomorrow’s set and the rest of the show, I even got to spend some time chatting with the amazing women at the National Marrow Donor Program that was there representing the Drive for Donors for the night. It was a great night with fantastic performances from all the bands and great hangs with all my Anaheim friends and of course, Yoshi. Enjoy the pics!!
