Jameson Files #8: The Badboys of Boise

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011
  When Jameson and I arrived at The Knitting Factory, we were blown away by the proportions of everything. By then, I had gotten used to the guys rocking the pants off of a handful of fans in small venues like bars, but TKF was… Read More

Jimi Lives! at Lou’s on Fisherman’s Wharf

Friday, July 1st, 2011
Drew and I first shot Jimi Hendrix at The Bistro in Hayward.  We had just left Buffalo Bill's and were skateboarding around looking for stuff to blast [and a place that served something besides beer and wine --Bohan], and we heard music playing.  We said to each other "Hmm, that sounds like Jimi Hendrix."  As we skated closer and peeked inside the venue we were in shock.  "Holy shit! It actually is Jimi!" Read More

Jameson Files #7: KenneSICK!

Monday, June 27th, 2011
    Waking up the morning after Olympia, my foot was in bad shape.  It was super swollen and needless to say, painful.  Jay is a highly skilled ninja, and took it upon himself to make sure I was doing everything I could to heal quickly, and I can't thank… Read More

Jameson Files #6: This… is… OLYMPIA!

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011
Olympia was a painful show.  Not only because the venue was somewhat unpromoted, but this was also where I sustained my foot injury.  Jameson still melted the faces off every fan who showed up though, believe you me.     Read More

Jameson Files #3: Portland Under Fire

Saturday, May 21st, 2011
    The road to Portland.  One of our longest stints, since the Redding show was unfortunately canceled.  On the way we decided to stop and grab a snap of the band with Mt Shasta in the background.  This is surely the most brutal group of dudes this freeway offramp has ever seen. Read More

Jameson Files #2: Sacra Metal

Thursday, May 19th, 2011
    Upon arriving in Sacramento, we left the confines of the van to stretch our legs and grab a bite to eat.  When you walk around with Jameson, you get looked at.  I'm pretty sure most… Read More

¡WARNING! THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE LIFEBLASTERS POST!

...in fact, this and the installments to come should prove to be some of the rawest material we've ever brought to you.  This is not for the feint of heart, or the feint of balls.  If you're down for the in-depth… Read More

Signs of Symmetry

Thursday, April 28th, 2011
I was going through an old hard drive, and I came across some pics of my friend Var's band Signs of Symmetry that I shot in 2007 at Teddy B's in San Mateo. I only went to shoot them a few times but it was always fun. They played a kind of metal influenced… Read More

The road to LBC is paved with metal

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Life Blasters was born in Yosemite National Park, 1/3 of way between San Francisco and Las Vegas on a road trip to Formula DRIFT. It's drifting season again, and that means road trip season. Here's the first one.     Pitts:  We set out from Lab17 in Drew's trusty Camry only to find dead stopped traffic on 580 due to a pretty awesome looking accident (pictured below).  Little did we know the long road ahead was littered with accidents, weather, and other excitement.  … Read More

Kelso Circle @ The Boardwalk

Friday, January 28th, 2011

On the outskirts of Sacramento, there's a little joint called The Boardwalk. I made the trip out there last night to see what Ryan Kado does when he isn't winning drift events, which happens to be melting faces with his loud-ass rock band, Kelso Circle. From the moment I arrived… Read More
